Happy to announce the progress of LEI in WP2!βοΈ
After completing Task 2.1, in which the coupled system was tested and the main operating parameters were determined, work continued on upgrading the gas cleaning system. This included the installation of an upgraded hot gas filter, gas cooler, suction fan, additional gas lines, and other improvements. π§π¨π
At the same time, the automation and control system for the coupled installation was redesigned and updated to help achieve the main objective: syngas with an Hβ/CO ratio β₯ 2.1 and low impurity content. β»οΈ
This week, the first test runs with the upgraded gas cleaning unit and the new automation system were performed successfully, marking another important step forward in the development of the system. ππ
π₯ The video below shows testing of the upgraded gas cleaning unit and automation system for the main units.

Prototype assembly in progressπ§
Work on our Brayton cycle prototype at IMP PAN is moving forward! The structural frame arrived last month, and nearly all key components are already on site.
The installation process is now advancing quickly, and the system is taking shape in the laboratory. We are currently awaiting the final remaining elements that will allow us to complete the setup and move closer to integration and testing.
Itβs exciting to see months of design, calculations, and coordination transforming into a real, physical installation. Step by step, the prototype is becoming a reality. π‘βοΈ
Stay tuned for more updates as we continue building and preparing for the next phase of experimental validation. π

A few more moments from our recent consortium meeting
A few more moments from our recent consortium meeting in Warsaw πΈ
We are happy to share group photos from our gathering in PowiΕle last month. It was a great opportunity to bring the ResMe2E partners together and strengthen collaboration as we move into the second half of the project. π€
Thank you once again to all partners for the constructive discussions! -
3rd Consortium Meeting 5-6 February 2026
Last week, the ResMe2E consortium met in Warsaw for a productive and engaging project meeting π€. With the project now around its midpoint, the discussions became especially dynamic and focused, reflecting the growing maturity of the work and the strong engagement of all partners. The exchanges were highly constructive, helping to review progress, align next steps, and strengthen collaboration across the consortium π‘βοΈ.
The meeting took place in PowiΕle, an area where a former power plant once operated – an inspiring setting for conversations about the future of sustainable energy systems β»οΈβ‘π.
We would like to thank all project partners for their active participation and valuable contributions, as well as Qenergy for their support and help in organizing the meeting. -
Insulating the heat exchanger
We are happy to share that the high-temperature heat exchanger has now been professionally insulated by a specialist company. This is an important preparation step before integrating it into our methanol-fueled Brayton cycle pilot installation within WP4 of the ResMe2E project! π§βπ§
Proper insulation is essential to minimize heat losses and achieve high efficiency targets of our system. π― π -
Heart of the Brayton system arrives at IMP PAN labs π₯
Last week, the high-temperature heat exchanger β heart of our methanol-fueled Brayton cycle β arrived at the IMP PAN laboratories, marking another important step in the development of our pilot system within WP4 of the ResMe2E project. It will play a central role in the methanol-fueled Brayton cycle installation, supporting our efforts to demonstrate efficient and climate-neutral energy generation. π±β‘
The exchanger has now been safely unloaded and positioned in the lab, where it will soon become part of the experimental setup. Each new component brings us closer to turning our concept into a fully operational prototype.π§βοΈ
Watching our concepts take physical form in the lab is truly rewarding for the team! π‘πͺ

New Compressor Arrival! – Milestone in WP4
A new compressor unit has just arrived at IMP PAN and will soon be prepared for integration and testing. βοΈπ§βπ§ It is an important milestone for WP 4, dedicated to the development of a methanol-fueled Brayton cycle system. π β
The newly delivered compressor is a Rotrex EK40C PT66 (non-standard prototype), capable of 120,000 rpm, 20 kW power, pressure ratio of up to 3 bar, and mass flow between 0.06 and 0.12 kg/s. It will become one of the key components of our pilot installation, forming part of the innovative system designed to demonstrate efficient and climate-neutral power generation based on green methanol. πΏ β»οΈ π
In the photos, members of the IMP PAN team π©βπ§π¨βπ§ discuss the setup and testing procedures of the new equipment, marking another step toward building the integrated Brayton cycle installation.
This step brings us closer to demonstrating a climate-neutral, high-efficiency energy system, supporting the EUβs transition to sustainable and decentralized power generation. πβ‘
