- START Newsletter: Recover-Reform-Reuse for a Sustainable Future, Issue 2Publication . Neves, Filipe; Vicenzi, BrunoABSTRACT: Welcome to the second issue of the START project Newsletter! In this issue, we will share with you some highlights from our recent events and activities, and you will learn more about START with STARTY, our friendly robot that helps us explain the project scope. In addition, we have two technical pills for you: one related to the geology of tetrahedrites (the main mineral used in START) and another describing the use of powder technology for processing tetrahedrites into high-performance thermoelectric materials. Finally, we will take you on a tour around two of our consortium partners: TEGnology (from Denmark) and RGS Development (from the Netherlands), both small enterprises that develop innovative thermoelectric solutions for different sectors.
- START Newsletter: Recover-Reform-Reuse for a Sustainable Future, Issue 4Publication . Neves, Filipe; Vicenzi, BrunoABSTRACT: We are almost halfway through the project activities and what a journey this has been! The advances we have made together are nothing short of remarkable. This edition of our Newsletter is a testament to our collective dedication and the exciting progress we’ve achieved. The completion of our first Periodic Report marks a significant milestone, and the advancements in tetrahedrite mineral-based thermoelectric materials are not just promising—they’re a leap towards a sustainable future. We’re excited to share updates on our ongoing activities, our synergistic collaborations with the EHRASE cluster and THERMOS project, and insightful technical information on thermoelectric generators. But that’s not all, join us on the Consortium Tour, where this time SGUDS and IGME-CSIC take centre stage. Plus, don’t miss the insightful interview with Doug Crane from our Scientific Advisory Board, whose expertise enriches our understanding of thermoelectrics. This edition also features the fascinating adventures of Starty, exploring the practical uses of thermoelectric devices in a narrative that’s both educational and engaging. Looking ahead, we eagerly anticipate your visit to the START booth at the upcoming 40th International and 20th European Thermoelectric Conference, ICT/ECT 2024, in Krakow. We hope this Newsletter serves not only as a source of information but also as an inspiration for continued excellence. Stay connected with us for more exciting updates from START on our website and social media channels.
- The START Project: Creating a sustainable supply chain for green energy harvesting products by Powder MetallurgyPublication . Neves, Filipe; Vicenzi, Bruno; Bianchi, Alvise; Rosinski, M.ABSTRACT: Sustainable Energy Harvesting Systems Based on Innovative Mine Waste Recycling (START) is an Innovation Action project co-funded by the EU and its Horizon Europe programme. Using an advanced powder production and consolidation process, the project’s aim is to create a sustainable supply chain for green energy harvesting products by transforming sulphide materials from mining waste into sustainable high-added-value Powder Metallurgy components for tellurium-free thermoelectric (TE) devices. Here, the consortium members offer a comprehensive summary of START’s background, the innovative workflow developed, and its potential impact.
- The START project: Transforming mining waste into waste heat recovery materialsPublication . Neves, Filipe; Vicenzi, BrunoABSTRACT: The START project aims to produce thermoelectric devices for waste heat recovery applications from secondary mineral resources (mining waste).
