The transport sector represents around 25% of all EU CO2 emissions. To face this challenge, the NEXTBAT consortium, involving 12 partners from 6 different EU countries and 1 Associated Partner from Switzerland, will provide a new framework for standardization of the next generation of battery system design that will contribute to speed up a safe and sustainable...
To support EU countries in assessing their progress for reaching their targets agreed in the Paris Agreement, the European Commission has clearly stated that an objective way to monitor anthropogenic CO2 emissions is needed. Such a capacity will deliver consistent and reliable information to support policy- and decision-making processes. To maintain Europe's independence in...
The radical transformation of transport systems so they provide sustainable, clean, safe and integrated mobility is a major policy goal at nationaland European level. A major part of this effort aims to provide enhanced mobility experience to all users and improve the efficiency and safety of the transport network. Furthermore, the transport sector has a significant...
To support EU countries in assessing their progress for reaching their targets agreed in the Paris Agreement, the European Commission has clearly stated that a way to monitor anthropogenic CO2 emissions is needed. Such a capacity would deliver consistent and reliable information to support policy- and decision-making processes. To maintain Europe’s independence in this domain, it is...
CCiCC addresses the crucial knowledge gap in the climate sensitivity to carbon dioxide emissions, by reducing uncertainty in our quantitative understanding of carbon-climate interactions and feedbacks. This will be achieved through innovative integration of models and observations, providing new constraints on modelled carbon-climate interactions and climate projections, and...
The recent COP21 Paris agreement on climate ties the participating countries (Spain and the whole EU among them) to take actions to reduce anthropogenic carbon emissions in order to contain global warming within 2o C by the end of this century. This translates into the necessity to precisely estimate the compatible CO2 emissions well ahead of time to make sure targets are met. However,...
Liquid fuel combustion applications are the main energy consumers within our current transport system, with a consequent impact on resource utilization, global warming and pollutant emissions. Society is pushing to decarbonize the transportation sector with replacementfuels that have lower impact and allow to a carbon-neutral growth for the near term. The implementation of...
This project aims to apply the new exascale HPC techniques to energy industry simulations, customizing them, and going beyond the state-of-the art in the required HPC exascale simulations for different energy sources: wind energy production and design, efficient combustion systems forbiomass-derived fuels (biogas), and exploration geophysics for hydrocarbon reservoirs. For...
The recycling of end-of-life concrete into new concrete is one of the most interesting options for reducing worlwide natural resources use and emissions associated with the building materials sector. The production of the cement used in concrete, for example, is responsible for at least 5% of worldwide CO2 emissions.
On-site reuse of clean silica...
