Start up company
  • TEC Ltd. (TOC d.o.o.) established on the
    01.01.2008
  • Market oriented company- private institute for
    technological, logistic and environmental RD
  • Transfer of basic research on technological and
    industrial levels networking
  • Company for fuels and biofuels development and
    quality assurance
  • The plan is to become within the next 5 years one
    of the leading RD institute for environmental
    and green logistics in Southern and Central
    Europe

COMPANY GOALS..
Financing posibilities (international and local
funds, private investors, risk capital).

CIP Eco Innovation An innovative idea..
  • An innovative idea first requirement (new
    green production processes, new products or
    services and/or management and business
    methods..)
  • TEC Ltd. has developed a technology which allows
    to recycle the remaining from the paper industry
    (PMS) into a highly efficient absorbent material
    capable to clean oil and chemical spills in ports
    and marinas (HAWSC)
  • Ports and marinas needs an ecological, cheap and
    environmental friendly absorbent for water
    surface cleaning
  • Remaining from the paper industry (Paper Mill
    sludge - PMS) represent a considerable
    environmental burden (EU cca 4.300.000
    tones/year)
  • Cross - sectoral double environmental and
    economic benefit

5
beyond the testing phase..
6
..successfully demonstrated and preferably beyond
pilot phase..
7
.. .which supports the achievement of EU
environmental policies..
  • Decreasing greenhouse emissions
  • Decreasing of quantity of PMS (landfilling and
    incineration of raw PMS)
  • Decreasing of production of synthetic absorbents
    (PMS recycling and replacing the synthetic
    material with natural one)
  • High efficiency incineration of used HAWSC
    (higher calorific value of used HAWSC)
  • After incineration new kind of inorganic
    (meta-caolin) absorbent is produced (Longer LCA)

8
ex. decreasing of GHGs, recycling of waste,
longer LCA
9
..with potential for market replication and
positive economic impact on EU enterprises..
  • CAPS Project allows cost reduction for paper
    industry due to waste quantity reduction (direct
    cost reduction, lowering the environmental taxes)
  • Cost reduction for ports, oil industry and
    tourism
  • (lower costs for ports and marinas for water
    surface cleaning, particularly in case of an
    accidental release..)

10
From the idea to the project and EU co- financing
....
  • Assess whether your project has an EU dimension
  • Search for opportunities in existing European
    programmes
  • Distinguish between different funding programmes
    and its borderlines (ex. IEE, LIFE, DG RTD, Eco-
    Innovation..)
  • Check priority areas

11
CAPS Eco- Innovation
  • Eco- Innovation suitable to co- finance the
    activities and objectives of CAPS
  • First replication and market uptake
  • Fits into a priority area (recycling and
    materials..)
  • Technology and final product beyond testing phase
  • A clear benefit in support of EUs environmental
    policies
  • Potential for market replication and wider EU
    application (EU added value..)

12
..your partners (Consortium)..
  • Select partners which are complementary to you
    with regards skills and assets and which gives
    you a clear added value
  • Clearly define their role within the project
  • Geographical aspect (area to be covered)
  • Previous experience in EU funded projects
  • Form the consortium well in advance
  • Involve your partners in the preparation of the
    proposal
  • Get letters of support from interested
    stakeholders and potential users

13
..How we prepared the proposal..
  • Without particular problems (Read carefully Call
    for Applications Guide for Proposers)
  • Recommendations for potential applicants
  • (CIP Eco- innovation)
  • - Contact EACI with regard your idea
  • Clearly define project parameters (set realistic
    goals)
  • Emphasize the EU dimension of the project
  • See eligible costs (ex. only depreciation costs
    for equipment, average salaries, other costs..)
  • - Provide a break down of each category of
    eligible costs,
  • Establish a clear link between estimated costs
    and the innovative action

14
..negotiation period..
  • - Communication of short listed
    projects08.02.2009,
  • - End of negotiation21.04.2009
  • Main point to be clarified
  • Budget clarification of cost for equipment and
    personnel and its relevance for the innovative
    action
  • Exact project parameters (also after the project
    period)
  • Further explanation of the technical aspect of
    the project
  • Further explanation about the role of our partner
    (Kareg Engineers, Finland) in the project
    implementation

15
AIMS TO BE ACHIEVED..
  • - Project Period 36 Months
  • CAPS aims at the industrialisation and market
    replication of the new technology throughout the
    EU
  • Two production lines and centres Slovenia-
    Finland, 20.000 tones capacity PMS each. That
    would cover only 2 of the EU potential demand
    for such absorbent (REALISTIC TARGET)
  • Long- term we aim to achieve a 20 share on the
    EU market
  • Support from ports and yacht marinas (Port of
    Koper real life tests, Trieste, Venice,
    Valencia, Helsinki..) and from the paper
    industry in Slovenia and Finland
