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 has successfully tested new technologies to recover strategic raw materials including lithium, nickel and cobalt from various kinds of waste and by-products to help secure their supply, avert the environmental impact of their mining and support decarbonising by means of the circular economy. Critical raw materials (CRM) “are crucial to [...]
The Eurecat technology centre has set up a unit in its Sustainability Area that brings together applied research, innovation and interdisciplinary collaboration to develop climate solutions and improve territorial, coastal, water and business resilience targeting the bioeconomy and nature-based solutions. The Climate Solutions and Ecosystem Services (CLIMSES) team also assesses and delivers strategies supporting [...]
The Eurecat technology centre and the Catalonia Institute for Energy Research (IREC) are taking part in The Battery Show Europe with the joint battery research unit BATTECH which is presenting its new European technological research and innovation projects in this field. They involve investigating new materials for next generation cells and embedding them in [...]
The Eurecat technology centre is coordinating the BlauCat project which analyses the state of blue carbon in Catalonia’s coastal ecosystems to enhance the key role of wetlands and other coastal systems as natural carbon reservoirs which can capture and store carbon efficiently. The initiative will also design strategies for conserving and restoring coastal ecosystems [...]
The second workshop hosted by the Climate Resilience Centre (CRC), coordinated by Eurecat, stressed the importance of prioritising collaborative and consensus-based climate action in Catalonia with the engagement of the public and private sectors and society in general to make progress in climate resilience by driving the bioeconomy and climate change adaptation and mitigation [...]
The Tarragona Water Consortium (CAT) and the Eurecat technology centre have hosted a technical conference on the impact of climate change on drinking water quality at the Drinking Water Treatment Plant (DWTP) in l’Ampolla which brought together nearly a hundred professionals from all over Catalonia involved in water management and set out the first [...]
The Eurecat technology centre is taking part in the European Life Chandelier project which is to test using agri-food waste to produce biomethane for vehicles and make headway in the sustainability of the transport industry and rural development. Specifically, the project seeks to “develop a cost-competitive and feedstock-flexible solution anchored in innovative, modular technologies [...]
Nactiva, a joint platform for protecting and regenerating natural capital in the Mediterranean, and the Climate Resilience Centre have sealed a strategic partnership to kick off a new project forming part of Nactiva’s Water area and aimed at developing transformative solutions for adapting the Ebro Delta to climate challenges. Coordinated by Eurecat, the Climate [...]
Designing and manufacturing specific chips for key sectors of the economy is one of the technological trends set to shape 2025 says the scientific team at the Eurecat technology centre. They also predict that generative artificial intelligence will continue to grow in the coming year with disruptive applications and greater integration with technologies including [...]
