Moeve and UPM Collaborate on Green Molecules Innovation
- The Green Molecules Innovation Chair focuses on biofuels and synthetic fuels.
- Projects include sustainable aviation fuels from organic waste and e-fuels using green hydrogen.
- The initiative promotes CO2 capture, green hydrogen production, and sustainable mobility.
- The chair supports joint training programs and knowledge sharing in the energy transition.
Overview
Moeve and the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM) have launched the Green Molecules Innovation Chair to advance research and training in green molecule technologies. This initiative aims to support the energy transition in sectors like heavy industry, aviation, and maritime transport.
Research Focus
The chair will develop sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) through two main pathways: second-generation biofuels from organic waste and used cooking oils, and synthetic fuels (e-fuels) using green hydrogen. It will also explore CO2 capture and transformation, green hydrogen production, and sustainable mobility.
Collaboration and Training
The agreement fosters collaboration between business and academia, promoting joint training programs and specialized education on energy transition challenges. It aims to enhance knowledge sharing and strengthen the innovation ecosystem through forums, workshops, and initiatives.
Public-Private Partnership
The chair exemplifies successful public-private partnerships, involving key figures from Moeve, UPM, and government representatives. It will also support the deployment of disruptive technologies like artificial intelligence, digital twins, and advanced robotics through strategic partnerships with startups and emerging companies.
