In the context of climate emergency and increasing water scarcity, the DECIDEIX project, led by the technology centre Eurecat, has been launched to develop planning tools for the safe implementation of water reuse models. The project will validate the safety and feasibility of a pilot based on Direct Potable Reuse (DPR). This model involves [...]
Today, at an H2CAT network conference in Lleida, the Eurecat technology centre presented innovations in new aviation fuels made from used oils and gases produced by combining captured carbon dioxide and green hydrogen which are expected to help decarbonise the industry and mobility. Eurecat pointed out how these materials can be used as raw [...]
The Eurecat technology centre is contributing new technologies to six European consortia with a total budget of over €43 million to drive the transformation of urban mobility and logistics towards more circular, sustainable and digital models with the goal of advancing Europe’s green transition and achieving the climate neutrality target set by the European [...]
The Eurecat technology centre will anticipate, next September 17th, technological solutions for the production of synthetic biofuels for aviation at an event in Lleida organised by the H2CAT network, the Catalan renewable hydrogen network coordinated by Eurecat. The event, presented in a demo day format, will feature live demonstrations of innovation projects aimed at [...]
The Eurecat technology centre is leading a project which will convert biomass produced by forest management into regenerated cellulose fibres for the textile industry in line with the push for the bioeconomy. The initiative, which also involves the Forest Science and Technology Centre of Catalonia and the University of Lleida, seeks to add value [...]
The Eurecat technology centre is taking part in the RECIPLAC project, supporting the social integration company Andròmines and the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya – BarcelonaTech (UPC) in developing a new advanced computer recycling process which will make it possible to recover critical and high-value metals such as palladium, copper and neodymium magnets. The project [...]
The Eurecat technology centre, in partnership with the Open Source Robotics Foundation and PAL Robotics, is hosting the ROSCon Spain 2025 conference, an event that will gather Robot Operating System (ROS) developers for the first time in Barcelona so they can learn and work together to create robotics applications. The applications of Robot Operating [...]
The Eurecat technology centre has demonstrated the photoprotective and anti-inflammatory potential of polyphenol-rich extracts from agricultural by-products such as chicory leaves, red onion skins, vine prunings and olive prunings, proving their effectiveness in three-dimensional in vitro models equivalent to human skin exposed to UV-B radiation in a paper recently published in the Journal of [...]
The Eurecat technology centre, in conjunction with other European institutions and universities, has conducted a study on the effects of climate change, particularly rising sea levels, on the disappearance of wetlands on the Mediterranean coast. The study points to the need to take action to prevent these formations from vanishing before the end of [...]
The Eurecat technology centre, in conjunction with Catalan SME Doole Health, has developed an advanced telerehabilitation platform called Rehabilify which enables patients to continue their treatment at home while keeping in touch with medical teams and ensuring personalised, effective and continuous monitoring. The platform, which has been backed by the Germans Trias i Pujol [...]
