No Winter Slumber for HOUSEFUL dissemination
Members of the CARTIF Technology Center travelled throughout Europe to present HOUSEFUL at a number of events in Germany and Spain
Face-to-face interactions are one of the most effective ways to spread new ideas. So why not joining meetings with relevant stakeholders when these ideas can have a positive impact on the environment, such as the HOUSEFUL solutions and overall strategy?
Mrs Dolores Hidalgo and Mr Sergio Sanz-Bedate from HOUSEFUL partner CARTIF Technology Center have presented the project at a number of events in the past weeks, namely:
- Progress in biomethane mobility (15 – 17 October 2019 in Schwäbisch Hall, Germany), a three-day conference aimed to bridge the gap between the technology on biomethane production and the end user. It addressed the international scientific community as well as practitioners, and it presented the status quo and new and modern technologies in the field of alternative biofuels. The conference with company exhibition received around 150 international participants and offered an ideal opportunity for knowledge exchange. Mr Sergio Sanz-Bedate had the opportunity to present the work “Separation of CO2 for biogas upgrading using gas-liquid membrane-based absorption systems“, showing to the attendance the technology that will be implemented in two of the HOUSEFUL demo-buildings to produce biomethene as a new energy source in cities.
