The European Commission has announced allocations of large-scale renewable hydrogen projects ranging from 992 million euros to 15. The five-country projects plan to produce 2.2 million tonnes of renewable hydrogen over the next decade. This is enough to prevent more than 15 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions. This strategic move is part of a broader push for the EU to reduce its dependence on key sectors for decarbonization, such as fossil fuels and transportation, chemicals, ammonia and methanol production. Why are the important reasons for increasing renewable hydrogen capacity? As Europe faces the dual challenges of climate change and…

Humanity lies in the cusp of deep technological and social change driven by the rise of quantum technology. Earlier this year, a controversial (and subsequent withdrawal) statement by Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang claimed that “useful” quantum computing applications are still 20 years away. However, in reality, the quantum industry, which doesn’t focus solely on computing, has already gained considerable momentum. The pace of progress is accelerating. Currently, major announcements make headlines almost every week, gradually embedding quantum technology into public consciousness.…

BioFibreLoop: Bio-inspired, laser-based functionalisation on bio-based materials leads to recyclable functional garments. The EU textile industry is at a crucial turning point in terms of sustainable production and rapid adaptation to consumer demand for smart functions. The production of functional textiles often uses chemicals that cannot be recycled, which poses new challenges for the EU textile industry due to increasing regulations and strict bans on hazardous chemicals. Therefore, smart innovations are needed to help the textile industry eliminate the use of harmful chemicals and reduce its carbon footprint. BioFibreLoop will develop such innovations. The paper presents the first results of…

Whether mining marine microbiomes for natural crop enhancers or reviving the value of Irish-grown wool through bioeconomy innovations, these interdisciplinary projects are redefining what agricultural resilience and rural regeneration can look like in a climate-challenged world. Agriculture, a cornerstone of global food production and rural economies, is increasingly under pressure from a combination of environmental stressors and shifting market demands. Climate change, with its unpredictable weather patterns, extreme events, and growing frequency of pests and diseases, poses significant challenges to crop and livestock production. At the same time, the need for more sustainable practices has never been greater—farming systems must…
