This time, we have sought scientific inspiration to continue developing projects in Tuscany, a land connected to the genius and polymath Leonardo da Vinci. In the same way as he went in deep into different areas of knowledge, the BEETHOVEN project consortium is investigating the generation of new improved magnets using different strategies, exploring several…
In the beginning on this month, we could visit the historic University of Pavia. The reason was not the museum of the developer of electric battery, but the first-year follow-up meeting of NEO-CYCLE European project. Inside Scarpa space, in the past renowned classroom regarding anatomic dissection, the consortium met to update the progress about magnet…
The challenge of new magnet production reducing the amount of critical raw materials has activated different strategies within BEETHOVEN project. One of the technical approaches deals with ferrite-based composites, and LUREDERRA Technology Centre is using their exclusive Flame Spray Pyrolysis equipment to produce improved nanomaterials that can shape those composites. On Friday, May 30th, César…
On February 28th Lurederra host a specific meeting within the scope of recent SUNRISE project. Some members of GAIKER research team focused on toxicity and sustainability, visited our facilities as part of the collaboration related to our use case study, which deals with a nanobased anticorrosion coating. Precisely, Lurederra contributes to the project with the…
On February 20, the follow-up meeting for the 30th month of the project took place. FREE4LIB is in the up-scaling stage of each of the technologies involved in the recycling chain, which have been developed and optimized in previous months. Focusing on Lurederra, in recent months, it has worked on the transformation of recycled precursors,…
Adrián Quesada, leader of the involved research group from the Institute of Ceramics and Glass of CSIC (ICV-CSIC), moved to Lurederra’s facilities for a follow-up meeting concerning the tasks involving these two entities. Within the framework of the European project BEETHOVEN, Lurederra and ICV-CSIC work closely on the synthesis of highly specific ferrites using the…
The NEO-CYCLE project was launched last September and aims to demonstrate at TRL6 the sustainable upcycling of spent NdFeB magnets comings from hard disks drives (HDDs), reaching high quality end products for 4 case studies: pharmaceutical, ammonia, fertilizers, and polymers industries; and will include necessary paths to reach the market uptake. To reach this aim,…
Lurederra is participating in SUNRISE project, which is focused on the concept of “Safe and Sustainable by Design” (SSbD). The project includes Integrated Approaches for Impact Assessment (IIAA), based on life cycle thinking and designed to support Safe and Sustainable by Design decision making along supply chains of advanced materials (AdMa) and their products. SUNRISE…
On November 21st, ACCIONA, supported by PNO Innovation, will host the workshop titled “Sustainability and Durability Challenges in Offshore Infrastructures”. The event organised on behalf of the MAREWIND project, will feature leading international professionals from the offshore energy sector, who will share their insights and future perspectives for the industry. Additionally, experts in new materials will…
May 2024 was the date when BEETHOVEN project was launched, an innovative initiative aimed at addressing one of the most critical challenges of the energy transition towards a more sustainable and digital future: the reliance on permanent magnets made from rare earth elements (REE) in key technologies such as wind turbines and electric motors. More…
