Project

TANTUM ERGO is a 30-month research and innovation project co-funded by the Emilia-Romagna Region through resources from the ERDF RP 2021-2027 program. 

The project aims to develop enabling technologies to increase the sustainability of production and maintenance of components for offshore renewable energy generation, particularly for wind power. 

TANTUM ERGO addresses the needs of the green transition through sustainable innovation in systems for the production, transmission, and management of energy from renewable sources. Furthermore, TANTUM ERGO aims to develop fully recyclable components for offshore wind turbine blades, in line with circular economy principles. 

Specifically, TANTUM ERGO intends to develop: Special finishing treatments to enhance the overall performance of the Renewable Energy Source production system (e.g., reduce friction, aging in marine environments, erosion, and overall weight reduction). 

Reduction of production times and costs, in line with circular economy principles. 

Development of modular refractory heating elements. 

End-of-life product analysis to identify the most suitable solutions for material recycling.

TANTUM ERGO Specific Objectives

TANTUM ERGO addresses the specific needs of component manufacturers for Renewable Energy Source production by analyzing various fibers, resins, and foams for recyclable composites, comparing costs, performance, and environmental benefits (WP1). 

The analyzed components will be combined to develop sandwich composites using hot pressing (WP2), applying a sector-specific method traditionally foreign to this field. Additionally, mechanical data crucial for component and specimen production will be extracted. The components will then undergo characterization and resistance testing under adverse environmental conditions (WP3). Finally, the surface and production characteristics of the component will be investigated by activating a pilot line (WP4).

Role of
Certimac

Certimac will be responsible for the mechanical and thermophysical characterization of the components and processes, analyzing and validating their performance in terms of sustainability. 

Certimac will also handle the qualification and accelerated aging tests of the materials, supporting ENEA in the activation of the pilot line and the development of the necessary technologies and materials.

Expected outcomes

The project aims to demonstrate the technology in an industrial environment (TRL6) and the wind turbine blade production process (TRL7).
