🆕 In our commitment to continued #innovation and growth, we have achieved a breakthrough for the company.   #Matteco, together with leading Spanish manufacturer ARIEMA Energía y Medioambiente, has received EU Next Generation funding to deploy next generation technology in more efficient electrolyzers for #greenhydrogen.   The EMMA project has been awarded with a grant of €1.1 million by the Spanish government through its strategic recovery plan, PERTE, mobilizing a total of €1.4 million.   The joint work focuses on integrating our high performance components into a new generation of alkaline technology electrolyzers from ARIEMA ENERXIA SL , which will produce green #hydrogen more efficiently and at lower cost.   🗣 Iker Marcaide, co-founder & CEO of Matteco: "This collaboration shows that Matteco's nanotechnology is accelerating the arrival of a new generation of alkaline electrolyzers in which our components are key to their performance and efficiency".   🗣 Rafael Luque Berruezo, CEO of Ariema: “We have high expectations for Matteco's technology, a reliable partner that will allow us to make progress towards our goal of offering more and more efficient alkaline electrolyzers on a larger scale".   Thanks to the entire Ariema team! This new step forward strengthens our position as a world-class supplier of catalysts and electrodes for alkaline and AEM electrolysis, on the eve of the opening of our gigawatt factory in Valencia.   Taking Matteco to the next level 🚀   📑 Read the full story https://lnkd.in/eCB-uAqX

📢 Our Innovation team joined the IndTech 2024 Conference on Industrial Technologies organised by the Belgian Presidency of the Council of the European Union 2024 in Namur last week! Our colleagues contributed to important discussions about the future of advanced materials and circular economy. Our Innovation Project Manager, Francesca Cavezza, participated in a panel discussion titled "A New Generation of Advanced Materials Fit for the Circular Economy," bringing valuable insights into how to enhance the circularity of advanced materials, such as #aluminium, for industrial leadership. To boost further the circularity of the aluminium value chain, Francesca focused on the recently completed SALEMA EU project as an inspirational case study. 💡Our Director Innovation, Christian Leroy, joined another panel session co-organised by A.SPIRE and EU Science, Research and Innovation, addressing the crucial role of electrification and the integration of renewables and alternative sustainable energy in the #decarbonisation of the process industries. Christian emphasised the two on-going EU projects, H2GLASS and HyInHeat, focussing on the use of hydrogen as a fuel to decarbonise our heating and melting processes. Many thanks to the organisers and all the speakers for the fruitful discussions! 🤝 #innovation #materials #circulareconomy

Three fresh new case updates from TTT Circular Technologies. Two new ventures in the making; well prepared, ambitious and impactfull, and one honest story of pivoting the pathway of valorization.

Turning carbon into cash. Easier said than done. Edward Chan and the team at Metasorbex(TM) Corporation, an mHUB accelerator portfolio company, are capturing carbon at industrial point source and turning it into feedstock such as methanol or ethanol. Metasorbex is a materials platform based on graphene for carbon capture utilization in a cost-effective manner. It’s a real move away from carbon capture and sequestration (#CCS) to carbon capture and utilization (#CCU), from pure cost to revenue generating (without taking into account tax credits). Opportunities abound in the chemical and any other hard to abate industries turning carbon into useful feedstock. #carboncapture #carbon #climateaction #mhubaccelerator #carbonsequestration #carbonutilization https://www.metasorbex.com

According to the analysis of PATFORB Research Solutions LLP , there are approximately 1,500,000 patent families originating globally within the domain of fuel cell technologies. These patents encompass a wide range of innovations and advancements crucial to the development and proliferation of sustainable energy solutions. The attached graph provides a visual representation of the distribution of countries where these innovations have originated. While the specifics of the graph may vary based on the dataset and parameters utilized, it offers valuable insights into the geographical landscape of fuel cell technology innovation. Top Countries of Origin: The graph highlights the leading countries in terms of the number of patent families originating within their borders. These countries serve as key hubs for fuel cell technology innovation and play a significant role in shaping the trajectory of the industry. Analysis of the data reveals regional disparities in fuel cell technology innovation, with certain geographical areas demonstrating a higher concentration of patent activity compared to others. Understanding these disparities can inform strategic decisions regarding investment, collaboration, and resource allocation.

🌏 From 2 to 36 patent families: A Journey of Innovation! Almost ten years ago, #INESCTEC was on a journey with just two patent families. Today, in 2023, we're thrilled to share that we've expanded our portfolio to a remarkable 36 patent families. This extraordinary growth is a testament to the transformative power of science and technology in our modern world. Health, Agro-Food, Industry, Energy, Digital and Sea are the domains where we've made our mark, and we're not stopping there. Our patents have travelled around the world, reaching European and non-European countries, such as China, Canada, Australia, the United States, and Japan, showcasing the international appeal of our ideas and solutions. Innovation is the key to shaping the future! #Innovation #ScienceAndTechnology

Since the beginning of ARENHA, a series of objectives were set that revolve around the use of ammonia, the main material under study in the project.👇👇 💻 https://lnkd.in/dyJFKP2F #ARENHA #hydrogen #greenhydrogen #ammonia #greenammonia TECNALIA Research & Innovation           Eindhoven University of Technology          CNH2 - Centro Nacional del Hidrógeno  DTU - Technical University of Denmark      Fraunhofer IKTS           STFC        Proton Ventures          Elcogen          H2SITE    Stellantis           ENGIE              Université d'Orléans

🆒 At the end of the INCITE Project, and thanks to the two demonstration plants installed in Ravenna and Oelegem, the consortium have acquired sufficient knowledge and experience for a wider deployment of enzymatic processes in industrial contexts 👏 💬 “These processes enable production efficiency and have positive outcomes on the environmental impact (up to 40% less CO2 emissions, reduction of energy consumption, etc.)” states our last press release. #Incite #Project #Europe #Innovation #Sustainability Processes4Planet Partnership Endura SpA BiCT srl - Biological and Chemical Technologies Fraunhofer IMM Universiteit Gent Bioeconomy For Change VITO Yamini Satyawali Pieter Nachtergaele Stijn Vandenbroucke Roberto Verga Francesco Tozzi Dries Gabriëls Jan Mertens Rune Daneels Heleen De Wever Elise Meerburg Césaire Régis ESSIS Yann Raoul

"The blue #bioeconomy holds the promise of becoming a leading sector delivering true #sustainability by converting #innovation into well-balanced economic #impacts and #job creation, especially for currently less favoured #regions, and significant impacts in the #green transition, contributing to mitigating #climate change and enhancing #biodiversity and many of our critical #ecosystems." - João Claro, Vice-Chairman and CEO of INESC TEC on the future of the blue #bioeconomy sector and the B2E Blue Bioeconomy CoLAB.
