📢 New FCA - EIC joint paper on disruptive innovation in energy systems and construction! We are delighted to announce the launch of a new report by Future Cleantech Architects (FCA) and the European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA), resulting from our partnership at Future Cleantech Festival 2024! This collaborative paper dives into two pivotal areas shaping Europe's clean transition: ✅ Energy storage: Accelerating innovations to balance renewable energy and ensure grid stability ✅ Sustainable construction: Driving decarbonization, integrating alternative materials, efficient designing, and cutting-edge technologies to reshape the sector With insights from EIC projects and discussions that took place during our festival, this report underscores the urgent need for breakthrough #cleantech solutions and regulatory support to bridge gaps in hard-to-abate sectors and accelerate the transition to #NetZero by 2050.

Innovation Fundin IF24Battery-akkuhaku julkistettiin tänään: "Today, in the first week of its new mandate, the Commission is stepping up its efforts to boost net-zero technologies that are key to ensure the competitiveness of European industry while meeting agreed climate goals. It is launching two new calls for proposals with a budget of €3.4 billion to accelerate the deployment of innovative decarbonisation technologies in Europe, including electric vehicles batteries. For the first time, a €1 billion call for electric vehicle battery cell manufacturing (IF24 Battery) will support projects that can produce innovative electric vehicles battery cells or deploy innovative manufacturing techniques, processes and technologies. Today's call is only one measure in a broader approach to mobilise investment in an area that is essential for Europe's success in the clean energy transition and its competitiveness. It supports companies in targeting investments in Europe with new technologies where advances are still being made. Multiple instruments are needed to overcome some of the economic barriers that the battery value chain in Europe, including its gigafactories, is currently facing. The Commission will continue to deploy instruments at hand and engage in new avenues, including in the short term, for addressing barriers to large-scale industrial scale up." #akkuteollisuus #InnovationFund #IF24Battery #EU #rahoituspaketti https://lnkd.in/ejS7z2M9

MorGen Energy is constructing its second green hydrogen refuelling station at the Cleantech Innovation Park in Hallstad, Germany. The project, supported by the Bavarian State Ministry for Economic Affairs, Regional Development and Energy, aims to improve sustainable transport infrastructure and facilitate efficient logistics for green energy companies.

Do not miss tomorrow's European EnerGreenDeal Conference Conference, and our Ilka von Dalwigk on the 3rd plenary session "Battery Manufacturing and Critical Raw Materials: Overcoming the Challenges of Building New Industrial Value Chains". The speakers of that panel, moderated by David Rose, will address the Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA) target of 10% of the EU’s critical mineral demands being met by domestic mines by 2030, the CRMA's effective implementation, and address questions such as 'What are the primary challenges facing Europe’s battery value chain?', and 'What action should we take to help the European battery value chain succeed in both the short- and longer-term?'. #EnerGreenDeal #Batteries4EU #CriticalRawMaterials #batteries

🌍⚡ Developing the Future of Maritime Electrification with HYPOBATT ⚡🌍 The transition to a sustainable and greener maritime industry is no longer a distant vision—it's happening now with HYPOBATT! #HYPOBATT is a EU-funded project dedicated to support the maritime sector through a innovative charging solution.

🌍 News of the Week: The European Commission’s Competitiveness Compass puts clean tech at the heart of Europe’s future! With policies to boost investment, innovation, and energy resilience, the plan aims to accelerate decarbonisation while strengthening EU industry. Industry leaders like Schneider Electric, Eurelectric, CurrENT, and EUTurbines - European Association of Gas and Steam Turbine Manufacturers are calling for simplified policies, deeper market integration, and technology-open approaches to drive progress. But will the EU get it right? Read more 👉 https://lnkd.in/dPR2WMCs #CleanTech #EUCompetitiveness #EnergyTransition Jonathan Spencer Jones Areti Ntaradimou

🌟 What are we collaborating on with the Fraunhofer Institute for Wind Energy Systems (IWES)? Our project, called SmartRoMaIn, aims to enhance efficiency in wind rotor blade manufacturing. The project aims to significantly reduce manufacturing defects, increase production rates, and reduce the risk of structural damage in the field. As a result, costly repair work can be avoided. Last week, we visited the IWES in Bremerhaven and dove deep into testing the limits of our LeadingCheck technology. 🚀 Fueling Innovation Together At 8tree, we believe that innovation thrives in collaboration. Our partnership with Fraunhofer-Institut für Windenergiesysteme (IWES) exemplifies this belief, and we're incredibly proud to be part of a community that's driving positive change and shaping the future of technology. #ThrowbackThursday #IWESBremerhaven #SmartRoMaIn #LeadingCheck #wavecheck #WindIndustry #Collaboration #Innovation

☕ Today we have participated in a very interesting workshop focused on the work of technology centres as technological allies in the digital and green transition through:        ▪ Energy solutions for the city.        ▪ Sustainable mobility and charging infrastructure        ▪ Energy communities        ▪ Development of biosensors and biopiles applied in plants to be able to transmit the state of the environment in the cities and that precisely from Instituto Tecnológico de la Energía, ITE is being worked on with the project WatchPlant EU Project. #Watchplant #Itenergy #EnergySolutions
