JRC Seville – new net-positive emissions Headquarters

“The European Commission begins construction of its first net-positive emissions building in Seville, Spain, this summer. A symbol of sustainability and innovation, the new Seville site of the Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC) will fully embody the New European Bauhaus principles. 

The project aims to go beyond carbon neutrality by offsetting CO₂ from the atmosphere, primarily through generating solar energy that far exceeds its own operational needs. It will be the first EU institutional building of this scale to achieve net-positive emissions.
