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 [...]
BATTECH, the joint research unit run by the Eurecat technology centre and the Catalonia Institute for Energy Research (IREC), is this week showcasing technological innovations at the Battery Innovation Days, hosted this year in Barcelona, to make headway in recycling and reusing electric batteries at the end of their service life. As a pacesetter [...]
The Eurecat technology centre is leading three European projects with a total budget of €8.2 million to drive new solutions for advanced high-strength steel components for designing lightweight vehicles in the automotive industry and larger, more resistant and cost-effective wind turbines for offshore wind energy. Specifically, the H2FORM3G European project, coordinated by Eurecat and [...]
The European SunCoChem sustainable chemistry project has developed a reactor prototype to manufacture chemicals using renewable energies drawing on carbon dioxide (CO2) recovered from the chemical industry and solar energy. “The goal of the project is to offer the chemical industry a sustainable alternative for producing chemicals without relying on fossil fuels,” says María [...]
The Eurecat technology centre has developed a new process harnessing membrane technologies to treat liquid effluents from industrial processes and promote saving and recovering water and resources which can be reused in industrial operations. It is on show for the first time at the Advanced Factories trade fair at Fira Barcelona. They are cutting-edge [...]
At the eMobility Expo World Congress, which brings together the European mobility industry from 13-15 February in Valencia, the Eurecat technology centre is to unveil its latest-generation technologies and solutions in batteries and electrification, hydrogen, robotics, new lightweight materials, plastronics and artificial intelligence to unlock sustainable mobility. “Eurecat will bring outstanding innovations to businesses to [...]
The introduction of generative artificial intelligence in virtually every link of the supply chains of many industrial sectors, the replacement of synthetic fibres in the textile industry and its resulting impact on the reduction of microplastics, breakthroughs in automotive sensor technology and the push for the Internet of Things (IoT) and the potential of [...]
The Eurecat technology centre is coordinating the European GIANCE project which is to develop and test grapheme-based innovative and recyclable solutions to furnish industry with new sustainable materials and optimise their applications in the automotive, aerospace, hydrogen energy and water treatment industries. Specifically, the project aims to design, develop and scale up the next generation [...]
Santos Jorge, a business engaged in managing and treating recycled glass, and the Eurecat technology centre have teamed up to develop a new innovative process for recovering glass waste which until now ended up in landfill and turn it into new market products and applications such as a substitute for sand in golf bunkers. The [...]
Starting today at Expoquimia, the Eurecat technology centre is showcasing new solutions in industrial scaling to meet society’s challenges in industrial decarbonisation, hydrogen and the circularity of plastic materials. They harness sustainable technologies which make it possible to manufacture new products and help companies in their transition towards green chemistry and the circular economy. [...]
