In Turkey, funding is available for several partners for Transnational Access in BRISK, including the gasification infrastructure at TUBITAK Marmara Research Center. The final deadline for applications is March 15, 2015.
TUBITAK Marmara Research Centre (MRC) Energy Institute conducts applied research on advanced energy technologies; namely pyrolysis, gasification and combustion of solid fuels and syngas utilization. The institute specifically has expertise on biomass characterization, gasification and biomass to liquids technologies.
Within the BRISK project TUBITAK contributes to the development of new methodologies for the characterization of 2nd generation biofuels, focusing on Fischer-Tropsch (FT) liquids and attrition phenomena on catalysts in slurry bed reactors. Advanced sulfur and tar measurement methods in thermochemical biomass conversion are the other areas that the institute is involved with. The gasification infrastructure at TUBITAK MRC is open to Transnational Access activities within the BRISK project.
