As smartphones and mobile technologies continue to gain popularity across Europe, new opportunities are emerging to make industrial energy efficiency knowledge more accessible and interactive.
Within the framework of the ER>ER (Energy Recovery to Energy Recovery) project, EEIP has launched a new mobile application designed to support awareness, knowledge sharing and stakeholder engagement around industrial energy recovery and energy efficiency.
The application has been developed to help users better understand the factors that influence the implementation of energy recovery solutions in industry. Through a simple assessment process, users can evaluate potential drivers and barriers affecting energy recovery projects and receive immediate visual feedback on the results.
Supporting Energy Recovery Through Digital Innovation
Energy recovery remains one of the most promising opportunities for improving industrial energy efficiency across Europe. Significant amounts of energy are still lost through industrial processes, despite the availability of technologies capable of capturing and reusing this energy.
The ER>ER mobile application has been created to help bridge the gap between technical knowledge and practical implementation. By providing an easy-to-use digital tool, the application encourages users to explore energy recovery opportunities and gain a better understanding of the challenges and benefits involved.
The application combines a structured assessment with visual result indicators, allowing users to quickly identify areas where energy recovery initiatives may be strengthened.
Connecting Industry with Knowledge and Expertise
In addition to the assessment tool, the application includes dedicated sections that connect users with organisations, companies and information resources active in the field of energy efficiency and energy recovery.
The EnergyPages section provides information on participating companies, while the Knowledge Hub offers access to institutions and supporting documentation relevant to industrial energy management.
The objective is not only to inform users, but also to help them discover expertise, technologies and examples that can support future energy recovery projects.
Exploring New Ways to Engage Industrial Stakeholders
The launch of the ER>ER mobile application reflects EEIP’s ongoing interest in innovative approaches to communication and stakeholder engagement.
While mobile applications are becoming increasingly common in everyday life, their application within the industrial energy efficiency sector remains relatively new. EEIP sees significant potential in using digital tools to improve access to information, encourage discussion and facilitate knowledge exchange among industrial stakeholders.
The application also allows users to share results and insights through professional and social networks, helping to extend the conversation around industrial energy efficiency beyond traditional channels.
Looking Ahead
The ER>ER mobile application represents an important step in exploring how digital technologies can support the transition towards a more energy-efficient and competitive European industry.
By combining self-assessment, visual feedback, knowledge resources and stakeholder engagement within a single platform, EEIP hopes to contribute to wider awareness and adoption of energy recovery solutions across Europe.
As digital technologies continue to evolve, initiatives such as the ER>ER mobile application will help demonstrate how innovation can support not only industrial processes, but also the way knowledge is shared and applied.
Funding
The ER>ER mobile application was developed within the framework of the ER>ER (Energy Recovery to Energy Recovery) project, supported by the European Commission under the Sustainable Industry Low Carbon (SILC)initiative.
