System Integration

The tasks in the "System Integration" subproject include:

• Operating parts of the Carbon2Chem® infrastructure, consisting of the Carbon2Chem® laboratory in Oberhausen, where initial model investigations are carried out
• Developing and applying analytical methods
• Overall simulation, including expansion and completion of the model library created in the first two phases, as well as development and integration of new submodels and process concepts
• Operating the project-internal exchange platform, Carbon2Chem® Dataspace
• Consolidation of the results of the other subprojects
• Coordinating the specialist communities within the project to enable interdisciplinary collaboration and contribute significantly to the project results

The goal of Phase III is the further expansion and strengthening of the Carbon2Chem® structure and cooperation to intensify integration and knowledge transfer between subprojects and stakeholders. In addition, the creation of so-called "CCU ecosystems" is intended to support the implementation of research results.

Furthermore, to align with the holistic system approach, possible technological transformation paths will be developed and evaluated based on technical, ecological, economic, and macroeconomic criteria. These methods will be based on those developed in Phases I and II, particularly simulation, as well as on experimental tests that have already been carried out.
