MG has been awarded a grant from Swedish Institute for the project WomenLed ClimAct.The project is carried out in partnership with four Turkish organizations: Kapaklı Municipality, Lüleburgaz Governorship, Edirne Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and the Campus Civil Society Association. Together, these partners combine expertise in engineering, sustainability, governance, civil society, and entrepreneurship. The main aim of the project is to strengthen women’s leadership capacities in climate action and sustainability. To achieve this, the project will establish Women’s Climate Councils, provide structured training, and create opportunities for women to actively contribute to local and national climate policies. In addition, the project contributes to Türkiye’s Climate Change Strategy (2024–2030) and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Key activities include training sessions with Swedish experts on advocacy, media literacy, and policy-making, as well as workshops on renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, and urban sustainability. The project also involves the establishment of three Women’s Climate Councils and the implementation of nine women-led pilot climate projects. Knowledge exchange and networking activities between Türkiye and Sweden will further strengthen the project’s impact.

The Alg4Hyd project directly addresses the core objectives of the CETP Horizon call by pioneering a transformative, cost-effective, and carbon-negative biological hydrogen (bio-H2) production process utilising microalgae. This initiative aims to revolutionise sustainable H2 generation, a critical step in transitioning from fossil fuel-dependent “grey H2” to renewable “green H2,” a key priority within the call’s sustainable energy carriers module. Hydrogen (H2), a clean energy vector with zero direct carbon emissions, is pivotal for a sustainable energy future. However, the current reliance on fossil fuels for “grey H2” production results in substantial CO2 emissions. While water electrolysis presents a carbon-neutral alternative, its current contribution to global H2 production remains limited due to energy intensity and cost. Alg4Hyd proposes a paradigm shift: bio-H2 production using green microalgae, leveraging their unique photosynthetic capabilities. BioH2, production: From algal bioengineering to process engineering Alg4Hyd will develop and optimize bio-H2 photoproduction using genetically engineered strains of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (C. reinhardtii) and Chlorella sp., focusing on enhancing light-to-H2 conversion efficiency. This ambitious endeavor will be accomplished through a multidisciplinary approach, integrating molecular biology, systems biology, metabolic engineering, process engineering, and application-focused research.

MG has been awarded a grant from CET Partnership joint call 2024, consisting of 7 partners from Germany, Sweden, and Belgium. The overall aim of the project BREAD is the development of a sub-Megawatt (MW) scale heating and cooling system that will provide heat at temperatures above 250 °C and cooling around 0 °C and below. It will smartly integrate heat pump, heat exchanger and heat storage technology. BREAD proposed technology The project BREAD addresses the development of a sub-Megawatt (MW) scale heating and cooling system that will provide heat at temperatures above 250 °C (up to 400 °C) and cooling around 0 °C and below. It will smartly integrate heat pump, heat exchanger and heat storage technology. In the future, green electricity will play a significant role as a “primary” energy source for industries, and new innovations are needed to accomplish the transformation of industrial electrification. BREAD has ambition to go beyond state-of-the-art in the following fields:– Reversed Brayton Cycle Heat Pump for Sub-MW-range (from TRL3 to TRL5)– Compressor/Expander (Turbomachine) (from TRL3 to TRL5)– High-Temperature and Low-Temperature Thermal Energy Storage (from TRL3 to TRL5)

MG has received the grants from Vinnova within the Vinnova Planning program for the proposal “FUSION: Flexible Utilization of SeamlessIntegrated Smart Infrastructure For Optimized ENergy in Buildings”. The project addresses the “Horizon Europe (HE) call HORIZON-CL5-2026-02-D4-02“. At the heart of the project is the development of advanced digital tools and technologies that enhance the interaction between buildings and their occupants, as well as the broader energy ecosystem. The project integrates AI-driven analytics, IoT-based monitoring systems, and predictive maintenance algorithms into a unified platform, enabling real-time control and optimization of energy use, indoor environmental quality, and building performance.
