(Project concluded on November 30, 2020) Nowadays, there is a growing concern about decreasing pollutant emissions from marine vessels in order to minimise the impact on the atmospheric pollution. This means that the naval industry needs to be prepared for
(Project concluded on November 30, 2020) Worldwide, the energy market is going through a phase of intense research and development efforts. In several countries, the energy matrices are undergoing progressive changes, so as to adapt to more stringent environmental laws
(Project concluded on November 30, 2020) Adsorption consists in the molecular adhesion into surfaces by van der Waals forces and covalent bonds. The Adsorbed Natural Gas (ANG) vessels store gas in adsorbents in its interior relying in the adsorption effect.
(Project concluded on November 30, 2020) The project proposes the conceptual studies of three vessels using liquefied natural gas (LNG) as fuel. The study started with the development of a roadmap on the possibilities of using natural gas, specifically liquefied
(Project concluded on November 30, 2020) This project aims the develop combustion systems using diesel and natural gas blends for Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) applications. There is a need for ICE running on natural gas blends for remote power plants
(Project concluded on November 30, 2020) The main objective of this project is to provide the RCGI with state-of-the-art infrastructure for the development of advanced combustion systems. The laser measurement systems together with a single cylinder research engine with optical
(Project concluded on November 30, 2020) The main objective of this project is to develop a burner for Natural Gas based on the concept of the oxy-fuel. In this concept, the oxygen required for the combustion is separated from the
Research Type: Basic Search. Research goal: Development of chemical processes using deep eutectic solvents and nanostructured materials in membranes for capturing CO2 or separating CO2/CH4 and CO2/N2 with better efficiency, more favorable properties (lower viscosity, greater CO2 absorption capacity, lower
Type of Research: Applied Research. Research goal: Development of CLC (Chemical Looping Combustion) and Oxy-fuel combustion processes using strategic fuels for Brazilian energy matrices. Special attention will be given to the compositions and structures of oxygen-carrying particles (in the case
Type of Research: Applied Research. Research goal: Develop design criteria for temperature swing adsorption systems to capture CO2 from biomass combustion gases using optimization tools. Partnership and financing: Shell Brasil. We gratefully acknowledge the support of the RCGI – Research
