DescarbonIA, winner of CIRCE Talents 2025

DescarbonIA was named the winning project of CIRCE Talents 2025, a new internal initiative launched by the CIRCE Technology Centre after the summer to foster disruptive innovation, cross-functional collaboration and the development of proposals with high technology transfer potential.

The grand final took place at La Finca de la Alquería on Friday, 12 December, during the CIRCE Experience Christmas Edition 2025. The three finalist projects — DescarbonIA, MIRaN and Revalora+ — delivered their final pitches to convince both the jury and the audience vote. All three proposals stood out for their high technical level and clear applicability, highlighting the strength and quality of CIRCE’s internal talent.

DescarbonIA: faster, smarter and more informed decarbonisation

Although the vote was extremely close — as acknowledged by the jury during the final verdict — DescarbonIA ultimately took first place thanks to its comprehensive approach and its ability to accelerate decision-making processes in decarbonisation projects.

DescarbonIA is a techno-economic pre-feasibility tool based on natural language, optimisation models and operational scenarios. It enables the analysis of multiple use cases, including hydrogen production, process electrification through boiler replacement, and the production of sustainable molecules such as ammonia and methanol. Its approach facilitates the comparative evaluation of technological and economic alternatives at early project stages.

Finalists: MIRaN and Revalora+

In addition to the winning project, the jury recognised two other finalist proposals with significant impact potential:

MIRaN is an intelligent platform that centralises and visualises information on renewable generation projects. It automates data extraction from official bulletins, standardises the information and displays it on an interactive map, making it easier to analyse and monitor each installation.

Revalora+ is a digital tool that connects sustainability, finance and the real estate sector by applying the EU Taxonomy for Sustainable Economic Activities in a practical way. It enables the automated generation of standardised reports (CSRD), integrating climate risk analysis, adaptation criteria, strategies aligned with higher-level frameworks, and performance monitoring through measurable targets.

All projects presented at CIRCE Talents 2025

In addition to the finalists, three other projects reached the semi-finals of CIRCE Talents, further demonstrating the diversity of capabilities within CIRCE and the organisation’s ability to address very specific challenges through technology, data and innovation:

SentinelEV: a protection system for electric vehicle charging points against cable theft and vandalism. It detects tampering or cutting attempts, activates alarms and sends alerts to operators with images and incident data, without the need to modify the charger.

Fraud Detection: a solution designed to identify anomalous consumption patterns in electricity meter readings and flag potential cases of manipulation. The approach relies on large-scale data processing and Transformer-based models applied to time series data.

Post Event Analyzer: a software tool that significantly reduces the time required to analyse incidents in the electricity and industrial sectors. It enables the management and synchronisation of oscillographic and event files, and includes an artificial intelligence module to automate incident analysis and generate PDF reports.

CIRCE Talents: collaborative innovation from within

Following the success of the Artificial Intelligence Olympiads, CIRCE Talents further consolidates an internal culture in which talent, technological ambition and teamwork are transformed into solutions that address major energy, industrial and environmental challenges.

Through this programme, CIRCE reinforces its commitment to empowering internal talent and creating a real space for new ideas with high transfer potential to emerge. This first edition has once again shown that the combination of multidisciplinary teams, a focus on relevant challenges and a strong collaborative culture leads to innovative, applicable solutions with a clear future outlook.
