RELATED PROJECTS
- The Research Group in Smart and Sustainable Resources and Industries (RIIS) at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC) is developing the ZeroCarbonPave project, which aims to assess the feasibility of incorporating biochar as filler and/or as the fine fraction of granular material in bituminous mixtures, with the objective of reducing the carbon footprint associated with the manufacture and laying of road pavements.
- The Centre for Technological Innovation in Static Converters and Drives (CITCEA) at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC) participates in the H2GLASS project, which aims to accelerate decarbonisation in the glass industry through the development and application of the new technologies needed to achieve complete hydrogen (H₂) combustion in glass or steel production facilities.
- The project is led by a team from the Rehabilitation and Architectural Restoration (REARQ) at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC), in collaboration with the Interdisciplinary Group on Building Science and Technology (GICITED), also from UPC, and CONSTRAULA.
- A research team from the inLab FIB at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC), together with the Asociación de Personas con Movilidad Reducida (AsoPMR), has taken part in the Spot4Dis project to enhance the mobility and autonomy of people with reduced mobility.
