A prototype cooling tower to avoid Legionella, an 'app' to check the state of photovoltaic installations, an analysis of the life cycle of solar panels, the development of hydrogen as a fuel and energy vector, a model to manage the Electrical demand and use of residential water to cool buildings are some of the objectives of the research projects that the Polytechnic of Cartagena has proposed today to the Community to promote the transition towards a more sustainable energy model.
The director of Energy, Industrial and Mining Activity, Esther Marín, met this afternoon with researchers from the Universidad Politécnica de Cartagena (UPCT) to learn about the R & D projects that CARM wants to promote as part of its Plan Energética 2016-2020, which includes 105 measures and has a budget of 400 million euros.
"All the projects that we have been exposed are very interesting and we want to push them through a collaboration agreement," said the director general, who has been accompanied by the Vice Rector of Research, Beatriz Miguel.
The UPCT has also shown interest in integrating into the Community's energy efficiency plan in public buildings, with which it wants to reduce electricity consumption by 450% in 450 official buildings.
