The aim of the project is to develop innovative technologies: 2D (prefabricated technology) and 3D (modular technology) of the construction of a single-family and multi-family buildings. These new technologies will allow to construct cost-effective buildings with a positive or zero energy balance, a low carbon footprint due to the use of recycled materials and an efficient use of rainwater for utility purposes. The direct result of the project will constitute 3 demonstration buildings: a single-family building, a multi-family building and a building for elderly people. 

The project objective is to develop an agricultural biogas plant technology capable for using a wide range of waste substrates. The technology is expected to be highly efficient, odourless and energy self-sufficient. The main product of such biogas plant will be high-quality biomethane, which could be fed into the gas distribution network, or compressed and then used for transportation purposes. What is more, the post-fermented mass will be suitable for agriculture and horticulture uses as an organic fertilizer. As a technology demonstrator, a full-scale biometan treatment plant will be constructed.

The aim of the project is to develop an innovative technology of wastewater treatment, ensuring the renewal and recovery of water and its further use in agriculture, industry or urban areas. The technology will allow to recover biogenic elements contained in wastewater, in accordance with the principles of a circular economy, while removing micro-pollutants from wastewater, such as pharmaceuticals, pesticides, heavy metals and microplastics as well. In addition, the developed technology will ensure effective management of the sewage sludge in agriculture and in urban areas. As a technology demonstrator, a full-scale sewage treatment plant will be constructed.

The Project objective is to develop an innovative solution enabling the modernization of the existing domestic heating systems based on fossil fuels. The developed solution will constitute a cost and energy efficient system covering the production, processing and storage of energy for heating purposes with the use of renewable energy sources. It will enable repeated adaptation in various housing estates. For the purposes of the demonstration, the developed heating system will be established as the confirmation of market feasibility of a system, which supplies heat from renewable sources with a minimum share of 80% RES, maintaining an acceptable price for customers.

The aim of the project is to develop an innovative solution for a transformation of the existing domestic heating systems basing on fossil fuels into complex system of generating and storing energy for heating purposes combined with cogeneration basing on renewable energy sources. The developed system will allow to stabilize and self-balance the local power system.
For the purposes of the demonstration a combined heat and power plant will be constructed in the project as a confirmation of its feasibility study as a system which supplies heat and electricity from renewable sources with a minimum share of 80% RES, while maintaining an acceptable price for customers. 

The aim of the project is to develop a technology of innovative galvanic cells (batteries) and an electric power storage system for household and industrial applications. The developed galvanic cells will be recyclable and will ensure high energy density, long battery life-cycle, and moreover, their production will be based as much as possible on domestic raw materials. The systems based on developed galvanic cells will ensure high efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the power electricity storage. For a technology demonstration two products will be constructed and presented in the project: a demonstration battery and a demonstration electric power storage system. 

The Project objective is to develop innovative storage systems (both heat and cold storage) for household and industrial applications. The systems will be based on effective technologies of periodic storage of maximal obtainable energy at a time supplied from renewable energy sources and the distribution of the energy according to the needs of the building. The developed systems will be demonstrated in two project streams: in a single-family building and in an office building. The systems will be highly efficient, ensuring minimal energy losses and high stability over time. Moreover, they will be optimized for every specific application. Such systems will lead to the development of technologies supporting zero-emission buildings and industry due to the possibility of periodic (daily, weekly, seasonal) energy storage.

The objective of the project is to develop innovative micro-retention system for the storage, conditioning and usage of rainwater. The developed system will lead to the reduction of water usage from the water supply network through efficient rainwater management. At the same time, this will lead to the reduction of sewage supply to the sewage network. The developed solutions will be demonstrated in a real application. The project results will have a profound impact on the storage and retention of torrential rains and will help to minimize the drought and flood effects in Poland. 

The aim of the project is to develop innovative HVAC systems for existing residential buildings and schools. The developed solution will ensure regulation of the supply air temperature and high air quality by reducing the level of CO2 concentration and microbiological pollutants, filtration of PM2.5 and PM10 dust pollutants. Furthermore, these innovative systems will allow to remove an excessive moisture and heat. The developed systems will be implemented during the project in an existing residential building and school for demonstration purposes.
