#projectThe SPECTRUM project has officially launched in Lisbon, hosted by LNEG - Laboratorio de Energia. The project will develop #solar_collectors that make full use of the solar spectrum ☀ to produce #heat, #electricity, and #green_hydrogen, while also treating industrial #wastewater 💧. This combined approach supports European targets for #decarbonization, #energy efficiency, and sustainable #water_management. Project Partners:LNEG - Laboratorio de Energia MG Sustainable Engineering Imperial College London Fraunhofer-Institut für Solare Energiesysteme ISE Alma Mater Studiorum – Università di Bologna Högskolan i GävleSolarus Renewables AB IST-ID ( at Instituto Superior Técnico)CIEMAT Belgium VoltAt IST-ID four research units—Centro de Química Estrutural (CQE), CERENA-Centro de Recursos Naturais e Ambiente, IN+, and iBB-Institute for Bioengineering and Biosciences - are involved. At #iBB, Ana L., collaborating with colleagues from LNEG, CIEMAT, and the University of Bologna (Alma Mater Studiorum – Università di Bologna), will assess the #wastewater_treatment potential of the #photocatalysts developed in the project. This project is funded by #EUHorizon, under Grant Agreement no. 101172891.
