Projects

PNO Consultants participates as a partner in over 70 innovation projects funded by the European Union. We offer various services within these projects, such as stakeholder analyses, market analyses, business or exploitation plan development and dissemination strategies. Each year, we attract over 200 million Euro in public funding for ground-breaking innovation projects. Highlighted here are just a few of the projects we are partnered with. Want to know more?

To enable large scale manufacturing of Solid-state batteries, project PULSELiON sets out new pulsed laser deposition based technologies for solid-state battery manufacturing.
The FIREFLY project supports the sustainable evolution of the catalyst-based chemical industry towards its electrification and reduced third-party dependence on metals and fossil energy.
The EU-funded ACHIEF project proposes innovative high-performance materials for Energy Intensive Industries to improve their energy performance
Building up strategic reserves of Lithium to ensure the green and digital transformation of the European economy
The HySTrAm project will facilitate the transformation of hydrogen into ammonia thereby contributing to the decarbonisation of the energy sector.
The REEPRODUCE project will establish for the first time a sustainable and complete European REEs-based permanent magnets recycling value chain at industrial scale.
The aim of the RHINOCEROS project is to develop economically and environmentally viable routes for re-using and recycling end-of-life LIBs from electric vehicles and stationary energy storage.
MAREWIND will provide advanced durable materials and recyclable solutions which reduce materials use contributing to the European Union’s climate goals.
HyPErFarm proposes the use of combined agrivoltaic systems that allow food production to continue on land used by PV parks. The project aims to optimise viable agrivoltaic business models and test the marketability of the solution.
The ION4RAW project develops a novel and sustainable ionometallurgical process to resource- and cost-effectively recovery of mainly by-products from primary sources.
LIFE PlasPLUS revisits the concept of recycling with its holistic approach to simultaneously close the loop for two traditionally siloed material value chains, plastics and minerals.
PEACOC aims to solve the current challenges that limit the recovery of Precious Metals, while exploiting the vast potential of EU secondary resources.
SCRREEN2 brings expert advice in support of decision-making at the EU level covering all the raw materials and their value chains screened in the CRMs 2020 assessment.
SmartSPIN presents an innovative business model to unleash the energy efficiency and flexibility potential in the commercial buildings.
The EU-funded TARANTULA project aims to recover refractory metals from low-grade waste by developing a suite of cost-effective, scalable and eco-friendly metallurgical processes.
VIPERLAB aims to accelerate the perovskite PV development in Europe by fostering collaborations and facilitating access to the best EU-based perovskite research infrastructures.
The CHESTER project addresses the efficient energy usage in current day Europe. The project aims to build an innovative energy storage and management system for energy from renewable sources.
AgriChemWhey seeks to build a first-of-a kind, industrial-scale bio-refinery which will take by-products from the dairy processing industry and convert them into cost competitive, sustainable lactic acid.
CROCODILE aims to drastically reduce the supply risk of cobalt for the European industries by increasing the efficiency of recovery processes for cobalt and other relevant materials.
The GaNonCMOS project aims to bring GaN power electronic materials, devices and systems to the next level of maturity by providing the most densely integrated materials to date.
The PLATIRUS project aims at reducing the 20 tonnes deficit in platinum-group materials (PGMs) by developing new processes for recovery and raw material production.
The GASVESSEL project opens up new possibilities to exploit stranded, associated and flared gas where this is currently economically not viable and creates new cost-efficient gas transport solutions.
The REE4EU project developed, validated and demonstrated in 2 industrially relevant Pilots an innovative Rare Earth Alloys (REA) production route from permanent magnets PM and Ni metal hydride (NiMH) Battery waste.
