Details
Project`s acronym: CONVERGE
Project funding type: EU
Project funding source: H2020
Project coordinator: POLITECNICO DI MILANO
Coordinator location: Italy
Coordinator email / Contact form: giampaolo.manzolini@polimi.it
Project status: Finished
Total budget: € 5 087 031,25
Additional info
The CONVERGE project will demonstrate 5 unit operations in 3 grouped processing steps:
- CCT: Catalytic Cracking of Tars
- BITS, also known as BTX-scrubber
- SER: Sorption-Enhanced Reforming
- EHC: Electrochemical Hydrogen Compression
- EMM: Enhanced Methanol Membrane
Each unit can be implemented independently at an existing biodiesel facility, providing immediate performance and energy efficiency improvements. Moreover, the units when used together have synergies that allow further efficiency gains.

Assessment
This section contains a brief assessment of the FEFTS described.
There are 3 basic categories: General, Environmental and Socioeconomic assessment.
The purpose of this assessment is to give a quick overview to the potential FEFTS user of its application benefits.
For each question, the Likert scale is used with the following possible answers:
Strongly disagree, Disagree, Neither agree nor disagree (Neutral)/non applicable, Agree, Strongly agree
General
This FEFTS contributes to improve the energy profiles of farming systems:Environmental
The application of this FEFTS contributes to GHG emissions reduction:Socioeconomic
The application of this FEFTS contributes to cost reductions of farming systems:Keep in mind that this assessment is subjective, based on publicly available information.
All registered users are asked to evaluate each FEFTS and when an adequate number of reviews is gathered the results depicted here are updated. Each review is screened in order to avoid malicious practices.
FEFTS providers who do not agree with the assessment results, can send their inquiry to info@agrofossilfree.eu and a direct action based on their petition will be taken.
