Project Team
The MOJITO project involves 2 partners from 2 European Countries: Italy and Germany. It consists of 2 research organisations: University of Bologna – UNIBO and Fraunhofer Institute. The strong expertise of the research partners on advanced pyrolysis and analysis (Fraunhofer), on calcination developing novel composites between carbonaceous and mineral materials (UNIBO) and on development and application of computational protocols to study the material behaviour and function (UNIBO), combines with the know-how for exploitation strategy (Fraunhofer), and the competences in communication and dissemination (UNIBO).

Team Profile
About: The University of Bologna (UNIBO), founded in 1088, is the oldest university in Western Europe. It has 11 Schools, 33 Departments and around 87,000 students. The University has 7 Interdepartmental Centers dedicated to industrial research contributing to the High Technology Network of Emilia-Romagna; Integrated Research Teams (IRTs) as multidisciplinary research and innovative teams with the aim of coordinating the expertise of the University in a specific research area transversal to several research sectors.
Role in Project: UNIBO is the coordinator of MOJITO and is responsible for the day-to-day management and administration of the project. Alongside its coordination duties, UNIBO will apply its knowledge and skills on the selection and treatment of feedstocks, analyzation and testing of them with the construction of a specific rotatory kiln. UNIBO is the coordinator of communication and Portfolio management.
Project Coordinator as a person: Diego Marazza is a researcher in the Department of Physics. He works on models and systems analysis applied to the treatment, regeneration, reuse and recycling of production waste for innovative products, carbon removal and energy. His recent activities include carbon sequestration capacity through the use of biochar, second-generation carbons, and the study of methods for mapping residual biomass, industrial emissions, and waste. He has also conducted long-term experiments on the agronomic application of biochar and soil quality indicators. He is a member of the Mission Soil Board. Within his organisation, he leads the environmental management research group and is the Managing Director of the Fraunhofer Innovation Platform for Waste Valorisation and Future Energy Supply at the University of Bologna (FIP-WE@UNIBO).
About: Fraunhofer is the largest research organization in Europe. They are the founders of the TCR technology in this project. They have significant expertise in designing and building operational demonstrator plants and carry out research across the whole spectrum of TRL levels. The institute at Sulzbach Rosenberg in led by Dirtector Prof. Matthias Franke. His main areas of work include the development of waste management and resource strategies as well as the energetic and material recycling of waste and residues.
Role in Project: In MOJITO, Fraunhofer will apply its knowledge and skills on the construction of a rotatory kiln and use it for the test. Fraunhofer will participate in every activity of the Mojito Project.
