CEN Workshop on 'Raman devices calibration, verification and twinning protocols' was kicked off on 28 February 2024.
The objective of this Workshop is the development of one CEN Workshop Agreement intends to raise awareness and alignment about the key role of SAF in the transition to carbon neutrality in the aviation sector, as well as to explain the environmental benefits.
The CEN Workshop on "Determination of 3-hydroxyvalerate content in PHBV by nuclear magnetic resonance" stems from the ongoing Horizon 2020 upPE-T project, which aims at upcycling recalcitrant oil-based plastics by bioconversion into biodegradable bioplastic for food and drink packaging production. upPE-T includes sustainable strategies as an alternative for plastic chemical degradation, improving PE and PET depolymerization through enzymatic engineering to positively impact food and drink packaging recycling rate and achieving the European Union expected impact.
The forthcoming CEN workshop will focus on the revision of CWA 17815:2021, titled “Materials characterisation - Terminology, metadata and classification,” based on insights from the European project NanoMECommons.
The CEN Workshop on “Evaluation of Process Intensification of Biorefining Processes for Economic and Sustainability Viability” was kicked off on 5 October 2023.
EUBsuperhub is a European project funded by the European Union's H2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101033916. The project supports the evolvement of the certification process in Europe by the development of a scalable methodology to view, assess and monitor the buildings through their lifecycle, in a virtual marketplace.
On 18 April, the first G7 Standardization Summit will take place in Rome, Italy, in the context of the country’s presidency. The event is organized by UNI, the Italian National Standardization Body, under the theme ‘How standards can support glocal social, green and digital policies: the human-centric perspective of the G7 National Standards Organizations’.
Yesterday, 26 March, the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) and the European General Galvanizers Association (EGGA-Galvanizing Europe) signed a partnership agreement that will foster collaboration and align the interests of the galvanizing industry in Europe with the standardization ecosystem.
This workshop is motivated by the currently ongoing Horizon 2020 AGRO2CIRCULAR project (TERRITORIAL CIRCULAR SYSTEMIC SOLUTION FOR THE UPCYCLING OF RESIDUES FROM THE AGRIFOOD SECTOR), whose general objective is the implementation of the first territorial systemic solution for the upcycling of most relevant residues in the agrifood sector (fruits&vegetables and plastic multilayers) into high added value products, powered by a digital tool and constructed upon a systemic approach with high replicable/scalable potential.
The Dutch Standardization Institute (NEN) has initiated the establishment of a European Technical Committee (CEN/TC 474) that will develop European Standards across the CCUS (carbon capture, utilization and storage) value chain. With broad participation from CEN Members and European organizations, the committee kicked off in Brussels and finalized its scope and first work programme.
