The objective of digital product passport (DPPs) type solutions is to enhance circularity and sustainability. This relies critically on all stakeholders involved in the supply chain being knowledgeable about the benefits, challenges and needs for implementation posed by DPPs. Conducting awareness-raising and knowledge-sharing initiatives on topics related to DPPs is…
As we strive for a more sustainable and energy-efficient world, the importance of software in enabling this transition cannot be overstated. From optimizing renewable energy generation and consumption to enhancing energy storage and distribution, empowering smart cities and facilitating energy-efficient buildings, software solutions are at the forefront of driving transformative…
Unity is strength. A very general concept which HYPERGRYD is applying to EU-funded research on District Heating and Cooling. In early 2023 Hypergryd promoted the creation of a cluster of EU-funded research projects (Horizon2020, Horizon Europe and LIFE) dealing with District Heating and Cooling. The First Stage The first step…

Do not trust the title! Ten years ago, claims resounded that direct air capture (capturing CO2 from the atmosphere) would need only 3 times more energy than point-source capture. Everyone excited soon discovered the reality is much tougher than a good dream: the more the component you want is diluted,…
The SCENARIOS project will provide pilot solutions for the detection, (bio)monitoring, long-term toxicity and risk assessment, pollution control, and remediation of Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). These SCENARIOS technological developments need to be prepared in order to accelerate their market adoption and generate maximum awareness among the interested stakeholders. Pilot…
