🚀 Flashes from the #Biomethaverse Pilot Sites: advancing the future of biomethane. The Biomethaverse project is driving innovation in biomethane production across Europe. Here’s a snapshot of the latest progress from the pilot sites: France: The first liters of biomethane from the demo plant in France have been produced via the electromethanogenesis pilot and successfully injected into the ENGIE BiOZ unit in Les Coevron. Italy: The Ex-Situ Biomethanation plant is running smoothly. Reactor A (attached biomass) and Reactor B (suspended biomass) have been operating continuously for over three months. Experiments on venting patterns and H₂/CO₂ ratios are tested to maximise process efficiency and enhance hydrogen consumption. Preliminary results show promising improvements for system performance. Greece: At the BLAG ETM demo, construction is well underway. The pilot container is in place, civil works are wrapping up, and core process equipment is being assembled. Thermal management, automation, and safety systems are being fine-tuned to ensure stable, efficient operations from day one. Sweden: The methanation pilot at Cortus’s Höganäs gasification plant successfully demonstrated 1,300 hours of biological methanation with high methane content. Further trials were unfortunately cancelled following Cortus’s bankruptcy, but valuable learnings remain. Ukraine: Ukrainian biomethane has started reaching European markets, opening strategic pathways for economic growth, energy diversification, and regional energy independence. Expanding the local market remains a priority, contingent on post-war recovery. Stay tuned for more updates from the Biomethaverse project! https://lnkd.in/ePXf-Ref ISINNOVA - Research Innovation Sustainability ENEA UABio Centre for Research & Technology Hellas (CERTH) RISE Research Institutes of Sweden Wärtsilä Lab Crigen AERIS Tecnologias Ambientales SL FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg Gruppo CAP Energigas Sverige Politecnico di Milano SIAD S.p.A.

🚦 Why Roads4All? Because safety is more than infrastructure. Despite major progress, road crashes remain a leading cause of injury and death across Europe. Too often, they are seen as technical or enforcement problems - when in reality, they also reflect deep-rooted cultural and behavioural patterns. Roads4All is a Horizon Europe project that aims to transform how Europe approaches road safety - by addressing its social, organisational, and institutional dimensions. Our goals: ✅ Build a positive traffic safety culture grounded in shared values and collective responsibility. ✅ Test real-world interventions in five Living Roads pilots across Europe (Estonia, Croatia, Greece, Italy, and Serbia). ✅ Combine behavioural science, creative engagement, and policy innovation to foster sustainable change. ✅ Support policymakers, organisations, and communities with evidence-based tools to shape safer mobility systems. By rethinking how we design, educate, and act, Roads4All is paving the way toward a cultural transformation of road safety in Europe — where safety becomes part of everyday life. We are officially live on all social media channels. Give us a follow to be part of the journey. #Roads4All #HorizonEurope #RoadSafety #Mobility #CultureOfSafety #SystemicChange #SustainableMobility #CoCreation I-SENSEGroup/ICCS International Road Federation (IRF) - Official Account White Research Q-PLAN INTERNATIONAL Sveučilište Algebra Bernays DISSCO Dissemination-Science-Communication Technische Universität Dresden Università degli Studi di Modena e Reggio Emilia TalTech – Tallinn University of Technology ISINNOVA - Ricerca Innovazione Sostenibilità APRE - Agenzia per la Promozione della Ricerca Europea Region of Central Macedonia Road Traffic Safety Agency of the Republic of Serbia - Agencija za bezbednost saobraćaja

🌿📣 Call for Industrial Collaboration – Join the HyPEF Project! Are you an electrolyser, hydrogen tank or fuel cell producer? Here’s your chance to shape the future of sustainable #hydrogen technologies in Europe! HyPEF is a European project launched in January 2024 (duration: 3 years) — www.hypef.eu. 🧠 The consortium brings together leading research and industry partners: IMDEA Energy, ISINNOVA - Research Innovation Sustainability, ENEA, EIFER - European Institute for Energy Research, Ecoinnovazione srl - spin off ENEA, ENGIE, Advent Technologies Holdings, Inc., and Hexagon Purus. 🔍 Our goal: To promote an environmentally responsible hydrogen industry by developing the first Product Environmental Footprint Category Rules (PEFCRs) — detailed, product-specific guidelines on how to perform Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) according to the Product Environmental Footprint (#PEF) method developed by the European Commission. After a screening phase, 3 product (sub)categories were selected: ⚡💧 Electrochemical devices for hydrogen production 🛢️ Tanks for compressed hydrogen storage for heavy-duty mobility 🔋 Fuel cells for electricity production (stationary and mobility applications) We have now drafted the first versions of these PEFCRs and are looking for industrial partners to help us test these “rules” on real case studies. 👉 We’re particularly interested in companies willing to share data (e.g., Bill of Materials) on: 🔹 Electrolysers (especially solid oxide electrolysers) 🔹 Hydrogen tanks 🔹 Fuel cells By collaborating with us, your organisation will receive a free environmental assessment of your equipment/systems — no costs involved other than providing data! 📩 If you’d like to learn more or get involved, please contact: Raphaël Brière – [email protected] Let’s work together to build a greener, more transparent hydrogen future for Europe! 💧💚

With new European soil health legislation passing into law last week many policy makers will be asking...How do we find the latest tools for building a national soil monitoring programme? Look no further. Here are some pictures of the University of Zagreb Faculty of Agriculture team leading a trial of smart soil health measurement tools in an orange and pomegranate grove in Croatia. New monitoring methods like these are being road tested across the different soil districts of Europe to uncover new and improved ways of collecting soil health data. This is just one aspect of the science and innovation the AI 4 Soil Health project is undertaking to help policy makers be ahead of the curve when it comes to implementing the new Directive on Soil Monitoring and Resilience. We are also: Building a Soil Health Data Cube to aid the sustainable management of Europe’s soils by integrating crucial data on soil, climate, and vegetation into a unified, decision-ready format. And: Figuring out a robust framework of soil health indicators, which can give counties and regions a complete picture of soil health, accounting for all its complexities. Want to find out more?

📢 Our colleagues from SOB4ES need your contribution! 🌱 If you are working with soils in the EU or the UK as a researcher, policymaker, land manager or farmer, your insights on soil biodiversity indicators can help shape how we assess soil health across Europe. Our fellow Soil Mission project SOB4ES, together with Harper Adams University, has launched two short surveys to understand which soil biodiversity indicators are most relevant, practical, and cost-effective. 📖 At iCOSHELLs, we support this work with our soil indicator catalogue: a unique collection of indicators designed to evaluate soil health and the impact of innovative soil health solutions.
