European Projects

Affirming our position on research projects

40% of the CTP’s budget is State-funded via the General Research Programme. The remaining 60% is broken down into three almost equal shares: CTPinnovation contracts with French and international companies, private-sector contracts and services for customers, and public-sector contracts in the form of replies to calls for tender… including those of the 7th Framework Programme (2008-2013).

«To have any chance of winning a European project, there need to be “lines” in the programme into which we can fit”, explains assistant research director François Julien Saint Amand. “These programmes are defined on the basis of proposals elaborated by the 36 European Technology Platforms, such as the FTP¹. The FTP calls on industries working in the sector and on European research institutes (EFPRO² for the paper sector), including the CTP, to define priority research topics. The FTP proposes these topics to the European Commission in order to prepare the various calls for proposals in the context of FP7³. These technology platforms, initiated during the FP6, have gradually enabled industrial requirements to be more effectively met.  The strategic agenda published by the FTP in 2006 and the FP7 work Programmes have enabled the CTP to score some fine successes with innovative and ambitious projects».

Focus on Four European projects 2010-2011

BoostEff This is the logical follow-up to EcoTarget (FP6), which demonstrated the possibility of making papers requiring less raw material and energy by using stratification. Our Swedish counterparts at Innventia, which is coordinating BoostEff, have developed a technology for preventing multiple layers from mixing. The CTP is contributing to the deinking, fractionation, curtain coating and printing aspects. The project began in summer 2010 and is scheduled to end in May 2013.

A3PLE This intelligent paper project addresses one of the “fi bre-based” R&D issues in the European Programme. The aim is to produce labels and posters incorporating sensor (gas, tempera-ture), optical display, memory and energy (battery) functions. The partners include the CEA (battery and sensor aspects), a Portuguese laboratory (display with electrochromic inks and memory) and industries. The CTP is acting as coordinator.

DemoWood Funded by the French Ministry of Agriculture via the Wood-Wisdom-Net programmes, this project is being coordinated by the FCBA technology institute. Its aim is to recover and reuse wood from building demolition operations to produce mechanical pulps, panels and energy.

LignoDeco Funded by the European Union, this joint European-Brazilian project involving the CTP aims to find innovative biotechnological solutions for deconstructing clonal eucalyptus and elephant grass to produce special grade pulps and biofuels. The CTP was chosen on account of its expertise in the area of lignocellulosic fibres and is responsible for validating the processes on its pilot installations.

Focus on Two French projects 2010-2011

PEPS This project, co-financed by the ANR, focuses on printed electronics for tomorrow’s secure packaging materials. Approved in 2010, it began in 2011. It is being carried out in partnership with two specialist laboratories and two industrial establishments and is coordinated by the CTP.

Ozoflot The underlying idea of this other ANR project, coordinated by Grenoble INP-Pagora, is to replace air with ozone in the flotation deinking process, which will have positive effects on flotation efficiency and on pulp and effluent quality.
