The decarbonization of industry is one of the most complex challenges of the European energy transition. Sectors such as cement, petrochemicals, steel and waste management account for a large share of industrial emissions and still lack simple alternatives to fossil fuels and fossil-based raw materials. In Catalonia, these sectors are responsible for around 27% [...]
The Eurecat technology centre is coordinating the European Thunder project to develop a new modular technology for producing e-methanol from captured carbon dioxide, water vapour and waste heat. This initiative aims to reduce the costs and environmental impact associated with this sustainable synthetic fuel, one of the most promising alternatives for defossiling hard-to-electrify sectors [...]
The Fundación Ciudad de la Energía (CIUDEN), which reports to Spain’s Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge, has commissioned the Eurecat technology centre to develop an experimental pilot plant for research into the production of sustainable synthetic hydrocarbons. This strategic project aims to accelerate the decarbonization of air transport and other [...]
The Technology Development Centre of the City of Energy Foundation (CIUDEN) in Cubillos del Sil and the Eurecat technology centre have successfully completed the first phase of a project to develop a pilot plant aimed at using green hydrogen and captured carbon dioxide to produce high-purity methanol more efficiently. The first phase, with a [...]
The technology centre Eurecat and CREAF have established a joint research and innovation unit to develop and transfer technological solutions to society and industry, aiming to accelerate the adaptation of Catalonia to the effects of climate change. The alliance between the two organizations seeks to ensure that Catalonia is prepared to face global warming [...]
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 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 [...]
At the Net Zero Tech trade fair, the Eurecat technology centre has unveiled innovative solutions it has developed for decarbonising industry which have an impact on key ecological areas including CO2 capture and valorisation, enhanced energy efficiency, generating and using green hydrogen, waste valorisation, emission monitoring system digitalisation and rolling out circular production models. [...]
Repsol’s Industrial Complex in Tarragona and the Eurecat technology centre have stepped up their partnership to kick-start joint projects designed to fast-track industrial innovation, development and scaling of high-value tech solutions. The alliance is all about bringing together unique advanced tech capabilities to revamp industrial models towards the circular economy, decarbonisation, tech self-sufficiency, sustainability [...]
The Technology Development Centre at the Energy City Foundation (CIUDEN) and the Eurecat technology centre are leading the design and development of a pilot plant for using green hydrogen and captured carbon dioxide to produce high-purity methanol more efficiently, improving the thermodynamic limitations in conventional reactors while also making conventional purification stages unnecessary. This [...]
