Ticass // The Consortium
Ticass // Members
TICASS - italian acronym for Innovative Technologies for
Environmental Control and Sustainable Development
- is a non-profit Consortium established in March
2010, composed by Departments of the University of
Genoa, Research Centers and Large, Medium and Small
Enterprises.
University of Genoa - Departments
Chemistry and Industrial Chemistry (DCCI), Physics (DIFI),
Land Study and Resources (DISTAV), Civil, Chemical
and Environmental Engineering (DICCA), Mechanical,
Energetics, Industrial and Transport Engineering (DIME)
TICASS performs, promotes and support research activities,
as well as excellence technologies transfer in the “Energy
and Environment” area, with reference to Sustainable
Development and Quality of Life. The Consortium role is
also the coordination of the above mentioned activities at
regional, national and international level. Its main goal is to
widen knowledge and introduce innovative technologies
by means of Cross-border Cooperation, together with
universities and other public and private bodies.
TICASS promotes high profile training courses such as
PhD courses, first and second level Master’s degrees,
through the award of scholarships, research grants and
collaboration contracts.
Since May 2011, according to ‘Delibera Regionale
n.553 del 20/05/2011’, Ticass is officially endorsed
as the managing body of the “Energy-Environment”
Regional Innovation Hub.
Ticass is also part of the national technology clusters
“CL.A.N“ (Agrifood Area) and ”GreenChem“ (Green
Chemistry Area).

Ticass // Activities
SUSTAINABLE AGRO-FOOD SECTOR (OIL, WINE,
HERBAL PRODUCTION) APPLICATION
Improvement of traditional production cycles by means of
innovative and environmentally sustainable technologies.
Recovery and development of molecules with high added
value for cosmetic and pharmaceutical applications as byproducts.
GREEN CHEMISTRY
Enhancement and recovery of molecules with high added
value for pharmaceutical or nutraceutical use from raw
natural materials (oils, cereals), from biomass, and from
agricultural products intended for chemical industry
(algae and microalgae).
GREEN BUILDING nanomaterials and innovative
technologies for upgrading energy efficiency in existing
buildings (paints, cements, insulating materials). Sensors
and Intelligent Management of heat flows. Applications
of Geothermal Energy in buildings energy balance.
Technologies for energy saving (energy consumption for
air conditioning and humidity control in buildings).
SUSTAINABLE RENOVATION FOR PORTS AND URBAN
WATERFRONTS
Low environmental impact and energy saving technologies
for industrial sea economy, with particular reference to
sustainable dredging of seabed, redevelopment of urban
waterfronts and touristic boating.
AND MORE...
Revision of production cycles, new production processes
development (Bio-Remediation, Chemical-Remediation),
pollutant control and removal, enhancement and
full recycling of cool, agriculture and industrial water.
Development of renewable energy sources from byproducts and non-conventional technologies. Reduction,
capture, purification and reuse of CO2.
TIC
MONITORING AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL
Air quality evaluation based on Wireless Sensors
Networks for monitoring and integration of data related
to chemicals produced by public networks, in order to
validate their reliability and effectiveness. Monitoring of
parameters related to chemicals to assess air pollution and
its evolution in relation to emitted pollutants (methane,
sulfur, catalytic converters, etc). Evaluation and speciation
of nanoparticles in the atmosphere.

Ticass // Objectives
Research and Development activities and innovative
solutions provided by the Regional Innovation Hub
foster territorial and socioeconomic context potentials
by responding to the needs arisen from comparison with
local Stakeholders.
From the analisys of Strengths, Weaknesses, natural and
anthropic Threats and Territory opportunities it was
possible to define operational areas for the “Energy Environmental” Hub and its main objectives such as:
synergies among subjects involved in Research,
Innovation, Training, Development and use of
environmentally friendly technologies;
advanced research in main areas of interest and
exploitation of know-how and tools of the members;
creation of critical mass in terms of human, technological
and financial resources in order to achieve internationally
recognized levels of excellence;
support exchange of researchers belonging to TICASS, to
facilitate the link between academics and enterprises;
development of Industrial Research and Experimental
Development projects, scouting for funding.
