Das Projekt "Eine innovative Methode für die vorort Sanierung von verschmutzten Böden unter bestehenden Strukturen (CLEANSOIL)" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von Verein zur Förderung des Technologietransfers an der Hochschule Bremerhaven e.V., Technologie-Transfer-Zentrum Bremerhaven durchgeführt. In CLEANSOIL arbeitet das TTZ mit 5 weiteren Forschungspartnern aus Russland, der Ukraine und Polen zusammen. Des Weiteren besteht das Konsortium in diesem von der EU geförderten 'INCO-Specific Targeted Research Project' aus 2 Unternehmen aus Spanien und Schweden. Wissenschaftlich-technologische Hauptzielsetzung in CLEANSOIL: In CLEANSOIL soll ein System zur Sanierung von Böden und zum Grundwasserschutz entwickelt werden das es ermöglicht, einen Sanierungsgrad des Bodens zu erreichen, der dem ursprünglichen Leistungsvermögen des Bodens entspricht. Das CLEANSOIL System kann dabei vor allem immer dann zum Einsatz kommen, wenn das Abtragen und Beseitigen des verschmutzten Bodens keine Option darstellt. Das Prinzip ist speziell ausgerichtet auf große Flächen verschmutzten Bodens und besonders dann empfehlenswert, wenn die Beseitigung des Bodens aufgrund der örtlichen Gegebenheiten nicht bzw. nur schwer umzusetzen ist (unter Gebäuden, Straßen, Eisenbahnstrecken, etc). Das CLEANSOIL System besteht aus Absorptionskörpern, die miteinander verbunden und wie an einer Kette aneinander gereiht sind. Diese Ketten liegen innerhalb perforierter Rohre, die durch horizontal gebohrte Löcher parallel zueinander in den Boden eingebracht werden. Die auf diese Weise in den Boden implementierten Absorptionsmittel können die Schmutzstoffe aufnehmen. Nach einer bestimmten Zeitspanne werden die Adsorptionskörper entfernt und das Absorptionsmittel für weitere Einsatzmöglichkeiten wieder aufbereitet.
Das Projekt "Optimal engineering design for dependable water and power generation in remote areas using renewable energies and intelligent automation (OPEN-GAIN)" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von Universität Heidelberg,Institut für Technische Informatik durchgeführt. Objective: To combat water scarcity and desertification, intensive desalination activities have been carried out in remote arid regions. However, desalting is resources and energy intensive, which are limited and expensive. Thus, water production must be increased while keeping the consumption of resources affordable. For remote arid areas, de-centralised solutions for energy and water co-production offer advantages over large central production sites. Finally, skilled personnel is normally absent in such areas, what demands dependable systems. To implement all this, a highly qualified consortium complemented by experienced subcontracting companies was established. This project offers a solution to cost optimal co-production of energy and water using renewable energy besides diesel generators. Cost optimisation is achieved through a high level of automation, which is necessary to adapt the working conditions to the strongly varying renewable energy supply, and remote maintenance. The approach is based on thorough modelling of the processes and offers a large degree of flexibility in the design to meet different production requirements. The project's work packages are so organised that high teamwork with less management effort is possible. The later transfer from R& TD to the manufacturers will lead to new products with increased benefits. Companies will reduce cost due to an optimal engineering design. They can also offer better maintenance services based on higher reliability and remote monitoring. European countries will become more familiar with the MPC regional demands. This shall lead to a decisive advantage in the international market with a better access for their products to MPC and MENA countries. The new product shall also improve the quality of life in the affected regions and MPC will obtain a better access to European R&TD; their personnel of water authorities and power suppliers shall obtain an added qualification for engineering services.

Das Projekt "Capacity Building for Sustainable Treatment and Valorization of Olive Mill Waste in Palestine (OLITREVA)" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von Applied Research Institute Jerusalem Association durchgeführt. As for the whole Mediterranean, for thousands of years, the olive tree has been an integral part of the Palestinian landscape: a symbol of Palestinian identity, culture and tradition. Nowadays, around 100.000 families in the West Bank depend on olive cultivation as their main source of income and during harvest season, this sector creates thousand of additional jobs. Despite the significant contributions of the olive oil sector in the economic and social development of the Palestine, it is becoming a source of serious environmental problems to which urgent solutions have to be addressed. OLITREVA project aims to strengthen RTD and cooperation capacities of Palestinian research centres and thus, to enhance their response to the environmental threats posed by olive oil production residues in the country. Our target would be to enhance S&T capacities of local research performers devoted to the field of Olive Mill Waste Treatment, by increasing networking and cooperation with European centres of top-level research and scientific excellence working in the same field. Through this path, local researcher centres and researchers will develop the necessary capacities to respond to the environmental challenges result from incorrect OMW disposal. By engaging one of the country's leading research institutions, The Applied Research Institute-Jerusalem, awareness among local peer organizations on this research field will be raised. Moreover, several activities within the work plan are meant to be a platform to increase international awareness about the work performed by Palestinian research institutions and to promote networking activities and transfer of knowledge and best practices.

First WP will deal with transfer of best practice and best technologies in RES for isolated regions, comprising energy transformation, distribution, operation and control, connection to the local ne twork, energy storage and organizational as also other implementation issues. In the second WP the regulatory framework of each WB country will be analyzed to identify barriers and local specifics. This will be archived by exchange ofinformation on establi shing incentives for promotion of RES and experiences with harmonisation with EU legislation in EU, AS and WB countries. Communication and dissemination with key focus groups (policy makers, utilities and SMEs, higher education system) will be the objectiv e of the WP3. Fore each key focus group of actors important for RES implementation in the region a special dissemination program will be carried out comprising targeted workshops, conferences, public reports and summer schools. The fourth WP will be devote d to project management issues and to support actions and activities in the first three work packages.
Das Projekt "Hybrid Renewable Energy Systems for Supplying of Services in Rural Settlements of Mediterranean Partner Countries (HYRESS)" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von Agricultural University Athens, Department of Natural Resources and Agricultural Engineering durchgeführt. Objective: The strategic objective of the proposed project is to remove the knowledge barriers against the installation of Hybrid Renewable Energy Systems and the creation of mini-grids based on renewables. Ultimate objective of the project is to develop, combine, install, test and assess (technically and socially) the performance of low-cost pilot hybrid Renewable Energy (RE) systems in remote areas of the Mediterranean, which are not yet grid-connected. The hybrid systems will be consisted of photovoltaics, small wind generators, hydrogen subsystems and they will be installed in selected areas of the MPC countries to set-up and provide energy and associated services thus aid to the increase of the standard of living of these rural communities. The systems will be configured and sized after taking into account the local conditions. Three hybrid systems will be installed in remote rural areas of Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia. The systems should fulfil criteria as modularity, robustness, and simplicity in use and also require very low maintenance. Additional considerations for the technologies selection and implementation regard the possibility of systems standardisation and replication. Furthermore, the local installations will serve as good practice, accelerate local skill development, and promote and encourage international partnerships amongst all relevant stakeholders, such as research, financial, and regulatory institutions, industry and service companies, in particular SMEs, local representatives and social players. By setting-up the afore mentioned three pilot installations in three MPC the proposed research will bring a significant contribution for creating sustainable structures with a decent living quality in the rural environments of the MPC by developing highly innovative hybrid RE installations based on the availability of local renewable energy sources and the local social conditions and needs.
