HIGHLIGHTED PROJECT
PROALGAE: Production of Alternative Proteins from Microalgae in a Circular Economy
The Group of Environmental Engineering and Microbiology (GEMMA) at UPC is leading the PROALGAE project, aimed at producing new alternative proteins from biomass derived from microalgae and cyanobacteria cultivated using by-products from the agri-food industry. These alternative proteins aim to provide a sustainable ingredient to meet the growing global demand for protein, applicable in the development of food and feed.
HIGHLIGHTED PROJECT
MOST: A unique hybrid device to generate electricity and store thermal energy in an efficient and sustainable manner
An international research team led by the UPC has created a hybrid device that combines, for the first time ever, molecular solar thermal energy storage with silicon-based photovoltaic energy. It achieves a record energy storage efficiency of 2.3% and up to 14.9% total solar energy utilisation.
