Proposed Approach
In EU proposals, technologies present solution by value chain (partnership in technology)
European Commission introduced Smart Specialisation (S3) for regional economic growth. In that regional
identify strong areas and specialize. The actors in the area will create economic growth. This create
growth of Europe. In reality, gathering partners and collaborations in strong area is finding a value chain.
Most researchers have not even heard about Smart Specialisation. Adding a partner in that for knowledge
transfer and innovation capacity is an added value. EU regional strategies and EU project align and create
synergies. Motivation is stronger. When two equally good project proposals are compared, the one with
smart specialisation will be favored since it aligns EU interests.
Alminica AB is looking for partners with sustainable technology proposals to support with knowledge
transfer to create higher probability to implement them (my personal motivation is sustainability)
My combined competence is unique. There is
no similar SME that provides innovation
service (knowledge transfer) and has leading
technology knowhow (I was 26 years in
research).

HORIZON-CL5-2021-D3-03-02: Next generation of renewable energy technologies

Proposed Approach
Scope: Reservoir development and exploitation within an untested geological setting of south west
of England by use of innovative technologies for repeatable success.
Problem Solving: Angus Energy considers that for a geothermal project to be successful, geological
risk, well costs, facilities costs, connection costs and efficiency must all be addressed holistically.
We plan to deliver this by:
1. utilising our existing oil and gas techniques to de risk the geological setting
2. reduce the cost of drilling by innovative well design and completion techniques
3. research, pilot and implement alternative turbine designs to improve efficiency
4. select surface sites with grid and direct heat and electricity connection
Partners:
We have already engaged with a range of supply chain partners; however, we are looking to
enhance our team with specialists in fault system assessment, fluid flow and reservoir modelling,
analysis and interpretation of heat flow, rock thermal properties, percussion drilling, impulse
turbine design.
Existing UK based SME onshore oil and gas
exploration company transitioning to geothermal.
Capabilities:
1. Existing wellbore assets in the UK to test new
technology
2. Access and contacts to drilling rigs and
suppliers within the UK and Europe.
3. Landowner relationships to access multiple sub
surface targets.
4. Well design adapted from decades of oil and
gas drilling.
5. Geological analysis and interpretation
6. Consenting and project management
7. Local and national grid connection knowledge
Experience
By applying our existing onshore UK exploration and production oil and gas experience, our goal is
to convert this wealth of experience and know how into geothermal.
We have bolstered our competency with a new hire from Imperial College London whose recent
thesis, supported by Angus Energy, on geophysical datasets concluded that this area is viable and
an extremely promising area for geothermal production.
We are engaged with renewable financiers to support a long term vision of replicating the initial
pathfinder site across multiple locations in the local area for direct electrical and heat supply and
connection to grid. We have opened discussion with National Grid plc on this point.
Seeking to co-ordinate with partners to deliver a
geothermal site located in England.

the natural and social environment

Proposed Approach
What is your understanding of the part of the problem you can solve?
We are focused on novel but also cost-effective systems to obtain biomethane, being
this second point the main bottleneck of these technologies. Such as: Optimized
membranes system, Biological methanation, Accelerated carbonation, Microalgae
cultivation , chemical absorption with new sorbents and also optimized gasification
that includes a second step of biological methanation.
What part of the Scope do you want to address?
We have capabilities and infrastructures to test and operate (at lab, pilot or semi-
industrial scale) innovative biomethane production systems designed by us or we could
also validate other novel upgrading system from other partners at pilot or semi-
industrial scale in a WWTP placed in Galicia, Spain.
We could also generate green hydrogen through electrolysis or by means of dark
fermentation as H2 source for biomethane production.
Additionally, we can design, test and operate a system to separate CH4 and H2 in
destiny after mixing it in the gas grid.
EnergyLab counts on specialized scientific and technological labs to
characterise wastes or by-products from anaerobic digestion (biogas and
digestates) and for biogas production (batch and semi-continuous
reactors). It relies on facilities to study novel biogas cleaning and
upgrading (biomethane) systems at lab and pilot scale, e.g. biological
methanation; accelerated carbonation or by means of photobioreactor
to grow microalgae to capture CO2 and reduce the concentration of
effluent’s nutrients.
Energylab besides counts on semi-industrial scale facilities regarding
biogas upgrading (membranes and biological methanation), green
hydrogen production, biomethane and hydrogen filling station, a private
gas grid etc. Placed in a WWTP.
EnergyLab is a RTO (private and non profit) that has a wide network of
collaborators and can access to several WWTPs, municipal solid waste
plants, industries from the primary sector, livestock industries and other
sources of feedstock.

