At CBE pHYBi we will combine the concept of soil phytoremediation with the valorisation of lignocellulosic biomass in an integrated circular phytomanagement approach. When we talk about pollution, the first things we think of are our skies, the quality of the air we breathe, our seas and oceans. But there is a third element, our soils. According to the European Commission's latest report on the environment,...

At the VOLTA Joint Research Unit, we are researching, in collaboration with Ferroglobe Innovation, new materials for energy storage that will enable progress towards sustainable electromobility. For the World Electric Vehicle Day, celebrated on 9 September, from CETIM we recall the importance of researching new materials for energy storage, since chemical configurations and their materials are the main protagonists to advance towards sustainable electromobility. "Having batteries with...
