ENERXICO

Supercomputing and Energy for Mexico

The ENERXICO project is applying exascale HPC techniques to different energy industry simulations of critical interest for Mexico. ENERXICO works to provide solutions for the oil and gas industry, improve wind energy performance and increase the efficiency of biofuels for transportation. Composed of some of the best academic and industrial institutions in the EU and Mexico, ENERXICO demonstrates the power of cross-border collaboration to put supercomputing technologies at the service of the energy sector. The specific objectives of the project are: 

  • To develop beyond state-of-the-art high performance simulation tools for the energy industry 
  • To increase oil & gas reserves using geophysical exploration for subsalt reservoirs 
  • To improve refining and transport efficiency of heavy oil 
  • To develop a strong wind energy sector to mitigate oil dependency 
  • To improve fuel generation using bio-fuels 
  • To improve the cooperation between industries from the EU and Mexico 
  • To improve the cooperation between the leading research groups in the EU and Mexico
