Good news from around Europe
An EU project has developed highly innovative ‘living’ bricks that contain chambers of microbes capable of turning human waste, such as urine and grey water, into valuable resources, electricity and clean water. Powered by WPeMatico
Global overconsumption is not sustainable and it is becoming increasingly evident that serious changes must be made. EU-funded research is helping to support the transition to a circular economy by identifying successful business models and how to implement them. Powered by WPeMatico
Przemysł ceramiczny odpowiada za emisję znacznych ilości gazów cieplarnianych do atmosfery. W celu zmniejszenia dużego śladu węglowego tego sektora, zespół finansowanych przez UE badaczy i programistów wykorzystał symulację, technologię i testy, aby na ich podstawie opracować bardziej efektywny energetycznie piec do wypalania ceramiki. Dzięki temu powstał nowoczesny, niskoemisyjny piec, który
L’industria della ceramica è responsabile dell’emissione di una considerevole quantità di gas serra. Per contribuire a ridurre la sua vasta impronta di carbonio, un gruppo di ricercatori e sviluppatori finanziato dall’UE ha impiegato tecnologie, simulazioni e test per creare una fornace più efficiente. Il risultato è una soluzione d’avanguardia caratterizzata
L’industrie céramique émet une importante quantité de gaz à effet de serre. Afin de réduire cette considérable empreinte carbone, une équipe de chercheurs et de développeurs de l’UE a recouru à la technologie, à des simulations et à des tests pour créer un four plus efficace. Il en résulte un
La industria cerámica es responsable de la emisión de una gran cantidad de gases de efecto invernadero. Para ayudar a reducir su considerable huella de carbono, un equipo de investigadores y desarrolladores de la Unión Europea utilizaron tecnología, simulaciones y ensayos para crear un horno más eficiente. El resultado es
The ceramics industry is responsible for emitting a substantial amount of greenhouse gases. To help reduce the industry’s sizeable carbon footprint, a team of EU-funded researchers and developers used technology, simulations, and testing to create a more efficient kiln. The result: a state-of-the-art kiln defined by optimised energy consumption, reduced
Building on the success of the previous EUvsVirus Pan-European Hackathon, a Matchathon to boost the scaling up of creative solutions to coronavirus challenges, took place from 21 to 28 May under the patronage of Commissioner Mariya Gabriel and the European Innovation Council (EIC).

More predictable than the wind and sun, tides have a massive potential when it comes to generating clean electricity. With tidal turbines already generating electricity within our seas, the challenge facing the industry now is to reduce costs. A consortium of EU-funded organisations has been using this knowledge to create
Industrial applications often call for surfaces designed to attract or repel water. EU-funded researchers are devising new methods to characterise and manufacture such surfaces and will make their findings public in a new Open Innovation Environment. Powered by WPeMatico
