BATT4EU is a co-programmed partnership under #horizoneurope that aims to achieve a competitive, #sustainable and #circular European #battery value chain for #emobility and stationary applications, while driving transformation towards a #carbonneutral society. This includes supporting the development of differentiating #technologies in battery #materials, cell design, #manufacturing and #recycling, accelerating the development and deployment of sustainable, affordable battery solutions for clean mobility, and enabling cost-effective integration of #renewableenergy sources in the power grid, by creating affordable batteries for stationary #energystorage applications. Visit the BATT4EU website to find out more about this important #environmental initiative. #collaboratetoinnovate #TWIIN

🔬 Exploring Innovation at Blue City Rotterdam with Clear Rivers 🌱 In early June I had the opportunity of guiding the Clear Rivers team through the Blue City infrastructure, the highlight of which was visiting some of the most exciting spaces at BlueCity (010) Rotterdam—our state-of-the-art laboratories. It was a fantastic opportunity to showcase how these labs are pushing the boundaries of sustainability and circularity. We explored our Fungi Lab, Biochemistry Lab, Microbiology Lab, and Fabrication Lab, where groundbreaking research and innovation are transforming waste into valuable resources and sustainable materials. Human history has been defined by the materials we've used - Stone Age, Copper Age, Bronze Age, Iron Age, Steel Age. We hope to now usher in the age of sustainable materials. At BlueCity (010), we explore the future of sustainability together—one lab at a time! 🌍💡 #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #BlueCityRotterdam #Innovation #EnvironmentalScience #ClearRivers #FutureOfBusiness #SustainableDevelopment

💎 From Hamburg, Germany, Soeren’s been with us for the past 10 years and has worked at different sites and business units. ❓ When asked if he has a favourite metal, his reply is, “No favourites! They’re all important, every metal and mineral has a place”. 🔎 From investing in innovative companies to partnering with universities, Soeren’s work involves discovering the 'next big thing' or technological breakthrough that will help us become more sustainable. #FindingBetterWays

🌊🚢 Thrilled to share Danaos Research Centre Team journey in ESY!   🌍✨Exciting news from Danaos Research Centre Team. At Danaos Research Centre Team, we've dedicated ourselves to advancing Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) modelling to drive #sustainable and #efficient #practices in #ship #management. In ESY, we're expanding our commitment by enhancing our LCA capabilities to develop the #Ship #Lifecycle #Performance #Model. 🔧 This #innovative #tool will empower #ship #owners and #shipyards to pinpoint opportunities for #circularity, #waste #reduction, and improved #sustainability and #economic #viability.   🚀 Danaos Research Centre Team in ESY is clear: to leverage this #platform as a decision support #tool, guiding #vessel #management #strategies across their entire #lifecycle. By integrating cutting-edge #technology with our deep #industry #expertise, we aim to redefine standards in #maritime #sustainability. 🙏 A heartfelt thank you to our Danaos Research Centre Team partners for their invaluable support and collaboration.

#merrychristmas from my side, from my just-finished project, and from our group. Diels-Alder self-healing materials can be engineered with diverse mechanical properties (a multi-material layer is observed; upon heating, the material with lower melting temperature becomes liquid and flows out). This property caters to various soft robotics applications and facilitates the creation of multi-material structures, such as a gripper. The gripper design involves utilizing different materials for the main body and the skin to meet specific functional requirements. Additional details, titled 'Variable Stiffness, Sensing, and Healing in FESTO's FinRay Gripper: An Industry-Driven Design,' will soon be published in the IEEE Robotics and Automation Magazine.

"By evaluating project continuity, the scale of industry investments following project completion, and the proliferation of innovative biorefineries across Europe, it becomes clear that CBE JU has been essential in transitioning from initial project successes to widespread industrial application." There are many funding instruments, tools, initiatives - both at international and national level - out there. Measuring the success of each of them is not always obvious. As always, numbers don't lie. And there is a number of evidences demonstrating that Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking (CBE JU) is achieving its objectives and is impacting on the European innovation landscape. The path for defossilising European economy is still long and complex. This independent study gives us even more motivation and recognition to accomplish the huge work is still left to do.

Specifically, we will explore how to form a new green innovation value chain and recycle lithium slag to provide technological and economic solutions for industrial defossilization.

The SPIRE-SAIS Final Conference Shaping the Future: Emerging Skills for a Sustainable Process Industry It was a beautiful day in Dortmund, the European capital of innovation, in which it became clearer than ever that technological and climate-mitigation solutions can only reach their full potential through highly skilled manpower. Felix Rohn from the European Commission stressed that the SPIRE-SAIS project inspired the European #PactForSkills and congratulated the consortium for its achievements and the collaboration within it, encouraging the team and the industry to take it to the next level with an outcome that will have a significant impact on the #EnergyIntensiveIndustries. The future will be shaped by green skills and trained educators. It’s a wrap but not the end of the journey.
