Launch event of the European HI_MOV project for sustainable mobility


 Posted on by juan.silva@ctag.com

Hydrogen stands out as one of the most relevant options for zero-emission mobility in order to meet decarbonization targets. “HI_MOV Corredor Tecnológico Transfronterizo de Movilidad con Hidrógeno Renovable”, the European project led by CTAG, seeks to address the technological and infrastructural challenges for its implementation in the Galicia-North Portugal Euroregion.

The objective of the project is to create a cross-border ecosystem to boost the hydrogen value chain to promote sustainable mobility in the region. Over the next 36 months, it will focus on analysing the potential of renewable hydrogen, improving technological capacity building, and developing and demonstrating the viability of hydrogen technology solutions in cross-border pilot tests.

The launch event took place this morning at CTAG’s facilities in O Porriño, attended by representatives of the Xunta de Galicia, POCTEP, AECT-GNP, CCDR-NORTE, INEGA, USC, Universidade do Minho, ENERGYLAB, PIEP, Petrotec and Universidade do Porto.

El pasado 31 de octubre, celebramos el evento de cierre del proyecto AUTOPESCA, ejecutado en los últimos meses con ORPAGU. Ha sido un buen momento para comentar ideas, resultados y desafíos futuros, así como explicar las acciones realizadas.

AUTOPESCA ha tenido como objetivo integrar diferentes tecnologías a los procesos pesqueros, especialmente en lo que respecta a:

1.- la simulación y diseño de post-procesos en fábrica.

2.- el soporte ergonómico al pelado de tiburones a través de la robótica y la mecatrónica.

3.- el soporte ergonómico a las tareas de carga/descarga a través de exoesqueletos.

En esta línea, CTAG ha trabajado para poder transferir conocimiento de otros sectores de cara a resolver estos enormes retos.

Gracias al Ministerio de Agricultura, Pesca y Alimentación de España por su apoyo económico, y al equipo de ORPAGU por tan destacable experiencia.
