This supercomputer, which quadruples the capacity of TEIDE HPC, is at the service of science and research, and can also be used by companies, such as audiovisual companies, which require large data storage and speed of analysis. The Instituto Tecnológico de Energías Renovables (ITER) has put into operation the Anaga supercomputer, one of the most powerful supercomputers in the country, with which Tenerife will make a quality leap in its offer for the implementation of technology companies on the island. This equipment is a fundamental part of the ALiX project for the development of infrastructures aimed at the creation of…

The sustainable interventions developed by this European project on the island of Fogo (Cape Verde) received during this week the visit of the Director General for European Affairs and Managing Authority of the Interreg MAC 2014-2020 Program, who noted the excellent results achieved. The Institute of Technology and Renewable Energies (ITER) and the Tenerife Energy Agency (AIET), both entities under the Innovation Area of the Cabildo of Tenerife, directed by Enrique Arriaga, were the promoters of this project, the results of which continue to arouse great interest. The SOSTURMAC projectproject, co-financed by the 1st call of the INTERREG MAC 2014-2020…
The results of this study, which continues the work carried out within the EDUCA CO2 initiative of the MONITOR Network of Excellence, will make it possible to determine the best ventilation, comfort and efficiency strategies to be implemented by the center. Is air quality related to the probability of COVID-19 contagion, comfort and efficiency, what happens if we close the windows and theCO2 we breathe accumulates? These and many other questions related to the strategies of sustainable architecture are answered during the days of measurements and tests that the Department of Sustainable Architecture of ITER, an entity under the Cabildo…
The prestigious scientific journal Applied Sciences has recently published the scientific article of ITER and ULL, which presents to the scientific community the first results of the research line, promoted by the European project MACLAB-PV. The research group of the Photovoltaic Cells Laboratory of the Institute of Technology and Renewable Energy (ITER), an entity dependent on the Cabildo Insular de Tenerife, has developed a new method of encapsulation at low temperature that improves the stability of photovoltaic devices based on perovskite structures. The results of this research, developed jointly by ITER and the departments of Industrial Engineering and Specific Didactics…
During the months of May and June, the Institute of Technology and Renewable Energy (ITER), an entity under the Cabildo of Tenerife, participates in numerous public and scientific events of reference. These actions contribute to the fulfillment of one of the Institute’s founding objectives, that of disseminating and sharing scientific content related to its areas of action, transferring its R&D results and promoting public awareness. MINIFERIAS DE LA CIENCIA Y LA INNOVACIÓN EN CANARIAS 2022 During the month of May, a thousand members of the school community participated in the activities organized by ITER in the Miniferias de la Ciencia…
The Institute of Technology and Renewable Energy (ITER) and the Tenerife Energy Agency (AIET) organize, in the frame of the European project SEAFUEL, the Seminar “Hydrogen, the future of local transportation” on November 4th at 11:00 am in the auditorium of ITER’s Visitor Centre in Tenerife. The purpose of the seminar is to showcase hydrogen technology, and communicate the commitments the both public and private entities are willing to make for its implementation on the island. The aim is to build environmental awareness and promote policies based on renewable energies that will help achieve a carbon-free transport system. Thus, the…
The arrival of this vehicle in Tenerife is one of the milestones of the project that will demonstrate the technological, social and economic viability of the implementation of renewable fuels in transportation. The car that burns zero fossil fuels produces zero pollution, runs on the same chemical reaction that powers rockets, and gets twice as much distance as a Tesla. The partners and associate partners in the Canary Islands of the European project SEAFUEL, the Institute of Technology and Renewable Energies (ITER), the Tenerife Energy Agency (AIET), the Cabildo de Tenerife and Hyundai Canarias, presented yesterday the first fuel cell…
The island of Tenerife will participate through the European project SEAFUEL, which includes the Institute of Technology and of Renewable Energies, the Tenerife Energy Agency and the Cabildo de Tenerife, in what has been called the “Triple Alliance of Hydrogen”. GenComm, SEAFUEL and HUGE,, three green hydrogen projects encompassing Europe are seeking to overcome the issue of how to connect stakeholders, end users, policymakers and communities interested in hydrogen technologies. The integration of the three projects will lead to major international change and will fast track the sector coupling of renewables, allowing expansion of renewables investment across Europe. The alliance…
The Port Authority of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Hyundai Canarias and Enagas join as associate partners to this project, which aims to make Tenerife the first Spanish island to host a facility for the generation of sustainable hydrogen for transport The SEAFUEL project, in which the Institute of Technology and of Renewable and the Tenerife Energy Agency participate as partners, both entities in the area of Roads, Mobility and Innovation of the Cabildo Insular de Tenerife, led by Councillor Enrique Arriaga, started at the end of 2017 with a budget of 3,497,632.98 and with the ambitious objective of using the…
The Institute of Technology and Renewable Energies (ITER) participates in the European project “Energy Efficiency Laboratories (EELabs)” that coordinates the Institute of Astrophysics of the Canary Islands (IAC) and aims to maximize the energy efficiency of new lighting technologies – mainly LEDs – while minimizing the effect of light pollution and sky brightness at the natural ecosystems of Macaronesia. The loss of darkness due to the growing use of Artificial Night Lighting (ANL) has a dangerous impact on natural ecosystems. Although this light can be so faint that we humans can often not detect it, is has been shown that…
