Building future opportunities
Environmental and Climate Change-related Research and Technology Programme financed by the EEA Grants is reaching and end, but its effects extend to other European calls.
Boosting 'green' start-ups
CDTI organized a forum to bring technology start-ups related to environment into contact with investors, within the EEA Grants framework.
162 projects for the environment
At the present moment when fighting against global warming has become a priority all over the world, the fact that 176 Spanish companies have embarked on R&D projects about environment, energy efficiency, renewable energies and climate change thanks to the EEA Grants is really good news.
Spain and Norway, hand in hand in Europe

Fish good for consumers and for the environment
Two Spanish companies, Dow Chemical and Ulma Packaging, are developing an innovative research project to reduce economic and environmental cost of fish containers, with the EEA Grants funding.
Spanish Big Data for saving energy worldwide
Knowing how much electricity uses a company to produce every single one of its products. That is the energy efficiency key for Cysnergy, a small company from Valencia (Spain) which, thanks to the EEA Grants, is developing a pioneer project at world scale that would allow companies to save up to 40% in their electricity bill.
Renewable energy for all and sustainable
To make better use of the electricity generated by renewables there is an unresolved issue: the development of efficient energy-storage systems. Spanish company Innotecno has embarked on a project to develop a prototype of redox flow battery and the EEA Grants are supporting this effort.
Spanish technology for Smart Cities
Remote management of a green and sustainable city from a computer. This is the objective of the research project the Spanish company Wairbut is developing with the EEA Grants help.
Norway and Spain, a strategic long-term commitment in R&D
Norway and Spain are committed to maintain the excellent outcomes of their cooperation in energy and environment R&D beyond the EEA Grants.
The future of the fight against marine pollution
Five million tonnes of oil are dumped every year in the oceans. Having all the facts before taking action can mean the difference between a safe sea activity and an environmental disaster. For that reason, a small Spanish engineering company is developing, with the EEA Grants help, a new generation system for optimized decision making in preventing and fighting marine pollution.
100 more projects for a sustainable world
CDTI launched the Second Call Approved projects within the EEA Grants Environment and Climate Change Programme. 101 projects from 110 Spanish companies with two aims: reducing the energy bill and caring for the environment.
A new life for radioactive lands
Have you ever thought about the destiny of the land occupied by a nuclear power plant when closed? Can it be reused? Not until now, but two Spanish companies, Ensa y Sereco Gestión, with EEA Grants financing, are researching and developing an effective technology to eliminate the radiological element of contaminated lands and materials in order to restore the contaminated area as much as possible.
An innovative solution to the storage problem for renewable energy
The storage of energy from turbines is one of the main problems of wind energy. Trying to find a solution,
Técnicas Reunidas is developing, with the EEA Grants help, a storage system which increases efficiency, reduces cost and helps the environment.
The small revolution of the eco-friendly leather jackets
The leather process required to make a jacket takes three months and thousand litres of water and chemicals. Spanish company La Doma is well aware because eight generations of the same family have been tanning leather through a process that has not changed a bit. Now, with the EEA Grants help, they are developing a prototype which will revolutionise the sector.
18 million boost for green technology
Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway are providing €18 million to the environmental and climate change-related research and technology programme in Spain. This is set to be a win-win for the three donor countries, Spain and the environment.
Northern funds to improve Southern air
154. This is the number of projects –with 171 participating companies- submitted to the second open call of Environment and Climate Change Programme managed by the
Centro Centre for Technical Industrial Development (CDTI) and financed by EEA Grants. A great success and good news for Spanish environment.
