AmnisPura in 3rd place of CleanTech Camp
Posted on October 8th, 2021
Amnis Pura, a spin-off from LEPABE, participated in the CleanTech Camp with its PSA hydrogen purification technology developed at LEPABE, which is 15% more efficient than other market solutions.
CleanTech Camp is a start-up program organized by EIT InnoEnergy aimed at sustainable solutions. Attendees incorporate various masterclasses and workshops aimed at business creation.
From the 15 start-ups selected for the 6th edition of the program, 6 were selected to present their project at the final event, which took place in Barcelona on September 16th, 2021, where Amnis Pura won the 3rd place.
The full event can be watched here. Amnis Pura presentation starts at 01:05:10.
Congratulations!

Carlos Costa interviewed by Ciência com Impacto
Posted on September 24th, 2021
Professor Carlos Costa, Senior researcher from LEPABE, was interviewed by the "Ciência com Impacto" podcast.
Here, he talks about the role of innovation in chemistry which, in his opinion, will be a fundamental piece in the development of new technologies for mitigation of climate change, more sustainable processes, and to support the circular economy. Innovation is creating knowledge, technologies and products that can be used for the well-being of Humanity.

Associate Laboratory status for ALICE approved
Posted on March 1st, 2021
ALICE, Associate Laboratory for Innovation in Chemical Engineering, has been approved for Associate Laboratory Status. The ALICE consortium, is composed by CEFT, LEPABE and LSRE-LCM, three R&D Units based at the Department of Chemical Engineering at FEUP.
The Associate Laboratory status is attributed to institutions or consortia of scientific institutions that make institutional commitments to carry out the country's scientific and technological policy objectives, in a very competitive call. The status also grants complementary budget.
Congratulations to all ALICE members for achieving this remarkable result! Know more here.
