Innovation and research is key in the push for the green transition! Here partners from industry and academia come together to build knowledge to accelerate the decarbonization in hard-to-abate industry 🌿 Thanks to all involved to get this work going and a special shoutout to Marita Nilsson, Per Sonesson, Fredrik Granberg

Reflections on EBC23 ➡️ A Transformative Experience! Exciting news from the European Bioplastics Conference EBC23! Plastrans Technologies had the privilege of being part of this dynamic event, where our Managing Director, Dr.Günther Gratzl, our Director of Sustainability, Dr. Rudi Eswein, and our Program-Director Biopolymers, Enea Saraci, immersed themselves in the latest developments in the #bioplastics industry.   The conference underscored the growing importance of regulatory support for the biopolymer industry to be able to play out its significance for reaching the European Green Deal's goal and renewable material targets. European 🇪🇺 Union paves the way with large funding programs for development of biobased materials, but in the light of upcoming regulations and the currently difficult economic environment the industry cannot exploit their full potential and therefore needs support to contribute to drive the transition. Despite of the difficulties the bioplastics industry shows resilience, gains momentum and is projected to grow significantly, thanks to the unique EU based know-how in #sustainability technologies. A special note of appreciation to Hasso von Pogrell , Managing Director of European Bioplastics, for orchestrating this impactful gathering and the whole European Bioplastics Team for organizing the world class event. We were thrilled to connect with existing partners and further enrich our network and collaborative efforts in advancing the bioplastics🌱industry.

Ready for the new European strategic agenda for batteries?

H2 Green Steel x LTU Green Fuels We've teamed up with Luleå University of Technology, Smurfit Kappa, and Pite Energi to create a state-of-the-art hydrogen lab in Piteå in the Norrbotten Region, close to our hydrogen and steel plant in Boden. Hydrogen is key to decarbonizing several dirty industries, and this lab will work at the forefront of pioneering research regarding large-scale hydrogen plant solutions. We will be an active partner in the lab and contribute with technical expertise in hydrogen production. The lab also aims to attract new hydrogen talent and initiatives to the region. This will not only benefit the research community but also the wider industry by pushing for innovation in the field of electrolysis. We believe that industry-academia collaboration and knowledge exchange can accelerate the shift toward a greener industry worldwide! The lab will be funded by the EU and The Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth. Read more below! https://lnkd.in/dJzY6DWp

Did you miss the webinar organized by the BEPA - Batteries European Partnership Association on the European Strategic Agenda for battery R&I needs ? ✅ Access below the full recording, presentation as well as the audience questions as answered by our experts!

Another great WORLD MATERIALS FORUM thanks to co-chairs Victoire de Margerie and Philippe Varin and organising team. Aside from this session on innovation and disruptive tech, there was a fascinating session on finance and scaling-up major projects. Start-ups need friends and partners when shifting from a great idea to industrial scale deployment. Not so easy to make high-performance batteries with low wastage rates, for example.

🚀 STREAMS recently participated in an insightful workshop organised by the Collaboration Board of BATTERY 2030 . The workshop, dedicated to sustainability, brought together projects under the BATTERY 2030 framework for a collaborative discussion. 🌐 Key Highlights: - Kristina Edström and Simon Perraud from BATTERY 2030 presented the mission of this large-scale research initiative for future battery technologies. - Claude CHANSON from RECHARGE – European Association of the Advanced Rechargeable & Lithium Batteries Value Chain shared insights on "Battery Sustainability in the EU Regulation: What’s in it for the research?" - Eliana Quartarone from the Batteries Europe provided a comprehensive overview of "Sustainability key challenges across the European battery value chain: an overviewfrom the Batteries Europe/Batt4EU Task force." - Marcel Meeus and Philippe JACQUES from EMIRI presented on "Applying the SSbD framework to batteries." 💡This moment provided a unique opportunity for the introduction of new projects. Yuri Surace, a member of the coordination team from the AIT Austrian Institute of Technology, delivered a brief presentation about the STREAMS project, showcasing our commitment to innovation and sustainability. 🌟 STREAMS is proud to contribute to the collaborative efforts fostering sustainability and innovation within the BATTERY 2030 community! #Sustainability #BatteryGrade #RawMaterials #HorizonEurope #Innovation #Battery2030 #RECHARGE #BatteriesEurope #EMIRI

Thanks to Pegah Shakeri, PhD for presenting the potential of electrodes and electrochemistry in CO₂ conversion and its part in the #WaterProofProject

🌊 To mark European Hydrogen Week, the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology is taking you inside SYBILLA LAB where our researchers explain how they are advancing hydrogen production technologies. 🔬 Sybilla lab is a joint research facility with 3D-Oxides dedicated to developing groundbreaking materials crucial for the #hydrogenindustry, playing a pivotal role in advancing new-generation #electrolysers, and pushing the boundaries of high-performance photolysis systems. 💡 Thanks to its combinatorial approach, SYBILLA LAB aspires to expedite the discovery of materials that not only meet the demands of hydrogen production but also lay the groundwork for innovations that will power the industries of tomorrow. 🔭 The combination of visionary leadership (Emanuele Barborini and his team Corrado Garlisi, Vincent Rogé, Kevin Menguelti, Petru Lunca Popa, Marc Michel and Bianca Rita Pistillo), support from the Luxembourg National Research Fund (FNR), and advanced equipment positions SYBILLA LAB at the forefront of the race to unlock the full potential of hydrogen as a clean and sustainable energy source. #HydrogenTransition #EUHydrogenStrategy #LISTMaterials
