Ph.d.-projektet vil undersøge, hvilke immunrelevante gener, der kommer til udtryk i diætforsøg med bakterielt single-cell protein fra Methylococcus capsulatus, samt undersøge hvilke celle-komponenter, der udløser hvilken del af fiskenes immunsystem. Disse komponenter vil blive undersøgt i pathogen challenges i regnbueørred og atlantisk laks som kosttilskud og adjuvanser i injektions- og immersions vacciner. Projektet fokuserer på de vigtigste patogener, der udfordrer akvakulturproduktionen i DK.

En matematisk model er blevet udviklet til at studere omdannelsen af biogas til syntesegas i en fastoxidelektrolysestak (SOE) ved hjælp af en ny driftsmetode, der involverer intern reformering. Resultaterne vil blive brugt til en eksperimentel verifikation samt brugt til en processimulering af et PtX-baseret biomasse-til-methanol-anlægs præstationer under dynamisk drift. Vores foreløbige beregninger indikerer at den nye driftmetode kan reducere SOE CAPEX med op til 50%.

Projektet Grøn-digital Overgang i Cementproduktion bruger digitalisering til at erstatte fossile brændstoffer, forudsige kvaliteten af outputmaterialet, opretholde processtabilitet og output af høj kvalitet, hvilket gør det muligt at anvende alternative råmaterialer med lavere indlejret CO2. Projektet kobler kunstig intelligens med processtyring for at indlede fremtidens cementfabrik, idet der anvendes avanceret digitaliseringsteknologi til at behandle data for at minimere miljøpåvirkningen.

Increased digitalisation is key to combatting climate change, with potentially 10-60% reductions of energy consumption and CO2 emissions. The challenge to harvesting these benefits is the state of digital technologies today, where hard physical limits of miniaturisation of electronic chips have been met. This in turn has brought with it a saturation of serial data speeds, and a looming explosion in overall internet energy consumption. It is thus increasingly urgent to develop a new greener internet. So, to ensure the essential future digitalisation, the solution is to build a better critical communications infrastructure that provides higher data capacities, offers greater accessibility, supports critical functions, ensures secure online interactions, and is more energy-efficient. To bring these features to the whole network infrastructure, GreenCOM is structured as an innovation platform forming an ecosystem of companies, universities, industrial associations and with direct links to authorities. GreenCOM will develop 30 specific technologies supporting the overall network, ranging from physical chips and laser sources, over network protocols, to internet services and a green ICT certificate. 91% of the technologies are tech transfer, with industrial partners ready to implement them. GreenCOM expects to reduce the energy consumption in DK with about 11%, and increase revenue for partners with 358 MDKK, and generate 183 FTE jobs whilst doing so.
