PREMiERE Workshop
- CO2 Plasmas: a fRIendly MEdium for Renewable Energy
PREMiERE Workshop
The Workshop of project PREMiERE - CO2 Plasmas: a fRIendly MEdium for Renewable Energy will take place in Ericeira, Portugal, on 23 and 24 November 2018. Organised by the N-PRiME group of Instituto de Plasmas e Fusão Nuclear (IPFN) and Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), Portugal, this workshop covers all the aspects of plasma conversion of CO2.
PREMiERE is an FCT (Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology) funded project involving researchers from IPFN/IST, DIFFER (Dutch Institute for Fundamental Energy Research), LPP (Laboratoire de Physique des Plasmas, Ecole Polytechnique, France), TU/e (Technische Universiteit Eindhoven, The Netherlands), University of Antwerp (Belgium) and UMons (Université de Mons, Belgium).

Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia
- Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia is the Portuguese public agency that supports science, technology and innovation, in all scientific domains, under responsibility of the Ministry for Science, Technology and Higher Education. FCT was founded in 1997, succeeding the Junta Nacional de Investigação Científica e Tecnológica (JNICT). Since March 2012, FCT has coordinated public policies for the Information and Knowledge Society in Portugal, after the integration of the Knowledge Society Agency-UMIC. In October 2013, FCT took over the attributions and responsibilities of the Fundação para a Computação Científica Nacional (FCCN), [Foundation for National Scientific Computation].

Instituto de Plasmas e Fusão Nuclear
- The researchers involved in this proposal are the members of the N-PRiME Group of Instituto de Plasmas e Fusão Nuclear, an Associate Laboratory of FCT (Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology) and the Portuguese research unit managing the Eurofusion Contract. The research activities are focussed on the study of non-equilibrium reactive plasmas created from different gas mixtures, adopting state-of-the-art kinetic schemes, both in volume and in interaction with surfaces, and considering the multi-dimensional transport of species and radiation, also under high-speed flow regimes. The models developed for reactive plasmas have been successfully implemented in new computational platforms and applied to continuous and pulsed dc discharges, as well as to microwave and radiofrequency plasma sources. N-PRiME hosts the European Shock-Tube for High Enthalpy Research (ESTHER), the sole Portuguese Space facility for the planning of planetary exploration missions.

Instituto Superior Técnico
- Instituto Superior Técnico is the largest and most reputed school of Engineering, Science and Technology in Portugal. Since its creation in 1911, IST’s mission is to contribute to the development of society by providing top quality higher education, at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, as well as developing Research, Development and Innovation (RD&I) activities that meet the highest international standards.

Dutch Institute for Fundamental Energy Research
- NWO-I (DIFFER), the Dutch Institute for Fundamental Energy Research, is one of three research institutes of the foundation for Fundamental Research on Matter (FOM). FOM resides under (and is currently becoming part of) the Netherlands Scientific Research (NWO) organization, which is funded by the Dutch Ministry of Science, Culture and Education (OC&W). The mission of NWO-I is to perform excellent research in the fields of Nuclear Fusion and Solar Fuels in partnership with academia and Industry and to fulfil a coordinating & facilitating role in national fundamental energy research. The NWO-I laboratory comprises high quality experimental facilities and expertise enabling in-house Solar Fuel research.

Laboratoire de Physique des Plasmas, Ecole Polytechnique, France
- Laboratoire de physique des plasmas (LPP, UMR7648), a Joint Research Unit with Ecole Polytechnique, Observatoire de Paris, Université Paris Sud and Université Pierre et Marie Curie. LPP has a considerable experience in developing, characterizing and modeling plasma sources, especially for non thermal plasmas that are studied for space propulsion, photovoltaic cells, activated combustion, indoor air treatment and CO2 recycling.

Technische Universiteit Eindhoven
- The groups EPG and PMP at Technische Universiteit Eindhoven are at the centre of ‘low temperature’ plasma physics research in The Netherlands. Collaborations exist with several universities, e.g. Delft and Nijmegen, and the Dutch Institute For Fundamental Energy Research (DIFFER) on plasma technologies for renewable energy production and storage. The groups are key partner in EUV production, EUV plasmas, plasma deposition and thin-film etching in several industrial projects (involving Solliance, InnoPhysics, ASML) and a core partner in the Dutch initiative on the topic of plasmas for medicine. The groups are well equipped and have longstanding expertise in plasma processing and plasma diagnostics.
The groups develop gas phase diagnostics that can be used (and are available for the project) to study the kinetics and dynamics of processing plasmas. Diagnostics that are successfully employed in plasma processing studies are e.g. polarimetry, ns-imaging, Thomson and Raman scattering, laser induced fluorescence, cavity ring-down absorption and time-resolved Fourier Transform spectroscopy.
