Carbon Garage is a new and unique sustainable development learning and project space by Metropolia University of Applied Sciences. The goal for Carbon Garage is to create collaboration possibilities, enhance sustainability education and concretely advance climate change mitigation and sustainable development solutions through collaborative innovation projects.
The practical collaborative innovation projects organized at Carbon Garage support companies in their green transition and bring sustainability solutions into action, as well as improve sustainability expertise and advance the utilization of new innovations. Carbon Garage offers companies and research institutes a place for networking and finding future sustainability experts and potential employees.
For Metropolia students, Carbon Garage is a learning and project space where future sustainability experts are created. The open learning environment and new educational methods offer unique possibilities to network, get practical work life experiences as well as develop sustainability expertise.
Collaboration platforms have an important role to play in pursuing sustainable and carbon-neutral future. There is power in unity and collaboration when creating new solutions for better tomorrow.
Supporting companies in green transition
The Carbon Garage cooperation platform is part of the Carbon Busters project, funded from the European Regional Development Fund. The project explores solutions to achieve carbon neutrality goals by increasing and enhancing carbon sinks as well as other carbon capturing technologies. Further, the aim is to reduce carbon emissions using energy and material efficient operations. Solutions will be explored in a life-cycle conscious way.
The project addresses climate challenges of SMEs with innovation projects in collaboration with Metropolia experts and students, as well as project partners VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland and Finnish Meteorological Institute. Knowledge and solutions for climate change mitigation exist but the actions are few and far between. At Carbon Garage, concrete climate actions are developed together.
