Proposals should develop robust materials solutions for optimising cooling in thermal power plants by

· Allowing their functioning at higher temperatures, thus increasing their efficiency and reducing the amount of water withdrawn or consumed;

· Allowing the use of alternative cooling fluids (including air-based or hybrid coolants); and

· Increasing the available effective water supply, either by permitting to upgrade the quality of the water (e.g. using membranes) or by improving the robustness of the cooling equipment. Proposals should include activities to test the proposed solutions in relevant existing pilot plants.
