Project ‘Living Lab’ for a more sustainable city

Title: Project ‘Living Lab’ for a more sustainable city
Description: Since Matosinhos is aiming to become a sustainable city, it has created and introduced the ‘Living Lab’ project to test solutions for lower carbon dioxide emissions, to rise the energetic efficiency and to reduce the city’s polluting emissions. The overall goal of the project and the city is to develop environmentally friendly and ecologic technology. The envisioned technology encompasses a range of innovations, such as lamps that measure CO2 emissions, pavements that reduce vehicles’ speed without the driver’s intervention, a bicycle sharing system connected to the public transportation system, real-time accounting of carbon dioxide emissions saved with intelligent mobility, or a house covered in solar panels that follows the movement of the sun and stores energy. These are some of the technological innovations, developed by more than 18 partners, that will be implemented under this project. ‘Living Lab’ is being funded by the Ministry of Environment.
