RELATED PROJECTS
- 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.
- A team from the CATMech at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC) has created a computer system that rapidly calculates the CO₂ balance of agricultural and forestry estates. The project, developed within the framework of Agrixels, is coordinated by the Intelligent Data Science and Artificial Intelligence Research Center (IDEAI-UPC) and applies machine learning, artificial intelligence and satellite data methodologies to estimate the emissions and carbon absorption capacity of a plot of land in just three minutes.
- The Group of Construction Research and Innovation (GRIC) at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC) leads the RESILIENT project, which develops advanced models and methodologies to assess climate-resilience strategies in buildings and optimise decision-making.
- A research team from the Sustainable Construction Engineering Group (ECS) at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC), together with the Catalan company La Farga, a manufacturer of copper products and semi-finished copper products and a leader in copper recycling, has taken part in the development of a solution to use slag from the copper refining process as new materials and to optimise the use of natural resources in industry. Through this project, La Farga aims to valorise this slag for high added-value industrial applications, such as conductive cements used to manufacture road pavements or industrial sensing products.
