Politecnico Milano

Politecnico di Milano (POLIMI) is a public scientific-technological university that trains engineers, architects, and industrial designers. It has always focused on the quality and innovation of its teaching and research, developing relationships with business and the productive world through experimental research and technological transfer. Its Department of Energy is involved in the GAMMA project. It considers the energy world in its complexity and continuous evolution. From this Department, the Group for Energy COnversion Systems (GECOS) is involved in GAMMA. It is engaged in research activities covering the spectrum of advanced technologies for electrical, mechanical, and chemical energy conversion, ranging from small-scale applications to large power stations. The research analyses various aspects of power generation related to energy efficiency, economics, system optimization, and environmental impact.

In GAMMA, the central role of POLIMI is to compute the technologies’s practical advantages in terms of emissions estimated in the life cycle of the project’s technologies and to assess the different possible strategies that can be adopted with the different fuels that are applied. A well-to-wake analysis with a Life Cycle Assessment approach will be carried out, starting from the processes to produce bio-methanol and green-ammonia and considering all the processes to feed the vessel.
