Consortium Materials Technology for Thermal Energy Processes, KME – Reporting Completed

KME, Konsortium Materialteknik för Termiska Energiprocesser, was at the forefront of developing material technology to create maximum efficiency for energy conversion of renewable fuels and waste. KME had its sights firmly set on continuing to raise the efficiency of long-term sustainable energy as well as ensuring international industrial competitiveness.

Because the challenge of implementing environmentally sustainable energy is both complex and vital, KME consortium was financed by the Swedish Energy Agency together with stakeholders from the energy industry, manufacturers of systems and components for energy conversion, and material producers.

The programme was operated and managed by Energiforsk.

The projects covered a wide range of research areas, such as the mechanical behaviour and corrosion of various materials, in a high temperature environment. Other research included investigating and understanding chemical and composite materials and redesigning components.
