Engineering Research Centers/Applied Research Centers (CPE/CPA)

The FAPESP Program for Engineering Research Centers/Applied Research Centers uses the successful model of the RIDC Special Program (Research, Innovation and Diffusion Centers) and associates it with the University-Industry Cooperative Research (PITE), in which there is a cofinancing partner company, strongly motivated to participate in the definition of the focal themes to be investigated; to actively participate in the research projects; and to use the results obtained with the center. The projects are selected through publicly announced calls by FAPESP in partnership with the partner companies.

Abstract
By 2050 it is expected that electricity will move from 18 to 50% of the worldwide energy matrix, renewable sources of energy will expand four times from the current installed capacity, but CO2 emissions are expected to be half of today's value. In this scenario it is imperative to build novel solutions for energy storage that are still unavailable today and can cope with the predicted dem…
