The CircularPSP project unites eight leading Circular Economy cities across Europe to accelerate the transition to circular practices. By investing in R&D, the project aims to develop innovative solutions that empower municipalities, businesses, and individuals to adopt circular practices more effectively and frequently. Through a Follower Network, additional cities, regions, and organizations can engage with the project, promoting widespread collaboration and knowledge-sharing to drive impactful change towards a circular economy.
The REDOL project aims to transform cities into hubs for circularity by redesigning solid urban waste (SUW) value chains and implementing zero-residue strategies. Focused on five key waste streams—packaging, plastics, construction demolition waste, textiles, and electronic waste—REDOL integrates advanced waste management technologies, innovative processing methods, and digital tools to optimize recycling and reduce landfilling. Centered in Zaragoza, the project promotes industrial-urban symbiosis, supports social innovation, and enhances public perception of waste as a resource, driving the city’s transition toward zero residues by 2040.
SUPER-i and SUPERSHINE are complementary projects addressing energy efficiency and energy poverty in social housing. SUPER-i focuses on funding energy-efficient refurbishments across Europe, developing public-private partnerships, and integrating renewable energy into housing portfolios. SUPERSHINE builds on this foundation by renovating social housing to create smart, sustainable districts, demonstrated through pilot projects in Trieste, Herning, and Riga. Together, these initiatives aim to reduce energy poverty, promote zero-carbon living, and support the European Green Deal and Renovation Wave Strategy.
The CAPTUS project focuses on enabling energy-intensive industries to meet carbon neutrality goals through innovative carbon capture technologies and strategies. By utilizing renewable energy supply peaks, the project aims to capture carbon and convert it into liquid energy carriers for renewable fuels and chemicals. With pilot installations at cement, chemical, and steel plants, CAPTUS will adapt carbon capture to specific industrial conditions, validate energy carriers, optimize processes, and develop business models for broader replication, paving the way for sustainable industrial transformation.
The eLITHE project is revolutionizing the ceramic industry by developing electrified heating systems for high-temperature processes, replacing fossil-based systems. With the potential to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, eLITHE addresses the 19 million tons of CO₂ emitted annually by the European ceramic sector. By advancing efficient and safe electric heating technologies, the project contributes to the EU's 2050 climate neutrality goals while driving sustainable transformation in energy-intensive industries.
Past Projects
Our projects’ lifespan has a long-term impact that extends after the end of the implementation period. We strive to make connections and find synergies with completed projects. This space should serve as a repository of tools and information.
The RETROFEED project enables process industries to adapt to variable, bio-based, and circular feedstocks by retrofitting core equipment and implementing advanced monitoring and control systems. By integrating a Decision Support System (DSS) to assist operators across the production chain, RETROFEED enhances efficiency and sustainability. Demonstrated in five energy-intensive sectors—ceramic, cement, aluminium, steel, and agrochemical—the project showcases innovative solutions for transitioning industries toward circular and resource-efficient operations.
The RE4Industry project supports energy-intensive industries (EIIs) in Europe on their journey toward full decarbonization by 2050 through the adoption of renewable energy (RE) solutions. By providing strategic guidance and facilitating retrofitting and integration of RE technologies, the project enables industries to transition smoothly and securely.
