On 16 July, the second Review Meeting of the TRANSITION Project took place in Brussels, hosted at the premises of TOUR4EU – Tuscan Organisation of Universities and Research for Europe. Our Project Manager, Alessandro Mattia, represented the consortium during a lively and productive discussion. We are pleased to report a successful review and proud of the steady progress we are making toward completing our planned activities and achieving the project’s ambitious goals.
The first 𝐏𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐜 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐩 event of the project 𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗦𝗜𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 was held on May 21st in Florence, kindly hosted at the Florence Learning Center of Baker Hughes facilities in Florence.
The event represented the planned mid-term dissemination action of the project and showcased the TRANSITION partners’ recent achievements in improving knowledge on the use of 𝗘𝗚𝗥 (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) in heavy-duty gas turbines to enable more efficient adoption of carbon capture technologies (𝗖𝗖𝗨𝗦).
Project partners presented the outcomes achieved in the first two years of the project. The workshop also saw the contributions by two external experts as Invited Speakers: Prof. Epaminondas Mastorakos, University of Cambridge, and Prof. Ward De Paepe, University of Mons.

On October 16 & 17, the third Review meeting of TRANSITION project took place in Stuttgart at DLR Institute of Combustion Technology, premises.
During the meeting each task leader provided updates on the progress of activities. The event was completed by a visit to the laboratories: high pressure combustion test rig, micro gas turbine lab, fuels research, direct air capture
On October 11-12, 2023, TotalEnergies hosted the 2nd Internal Technical Review meeting (M12) of TRANSITION project. The meeting was held at TotalEnergies Technical Center (CSTJF), Pau, France and was attended by all project Partners. The latest updates on the WPs activities were presented, and two very interesting visits were made to “PANGEA” HPC and to “RAID” Remote operations monitoring center visit.
ASME Turbo Expo 2023 was well represented by UNIFI, Heat Transfer and Combustion research group (Alessio Picchi, Tommaso Bacci, Sofia Galeotti,Matteo Amerighi, Lorenzo Orsini, Simone Castellani, Umberto Sandri, Niccolò Castelli) that contributed to the conference with 13 papers ranging from combustion modelling and testing, turbine and combustor cooling and secondary air systems testing and modelling.
On April 17-18 2023, Università degli Studi di Firenze hosted, at THT-Lab, the first Internal Technical Review (M6 meeting) of TRANSITION project.
The meeting was attended by all project partners (Baker Hughes, TotalEnergies, CERFACS, German Aerospace Center (DLR), SINTEF and SINTEF Ocean). Preliminary results related to WP2 (EGR Gas Turbine integration) and WP4 (CCS-GT integration and assessment) were presented, with useful discussions on how to approximate the EGR process during experimental testing and with the presentation of a number of concrete application scenarios of combined power-plants where the combustion technologies under development could be used.
The meeting was held in a friendly atmosphere helping to consolidate the team!
