The RETROFEED project is at the forefront of enhancing energy efficiency in energy-intensive industries through innovative retrofitting technologies. A key component of this initiative is the RETROFEED E-Learning Platform, a free resource designed for master’s students and all interested learners aiming to deepen their understanding of retrofitting applications in sectors such as ceramics, cement, aluminum, steel, and agrochemicals.
Project Overview
RETROFEED’s primary objective is to facilitate the adoption of variable, bio-based, and circular feedstocks in process industries. This is achieved by retrofitting core equipment and implementing advanced monitoring and control systems. Additionally, the project provides support to plant operators through a Decision Support System (DSS) that encompasses the entire production chain. This comprehensive approach has been demonstrated across five resource and energy-intensive sectors:
- Ceramic
- Cement
- Aluminum
- Steel
- Agrochemical
