A collection of case histories of successful collaborations between High Technology Network Laboratories and businesses. These are tangible and customisable examples of the application of new technologies, products, or services that show how industrial research can meet the needs of innovation.
The project develops an optimization model based on Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) to plan CCS (Carbon Capture and Storage) chains, essential for reducing emissions in Italy's hard-to-abate industrial sectors. The model minimizes...
Eco-design is the integration of environmental aspects in the product design process, aiming at reducing the negative environmental impacts along the whole life cycle, considering, in the meantime, such requirements as cost, quality, function and...
The efficiency requirements of household appliances are increasingly stringent in response to the growing global demand for saving energy resources. This process involved the use of new technologies and the development of cutting-edge techniques to...
Paper, a staple of human civilization for centuries, is not without drawbacks.
Its hydrophilic nature and porous structure are some of the limitations of this material, making its application particularly problematic in wet environments or in direct...
Energy systems are undergoing a transition towards new planning and management models in which energy networks (heat, electricity, gas, transports, etc.) will be integrated with each other to maximise possible synergies (Smart Energy Systems).
The...
Each healthcare institution annually produces large quantities of various kinds of special waste, almost 80% of which is represented by EWC 18.01.03 hazardous hospital infectious waste.
The average annual production in Emilia-Romagna, an Italy...
The main product of this technology is a char produced through thermochemical treatment of organic waste and functionalized for several specific applications by engineering the functionalization methods.
The service offered includes the recovery...
