The 12th Biobased Battle was organized by Living Lab Biobased Brazil. Students from Avans University of Applied Sciences in Breda and Brazilian universities UFOP - Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto, Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora, and Universidade Federal de São João del-Rei - UFSJ participated online. Prof. Julia Mendes (UFJF) asked students to pitch an idea to reduce energy and material consumption and CO₂ emissions in the construction sector. The competition followed a “pressure cooker” format: research on day one, solution selection on day two, and pitches to a jury on day three. The second-place group proposed replacing concrete to reduce the energy demand for production. The winning group proposed integrated sustainable energy solutions into buildings, including CO₂ capture and bioenergy generation for HVAC systems. Special thanks to our jury from MNEXT (Maddalena Logrieco, Mithyzi Leal, and Neha John) and to the tutors Guilherme Reis and Erivelto Souza.
Congratulations to all the students! 👏 🏆
