The ZeroEPowerGen project, led by the UK-based company, PCM Products Ltd., in partnership with Nigeria's Rubitec Ltd, and the University of Nottingham, marks a significant advancement in zero-emission power generation technology. This innovative project leverages solar energy to enhance the Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) system, integrating it with ground-br...

In Nigeria, the persistent electricity shortage and insufficient power supply have always been a longstanding challenge. More than 50 million rural and 44 million urban Nigerians do not have enough electricity and therefore do not have access to cooling/air conditioning systems under an annual average temperature ranging from 32.2°C to 40.6°C. Access to c...

Worldwide Data centers (DC) are estimated to account for 1 to 2% of electricity usage. Regarding the European context, it is expected that data centres will account for 98.5 TWh/year in 2030. So it is evident that there is an important potential to recover waste heat from the cooling processes of DCs. The THUNDER project aims to overcome existing barriers...

The aim of BIOBUILD project is to develop and demonstrate fully bio-based building materials with thermal storage function that can replace high environmental footprint products. Our solution demonstrates functional incorporation of bio-based phase change materials (bioPCMs) into solid wood and wood fibres bound by plant oil resins, lignin, or fungal myce...

Water scarcity is a worldwide issue that affects 1/3 of the world's population. This project will focus on alleviating water shortage issues in regions where there is a lack of access to water such as Sub-Saharan Africa and particularly in Ethiopia and Sudan, which represent two typical climates on the African continent. In both countries, the total numbe...

NHS staff, health and care workers have been working hard to save patients' lives suffering from the COVID-19\. These front-line workers are required to wear, for very long periods, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) such as masks, aprons and gloves to protect themselves to prevent exposure to virus-carrying droplets or aerosols from infected patients. H...

Transmission of COVID-19 occurs through direct, indirect, or close contact with infected people through infected secretions or their respiratory droplets. This can be limited with face masks. Face coverings are now recommended where appropriate social distancing could be difficult to maintain. The protection of frontline health workers is paramount and pe...

The proposed project aims to develop an innovative BeeSave device to kill Varroa mites in beehives. The device uses a phase change material (PCM) pack. Research shows that Varroa mites can be killed during all development stages if they are exposed to temperatures ranging between 40°C to 47°C for ~ 150 minutes. These temperatures are safely tolerated by h...

Guangdong is a region with high solar irradiance, making it an ideal location to benefit from solar-based systems to provide domestic hot water (DHW). Despite this, much of the region still relies on fossil fuels, primarily natural gas, to provide its DHW; this not only contributes to pollution in cities, but also causes energy access issues in rural area...
