About the HPC for Energy project
The HPC4E project is coordinated by BSC and is running from 1 December 2015 to 30 November 2017. The project has been granted €2 million in funding by the EU’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme. HPC4E brings together European and Brazilian partners that include both companies within the energy sector, such as REPSOL, TOTAL, Iberdrola and PETROBRAS, as well as the following research centres: BSC, CIEMAT, INRIA, University of Lancaster (ULANC), COPPE, LNCC, ITA, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul and Universidade Federal de Pernambuco.

Energy is one of the current priorities for EU-Brazil cooperation. The main objective is to develop high-performance simulation tools that go beyond the state-of-the-art to help the energy industry respond to both future energy demands and carbon-related environmental issues.
