The AID4GREENEST project has reached a significant milestone, celebrating its one-year anniversary while hosting its second Project Review and General Assembly meetings in Ghent, Belgium.
This innovative initiative focuses on tackling the green steel challenge, aiming to develop new AI-based rapid characterisation methods and modelling tools for the steel sector.
Over the past 12 months, AID4GREENEST has made substantial progress in its mission, with project partners collaborating on developing novel model-enabled methods and computational screening tools for rapid microstructural characterisation.
Additionally, partners are working to design a standardised database platform to store microstructural and related data, as well as to manufacture a prototype turbine shaft. All three of these objectives relate to the project’s three business cases being overseen by OCAS NV, ePotentia, and Reinosa Forgings and Castings.
During the meetings, attendees gained insights into the overall progress of the project and the next steps, with presentations focusing on standardisation, sustainable innovation processes, and clustering activities, among other topics.
AID4GREENEST is supported by an international consortium that includes coordinators IMDEA Materials Institute, EurA AG, Fraunhofer IWM, Ghent University, OCAS NV, the University of Liège, the University of Oulu, UNE – Asociación Española de Normalización, and Reinosa Forgings and Castings.
The project would like to thank all participants for their attendance, and in particular Ghent University for their generous hospitality during the event.
As AID4GREENEST looks toward the future, the project remains committed to overcoming challenges in creating a greener and more sustainable steel industry. With continued collaboration and innovation, the next 12 months promise to be just as impactful.
