Project Details
Description
ASCCENT is an HORIZON Coordination and Support Actions that places UNIZG FCE (Croatia) in the forefront of the action for climate-neutral and sustainable EU, enabling contribution to net-zero of hard-to-abate construction sector, through networking for excellence with EU leaders from Denmark, Belgium, Sweden and France in the field of active storage/uptake of captured carbon in construction products. Project is based on the Net Zero Industry Act's recognition of carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) as a strategic net-zero technology that plays a pivotal role in mitigating climate change. Building up on the excel of the EU in CO2 capture, ASCCENT focusses on strengthening UNIZG FCE research profile in its ability to perform objective validation through sustainability assessment of net-zero technologies using state-of-the-art digital tools by twinning with Aalborg University, Denmark, leading research institution in life-cycle assessment (LCA) and life-cycle thinking (LCT). Due to UNIZG FCEs’ regional network, these results will have a spillover effect on important stakeholders in the ESEE region.
