Università Campus Bio-Medico di Roma

ABOUT PARTNER
UNIVERSITÀ CAMPUS BIO-MEDICO DI ROMA

Campus Bio-Medico University of Rome (UCBM) is a young, yet rapidly developing, private academic institution, devoted to undergraduate and postgraduate education, advanced research and provision of high-quality healthcare services. Established in 1992, today the University runs the School of Medicine and Surgery, the School of Engineering (degree in “Industrial Engineering”, “Biomedical Engineering”, “Chemical Engineering for the Sustainable Development”), and PhD in “Integrated Biomedical Sciences and Bioetics” and “Science and Engineering for Humans and the Environment”. The University hosts 40+ multidisciplinary Research Units.

In Italy, UCBM has been systematically top-ranked for the quality of the education provided to a selected group of students. A maximum of about 120 students per year per course are admitted to undergraduate programs after an open, public competition typically joined by hundreds to thousands of candidates.

The Research Unit of “Process Engineering” is focused on the development and optimization of new technologies in the following sectors: energy, hydrogen generation, Carbon Capture and Storage, energy thermal storage.

PARTNER RESPONSIBILITY
WP5 - CARBON FOOTPRINT ANALYSIS

Numerical methods will be used to assess the carbon storage / utilization processes based on the following methodology:

• simulation of the process schemes by software, made together with a sensitivity analysis, comparing the architectures proposed and quantifying the operating condition optimal sets to maximize the performance and the energy efficiency,
• Life Cycle Assessment enabling the quantitative determination of carbon footprints and their derivation,
• exegetics efficiency analysis, aimed to define the energy penalty for each process and where the efforts have to be devoted to improve the global efficiency.
