[Information accessed: 06-11-2008 15:29:03 on www.fct.mctes.pt] [FCT - Avaliação de Laboratórios Associados 2008 | Form locked: False] Research Line Information (RL-MECH-750009-137) Designation: Sustainable Technologies and Environmental Systems Principal Investigator: Paulo Manuel Cadete Ferrao Research Area: Mechanical Engineering General Objectives: The objective of the Sustainable Technologies and Environmental Systems area were defined as to undertake multidisciplinary research aiming at developing and evaluating emerging and alternative complex engineering systems promoting sustainability, namely in terms of the needs to secure socio-economic development and the quality of the environment, creating a more prosperous and sustainable society. Enabling methods were to be developed and implemented under a systems view, comprising the use and environmental implications of materials, energy, and products in modern societies. To achieve these objectives, research and development activities include the analysis of advanced systems, but also the analysis of the global carbon bio-geochemical cycle and of materials flows in the economy, including product and material life cycle management through reuse, remanufacturing, and recycling. The main research areas were defined as a) Eco-design for sustainability in industry and domestic applications; b) advanced integrated combustion and thermal systems; c) total life-cycle energy chain and environmental impact assessment; d) carbon cycle; e) natural, resource-forming systems; f) flows of materials in the economy from raw -materials extraction to final integration in the natural environment; g) techno-economic assessment, technological change and systems integration. Major Achievements: All the objectives defined for the period of evaluation were accomplished and in general, its impact to society was far more relevant than anticipated. In this context, ISR has been able to: 1) Development of the "National policy for Residues Management" in a close cooperation with the Ministry of the Environment, 2) Design and support the implementation of all the new and innovative companies for organizing products end-of-life take back and recycling in Portugal during this period, which resulted in new business opportunities related with the environment 3) Cretae the IST Design Studio, which aimed at strengthening research and education in engineering design to improve manufacturing competitiveness and innovation. 4)Develop major methodologies and tools that bring together economy and environment in the assessment and the design of new products (Eco-design tools, in particular a new software) and new policies (e.g.: National Integrated framework for Residues Management, Hybrid Economic Input-Output-Life Cycle Assessment or Life Cycle Activity Analysis). 5) Support entrepreneurial initiatives in Industrial Ecology in Portugal, such as the design of a variety of new companies aimed at recycling and further processing end-of-life products or the design and implementation of an Eco-Industrial park at Chamusca. 6)Create a network for sustainability in Portuguese agriculture, comprising close to 100 farmers, occupying 0.7% of Portugal, and close to 30 partners, including universities, NGOs and private firms. 7)Obtain significant results on carbon and water dynamics in forests and grasslands (Granier et al., 2007, Luyssaert, 2007, Pereira et al. 2007). 8) Provide support to Portuguese public policy on the use of natural carbon sinks.
