BIORECOVER: DEVELOPMENT OF AN INNOVATIVE SUSTAINABLE STRATEGY FOR SELECTIVE BIORECOVER OF CRITICAL RAW MATERIALS FROM PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SOURCES
The objective of BIORECOVER is the R&D of a new sustainable & safe process, essentially based on biotechnology, for selective extraction of a range of Critical Raw Materials, from relevant unexploited secondary & primary sources: Rare Earths from Bauxite Residue, Magnesium from Mg wastes of low grade minerals and calcination by products and Platinum Group Metals from flotation tailings and PGM slags, dusts and press cake.


AMPECS
The main objective of AMPECS project is focused on the development of a new additive manufacturing (AM) process for printing electronics on ceramics substrates, enabling the chance to build up 3D end use solid parts with electronics embedded in its structure. This new process might allow the possibility to build up and design smaller and more efficiently devices through the design advantages that 3D printing offers. In order to achieve this goal the AM process designed will handle 5-axis instead of 3-axis, which is the commonly configuration of AM processes

CELL3DITOR
A Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) is a ceramic-based multilayer device that involves costly and time-consuming multi-step manufacturing processes including casting, screen printing, start-up, shaping, and several thermal treatments. In addition, these cells are manually assembled into piles resulting in additional steps for bonding and sealing, making product standardization and quality control difficult. Since current processing of ceramics has strong shape limitations and an extremely complex design for manufacturing (more than 100 steps), industrially manufactured cells and SOFC cells are expensive and have low flexibility and long time to market. The main objective of the Cell3Ditor project is to develop a 3D printing technology for the industrial production of SOFC batteries, covering research and innovation at all stages of the industrial value chain (inks formulation, 3D printer development, ceramic consolidation and system integration). FAE participates as partner developing the process of consolidation of ceramics and contributing with its experience in the manufacture of cells for fuel cells.

RIS3CAT REFER
The REFER project aims to improve the available energy alternatives for buildings, providing them with flexibility with several options to face the generation of renewable energy and energy efficiency. Keeping in mind that the great challenge of society is to improve the energy efficiency of existing buildings more than in new buildings, whom is easier to incorporate new technologies and knowledge, the REFER project focuses on the energetic and flexible rehabilitation of residential and tertiary buildings through the installation of solar panels and fuel cells, where FAE is involved in the design and production of fuel cells.
The scope of the project includes participation in Smart Grids, the use of "Low Carbon Technology" and energy efficiency, which are the three pillars of the community.

SCAPE-SOFC
The goal of the project is to develop a new solid oxide fuel cell technology that will be able to feed auxiliary power units (APU) for the automotive sector. In particular, the project aims to develop an industrial scale manufacturing process of 100Wel stacks based on SOFC cells, which should be capable of operating at intermediate temperatures (T = 700-800°C) while being fed with H2 or CH4.

NHIBRID
The project’s objective is the development and implementation of a hybrid additive technology which will allow for a novel electronic device manufacturing process. Such process is intended to be based on a single equipment unit and to combine 3D printing - through use of DLP (Digital Light Processing) of ceramic material – with 2D inkjet printing, wherein the ink comprises the drivers circuitry components necessary for the electronic component to be developed.

FRACTAL
Development based on an Advanced Systems Spanish Technology for the Prototyping and Manufacturing of Strategic Components by means of Laser Assisted Powder Sintering.
The main objective of the project is to generate new AM forms which are oriented to large size components. Currently existing solutions are not covering this range of applications due to size, processing time and/or cost issues. Fractal seeks to combine both the opportunity to generate variable spots - by means of defined energy densities - and a novel solution powder deposition. Thereby, productivity, efficiency and processing time ratios are improved substantially.
