ECOS is looking for experts in the field of data centres to support our research on scientifically backed, green solutions to increase their sustainability by addressing energy consumption and circularity issues, among other topics.
Decarbonising how we heat and cool our homes is a central part of the transition to a low-carbon built environment. Responsible for a staggering 80% of the energy consumed by EU households, less than one-quarter of that comes from renewables. Most heating and cooling is still powered by fossil fuels – but that must change. ECOS has joined forces with a new partner to help make it happen: the Cool Heating Coalition.
ECOS is looking for experts in the field of plastic pellet pollution and more specifically on methods to estimate plastic pellet losses to represent and defend environmental interests in the development of standards and related policies.

More than nine out of ten European households have a washing machine. While their energy efficiency has improved over the years, their overall sustainability still leaves a lot to be desired. Ensuring these appliances last for a long time is crucial if we want to manage global resources sustainably. This can be achieved by testing such products properly before they enter the market. With a new test methodology for washing machines in the pipeline, this could be just around the corner. Here’s how one new standard could help to make it happen.

Home gas leaks more than doubled, on average, when best-selling models of cooking hobs were supplied with hydrogen blended with fossil gas under normal household conditions, compared to tests using fossil gas only. The same test on household boilers saw leaks rise by an average of 20%. Have we finally reached the end of the road for the hype of hydrogen in our homes? Read on to find out why hydrogen for domestic use is a dead end.
