Graphene is sustainable
Graphene Flagship Work Package Leader Maria Smolander from VTT highlights graphene applications for a more sustainable future.
The Graphene Flagship delivers concrete opportunities for innovation to address some of the major societal challenges in Europe. However, this effort would be meaningless without focusing heavily on sustainable development. Overall, our projects contribute to 11 of the 15 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and we believe that graphene and layered materials will play a key role in the green revolution.
The Graphene Flagship, hand-in-hand with many institutions, enterprises and governments around the world, have pledged to work towards the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the EU Green Deal.
Our sustainable research across Europe is diverse in both discipline and scale, but with less than ten years to go before 2030, the need for new technologies to ensure sustainable access to energy and water has never been greater. To this end, the Graphene Flagship is paying more attention to sustainability than ever, focusing many of our industry-led Spearhead Projects and a broad range of our research initiatives and commercial endeavors on developing innovative solutions for a greener, more sustainable future. Among them, several concentrate on SDGs 6 and 7: clean water and sanitation and affordable and clean energy.
