The Flexby Consortium

IDENER is an interdisciplinary company developing intricate AI applications for engineering and science. They are the Flexby Project Coordinators and will lead the development of the digital tools that will enhance the technical and cost efficiency of the process.

Algae for Future is a biotechnology company based in Portugal with over 20 years of accumulated experience in algae research and development, and production up to industrial scale. A4f will lead the research directed at the identification and characterisation of the microalgae, its cultivation in wastewater, and the wastewater treatment and microalgae production at TRL5.

CSIC-INCAR is the Carbon Science and Technology Institute which forms part of the Spanish Council for Scientific Research. Their main task in the Flexby project is to test the microwave pyrolysis technology, compare the results with conventional pyrolysis heating, and test and validate the biochar produced from the process. 

Universidad de Sevilla, founded in the 16th century, is a prestigious educational institution with over 70,000 students. They will lead the research focused on the production of advanced biofuels through catalysis design and testing, advanced liquid biofuel and bio-hydrogen production, and the testing of the produced biofuels in fuel cells.

Fricke and Mallah are a leading developer of modern and sustainable solutions in microwave technology. In Flexby, they will be working closely with CSIC-INCAR on the design of the microwave pyrolysis system.

Politecnico di Milano, founded in 1863 with over 45,000 students, is a scientific and technological university specialising in training engineers, architects, and industrial designers. Politercnico di Milano will lead the research into the optimisation and up-scaling of the Flexby technologies, primarily by performing detailed process simulations.

GREENDELTA are sustainability consultants and advisors who develop their own open-source software, databases and methods, and apply these to perform sustainability, lifecycle, environmental, lifecycle costing and social lifecycle assessments. GREENDELTA will be leading the sustainability assessment for the Flexby project. 

GALP are a Portuguese based supplier of oil, natural gas, electricity, biofuels, and environmental products. Their primary role in the project will be to perform a suitability assessment of the produced biofuel. 

CO2 Value Europe are a non-profit association representing the Carbon Capture and Utilisation community in Europe. The Association cultivates an extensive network of organisations and individuals who collectively endorse the vision that Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) technologies are essential for the European Union to achieve its climate objectives.  CVE will lead the clustering activities of the project. 

KNEIA are experts in scientific communication, research results valorisation and open science and will lead Flexby´s communication, dissemination and exploitation actions.
