The hide challenge of the eolic energy: what we do with the wind turbines blades?

Today I would like to talk to you about a problem that is increasingly being discussed, but which still surprises many people: what happens to the blades of the wind turbines when they are no longer useful? Because yes, they also "retire", and when they do, they generate waste that is difficult to...

Innovate shouldn´t be like untangling a daisy

When an organisation decides to invest in innovation, it often activates not only a technical or strategic process, but also an internal dynamic that complicates decision-making. What at first appears to be a clear commitment soon becomes a chain of uncertainties, cross-validations and multiple...

Anaerobic microorganisms: the invisible revolution for the industry of the future

These organisms, which thrive in environments without oxygen, have been used for decades in processes such as anaerobic...

Why monitoring rural territories

Rural territories often struggle with challenges that can hold back their growth and development. Infrastructure gaps, limited job opportunities, environmental risks, and the need for greater social inclusion are just some of the issues they face.

Interoperability in Industry 5.0: the Key Role of FIWARE

In the world of software development, interoperability is the ability of different devices, systems, and applications to work together in a coordinated manner, much like musicians in the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, regardless of their origin or technology. This concept is essential in digital...

When machines learn to communicate: the role of ontologies in the interoperability

In a previous blog post, we talked about the importance of interoperability and how it allows different systems to communicate with each other without barriers. We used the metaphor of the digital Tower of Babel to explain the challenges that arise when multiple technologies, devices and platforms...

FUSILLI, much more than a project

Four years ago I first entered the complex world of the food system. I didn´t quite know what to expect. I considered it a far field, with technical terms and debates that seemed to belong only to experts in the field. Today, after all this time, every time I have the opportunity to walk around...

Consumer energy flexibility

There are two things that have nothing to do with each other but that in real, they have to: the perplexity of a roe deer in the foothills of the Torozos hills when she founds a fence surrounding a photovoltaic park and that the 64%1 of the Spanish people do not know...