HORIZON-CL5-2021-D3-03-10: Innovative foundations, floating substructures and connection
systems for floating PV and ocean energy devices

Proposed Approach
Liquid ammonia (LNH3) is considered as "the low hanging fruit" carbon-free hydrogen
alternative fuel, however:
(1) the reactivity of LNH3 is very low and incompatible with the existing combustion devices.
(2) Thermophysical properties of LNH3 are different from fossil fuels, resulting in very unsteady
spray behaviour and catastrophic failures.
I would like to address the mentioned above issues using detailed physical experimentations and
three-dimensional and unsteady numerical simulations.
If you are looking for partners, what type of partners are you looking for?
I am looking for partners with experimental spray combustion capability.
What skills, capabilities, facilities does your
organisation have that will be vital for this project?
Is your organisation academic, SME, big business,
etc (and explain the benefits to this project of
whichever you are)
- High fidelity CFD modelling of reactive and
two-phase flow.
Experience
What previous, relevant, work or track record can you bring to the team?
Include your ability to attract the ‘Big Names’ in the sector (e.g. leading academics, major thought
leaders)

HORIZON-CL5-2021-D3-03-02

Proposed Approach
Within the scope of the call we can provide:
• Test and validate the potential benefits of new circular materials applied to novel
offshore floating PV and/or ocean energy structures and foundations.
• Test and numerically analyze/design novel mooring and anchoring systems whilst
ensuring structural integrity and durability considering harsh sea conditions.
• Test and validate new prototype components and materials used in offshore floating
PV and/or ocean energy devices and verify that they are compatible with and resistant
to the marine environment.
• Research material properties and behaviour in combination with the use of advanced
hydro-elastic computational modelling tools.
•Research, develop and validate advanced computational hydro-elastic modelling tools
for material properties.
The Coastal Engineering , Oceanography and Hydraulics
Laboratory (IHLab Hydro) performs physical model testing in
which phenomena related to behavior of floating structures is
studied. The IHLab Hydro has two directional wave basins, which
are capable of generating currents and wind, three wave-stream
flumes, one flume with a variable slope and one tank for the
study of hypersaline discharges.
The capacities of the facilities, the experience of the team
members and the use of software-numerical modeling and
advanced instrumentation, allows the validation of numerical
models and the testing of specific design and optimization of
structures.
Experience
IHCantabria manages a dedicated research infrastructure devoted to large scale testing
of ocean structures, and in particular, floating structures. More than 30 floating
structures, including floating solar, has been tested during the last 10 years under the
framework of European (H2020, Interreg Atlantic) and national programs, and the
private sector.
The Environmental Hydraulics Institute "IH Cantabria" is a
research center that carries out research, knowledge transfer
and training of specialists in the fields of fresh and saltwater.

HORIZON-CL5-2021-D3-03-02: Next generation of renewable
energy technologies
Proposed Approach
Energy technologies are heterogeneous as the resources they target. Many of them are usually
jointly operated in complex scenarios for the fulfilment of the application requirements. To this aim,
control and optimization technologies are necessary since these target would be non attainable
otherwise.
As experts in control of thermal storages (among the others), we aim at developing advanced
mathematical models and corresponding control and optimization algorithms for their operations
in different applications, such as, e.g., power-2-thermal for the provision of ancillary services to the
grid, district heating, decarbonization of industry, etc.
We look for partners requiring use and improvements of thermal storages, e.g., due to thermal
waste. We have contacts with developers of innovative thermal storage solutions.
