The Sotacarbo Research Center is the flagship of the Clean Energy Technology Cluster wanted by the Ministry of Economic Development and Sardinia Region. The inauguration in 2008 of this ultra-modern Research Center, built in the buildings of the old Material Warehouse, ensured innovative content to the industrial archaeology operation carried out by the Municipality of Carbonia in the former Serbariu Mine. The Sotacarbo Research Center is now an international benchmark in the fields of technological innovation and clean energy research: since 2014 it has been part of the Eccsel network, which includes the 15 most advanced research centers in Europe on CO2 capture and storage. It will be possible to visit plants, laboratories and office areas.
