The Eurecat technology centre is taking part in the iRAIN project which is to develop an innovative water resource management system by researching new systems and technologies to safely reclaim and reuse wastewater and its nutrients for agricultural purposes. It will harness state-of-the-art hybrid tools which combine monitoring and artificial intelligence by merging data [...]
The European LIFE Biogasnet project has validated a new biogas purification technology, which allows improving the quality of this resource produced in urban solid waste treatment plants and wastewater treatment plants, as well as reducing the carbon footprint of the cycle energy and promote the circular economy concept. Specifically, the solution "is based on [...]
The Eurecat technology centre is targeting technological innovation to cut water use while also stepping up the availability of water resources by harnessing solutions for optimising water use efficiency and driving reuse and desalination to lessen reliance on conventional water sources, especially during periods of prolonged drought such as the current one. Since 2015, [...]
The European VitiGEOSS project has developed an innovative smart platform featuring digital tools for precision viticulture which drive more sustainable vineyard management and the crop’s resilience to climate change which the Eurecat technology centre is showcasing at Mobile World Congress 2024 in Barcelona. “We have developed a single platform which farmers and other service [...]
The PHASAL project is fashioning new biodegradable bioplastics from agri-food waste for medical applications such as transdermal patches and suture kits which will minimise their environmental impact. Specifically, it is to develop new grades of biodegradable plastics (PHA) obtained from the recovery of organic waste, thus affording them advanced processability and biocompatibility properties, which [...]
The Eurecat technology centre predicts that 2024 will be the year of exploiting generative artificial intelligence which will yield solutions developed for a wide range of sectors including healthcare, construction, manufacturing, education, finance, retail and government. Daniel Casellas, Eurecat’s scientific director, notes “the enormous potential which is opening up to ensure that new technological [...]
Ebro-based company Kenshô and the Eurecat technology centre have teamed up to examine solid-phase fermentation for more sustainable manufacturing of fermented products such as Mediterranean sake and miso in L’Ampolla. As part of this R&D and innovation project, Eurecat has looked into the recovery of potential fermentative microorganisms from the washing water of a [...]
The first Eurecat Congress has underscored Catalonia’s opportunities for moving forward in reindustrialisation against the backdrop of today’s technological revolution by enhancing its competitiveness, growth and generation of wealth and social wellbeing through harnessing levers including adaptation to climate change, digital transformation and tapping artificial intelligence technologies. The congress hosted by the Eurecat technology [...]
The Eurecat technology centre and the companies Ocean Ecostructures and GPA SEABOTS have teamed up on the OASIS project which is designed to roll out nature-based solutions to address the environmental impact of port infrastructures and thus help turn ports into active players in biodiversity regeneration and the fight against climate change on coasts. The [...]
The Eurecat technology centre is a member of the European iClimaBuilt project consortium which is developing advanced energy technologies for insulation and energy harvesting and storage in buildings and new smart building materials which can adapt to a diversity of climates. It is showcasing all these breakthroughs at Smart City Expo 2023 in Barcelona this [...]
