How standards drive Europe’s transition towards Net-Zero

Brussels, 13 December - How can Europe successfully generate and implement carbon-free electricity to support its climate neutrality and Green Deal plans? On 5 December, a stakeholders’ workshop organized by CEN, CENELEC, and DKE explored how standards can support the achievement of an All-Electric Society and the transition of Europe towards Net-Zero.

CEN Workshop Agreement on “Soil-sediment-water system - Solutions to deal with PMT/vPvM substances”

The Horizon Europe research projects PROMISCES, ZeroPM and SCENARIOS all aim at developing solutions to tackle the various challenges concerning the detection, risk assessment, remediation, and prevention of PMT (persistent, mobile, toxic)/vPvM (very persistent, very mobile) substances from entering the soil-sediment-water system. The CEN Workshop Agreement (CWA) is intended to present a collection of these solutions and is targeted at all stakeholders active in the field of PMT management, whether they are researchers, public authorities, problem owners, water utilities, soil/brownfield actors or companies developing market-ready solutions.

CEN Workshop on 'Processes for ink-based mono and multi-material fabrication of additive manufactured implants'

This workshop is motivated by the currently ongoing Horizon 2020 INKplant project (INK-BASED HYBRID MULTIMATERIAL FABRICATION OF NEXT GENERATION IMPLANTS), whose general objective is the future incorporation of additive manufactured scaffolds into the daily routine of medical practice, so that the whole society benefits from personalized regenerative therapies.

CEN Workshop on methodology to improve the recyclability rate of Critical Raw Materials from cars

This CWA is related to two aspects: the identification of Critical Raw Materials (CRMs) embedded in car electronics and the information sharing among all the actors involved (for several reasons and with different roles) in automotive supply chains. This CWA defines a method to support all the automotive actors in identifying the presence of CRMs in car electronics and disassembling/separating/recycling these components in a proper way. The final aim is improving the recyclability rate of CRMs from cars, create a market for secondary CRMs and reuse CRMs in new high-value applications (possibly within the automotive sector).

Methodology for the construction of omics-related graphs from animal, vegetal and environmental omic data

The GLOMICAVE project is developing a cloud-based genotype to phenotype platform – relying on Big Data Analytics (BDA) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques – and using large-scale publicly available and experimental omics datasets, enhanced with an automatic processing of scientific literature.

CEN Workshop on the Evaluation of Process Intensification of Biorefining Processes for Economic and Sustainability Viability

The objective of process intensification (PI) in the context of biorefining operations is to lead to a reduction in operation costs, feedstock and energy resources, greenhouse gas emissions and higher yields, while increasing operation safety, by concentrating on technologies which can intensify processing methods and create an integrated biorefinery concept. PI methods in general and specifically for biorefining operations have not featured strongly in the vast standards literature.

CEN Workshop Fatigue4Light advanced and fast fatigue testing methods

This CEN/WS intends to develop two CWAs (Workshop Agreement). The planned Workshop intends to deliver 2 different documents related to obtaining in a limited time the materials fatigue properties. The first one, so called self-heating measurements, is based on the evolution of temperature measurements under cyclic loading. The second one, so called stiffness method measurements, is based on the evolution of the damage during cyclic loading.
