2011 Met 10 years of the creation of the MatgasResearch Center, a project pioneer established itself as a strategic alliance and a model business management, born from the collaboration of a private entity, metallic carbides of the multinational group Air Products; and two public bodies, the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas and the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. During his ten years of life, and with a budget of more than 15 million euros in 2010, Matgas integrates research, technological development and demonstration activities in the areas of energy, sustainability and the environment, organizing their work around 7 lines of research: study and development of technologies focused on the search for new solutions for sustainable energy, including the capture and application of carbon dioxide (CO2); wastewater treatment and the search for alternative energy such as hydrogen, through a combination of modelling and experimentation. Currently, the Research Centre is directed by Lourdes Vega.
