The Energy Commission of the Association of Chemical Companies of Tarragona (AEQT) has visited the facilities of the ICIQ with the aim of getting to know first-hand the decarbonisation project coordinated by the centre, as well as the technological and research facilities it makes available to the industry.
During the conference, ICIQ representatives presented the centre’s main lines of work in the field of energy transition and sustainability, highlighting the European industrial decarbonisation project for energy-intensive industries that are difficult to reduce CO₂. A strategic initiative, together with Eurecat and the URV, which consists of 4 mobile test units to test new technologies for capturing and using CO2 and which has the potential to transform not only the industry of the territory, but of the whole country.
The members of the commission, energy managers of the companies of the Association of Chemical Companies of Tarragona, have been able to learn about the design of the plants and how their operation is planned, thanks to the explanations of the head of the Industrial Decarbonization Unit of the ICIQ, Dra. Júlia Viladoms, the director of Eurecat’s Singular Projects Unit, Agustí Chico, and the director of Cirauqui engineering, Ernesto Cirauqui.
The visit also allowed the members of the Energy Commission to learn about the scientific and technological capacities of the ICIQ, including the advanced research laboratories and the infrastructures to support collaborative projects with industry.
The visit is part of the ICIQ’s desire to promote projects with a real impact on society and the competitiveness of the territory, reinforcing its role as a European reference center in green chemistry.
