Road traffic is a major source of particle-based air pollution in cities. It originates from exhaust emissions by internal combustion engines, and from particulate matter produced by wear and tear on brakes, tyres and roads. EU-funded researchers addressed this with breakthrough solutions that cut brake emissions by at least 50 %.
EU project IVD4Sepsis developed a test to spot an often little-discussed killer, sepsis, in its early stages when it’s easier to treat.
The IVD4Sepsis project devised a test to improve the diagnosis of one of the world’s greatest killers, sepsis. According to the World Health Organization, 6 million people die from the disease every year worldwide, yet many of these deaths are preventable.

Sustainability and competitiveness are buzzwords of the fuel cell industry in Europe. How fuel cells are treated at the end of their life is vital to meeting these goals.
Renewable energy has been on the rise in the EU in the last few years. Producing only electricity, water and heat as a by-product, fuel cells are the key to a sustainable energy future. However, cost and infrastructure as well as lack of recycling strategies for both materials and fuel cell components are a major obstacle to wider deployment of the technology.
Embracing the circular economy for fuel cells

Despite the progress of fuel cells and hydrogen technology, legal and administrative processes (for planning, safety, installation and operation) struggle to keep up, resulting in costly delays which jeopardise investment. HyLAW’s evidence-based approach offers sector traction.
The EU-funded coordination and support action project, HyLAW, was the first of its kind to comprehensively review the root causes behind legal and administrative barriers holding back the deployment of fuel cell and hydrogen (FCH) technologies, in 18 national legal systems, as well as the EU’s own.

Renewable electricity sources are not always constant, which presents a problem in the move towards low-carbon economies. The award-winning GrInHy project developed a prototype technology that creates green, flexible hydrogen energy at high efficiency to enable ultra-low emission steel.
A major challenge for society today is the shift towards competitive, low-carbon economies. To achieve this goal – with the target of 2050 set by the European Commission - all sectors of the economy will need to use renewable electricity extensively.

Fuel cells produce electricity without combustion, yielding only heat and water as by-products. Onboard technology to increase performance and decrease costs should enhance uptake in a myriad of applications.
The Industrial Revolution was largely powered by steam engines and coal combustion. Today, steam turbine generators relying on combustion of fossil fuels produce over 65 % of the world’s electrical energy.

About 40 % of the 40 major transnational oil and gas pipelines that traverse Europe have been in operation for over 40 years. An EU initiative has taken a radically different approach to detecting ageing infrastructure defects.

Most companies can’t afford cybersecurity. Now, businesses can employ expert software instead.
Cyberattacks are a real and constant threat. The consequences for businesses and government can be serious, including interruption of services and theft of information.
