About the Project: AC-Comp
AC-Comp is a Research-to-Business (R2B) project at Aalto University focused on one of the most energy-intensive operations in the industry: gas compression. Compression accounts for 10% of industrial electricity use in the EU, costing over €4 billion annually. At the same time, 20-50% of industrial energy is ultimately lost as waste heat.

Imagine concrete that not only survives wildfires and extreme weather, but heals itself and absorbs carbon from the air. Scientists at USC have created an AI model called Allegro-FM that simulates billions of atoms at once, helping design futuristic materials like carbon-neutral concrete. This tech could transform cities by reducing emissions, extending building lifespans, and mimicking the ancient durability of Roman concrete—all thanks to a massive leap in AI-driven atomic modeling.
