Driving Innovation with Public Funding

How far can a project with public funding and innovation go?

A project can go much further when it combines an innovative vision with public funding, as this allows it to expand its scope, accelerate its development, and maximize its impact. At Ferrovial, we leverage public funding to strengthen our strategic projects, developed in national and international consortiums that reinforce our innovation ecosystem.

These initiatives connect us with multiple European programs—such as Horizon Europe—and national programs—such as the Recovery Plan and ERDF funds—promoting solutions in areas as diverse as decarbonization, technological innovation, smart mobility, energy, and new construction methods. Below, we present a selection of our most relevant projects.

Projects

CO2MCHRETE

FERROVIAL CORPORACION, S.A.U participates in the consortium project CO2MCHRETE entitled CO2 MINERALIZED IN CEMENTS AND CONCRETES FROM THERMALLY ACTIVATED WASTE AND SLAGS, with a total budget of €2,271,406.00, and whose implementation has received a grant from CDTI amounting to €1,350,106.42, under the 2024 call of the “SCIENCE AND INNOVATION MISSIONS PROGRAMME”, which is part of the KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER AND COLLABORATION PROGRAMME of the STATE PLAN FOR SCIENTIFIC, TECHNICAL AND INNOVATION RESEARCH 2024–2027.

CO2MCHRETE develops innovative solutions for CO₂ capture and mineralization through the valorization of metallurgical slags and construction and demolition waste, generating cements and concretes with a lower environmental footprint. The project incorporates phase change materials to improve the thermal performance of buildings, promoting both the decarbonization of the cement and construction sector and the circular economy. It brings together leading companies and research centers to jointly advance key technologies for more sustainable construction.
