DEESME – Helping SMEs turn energy audits into practical decarbonisation action
Small and medium-sized enterprises represent a major part of Europe’s industrial economy, yet many SMEs still struggle to implement meaningful energy efficiency improvements despite the availability of audits, recommendations and technical guidance. Limited resources, lack of technical capacity and difficulties accessing finance often prevent companies from translating identified opportunities into real operational change. DEESME addresses […]
DEESME 2050 – Supporting SMEs in aligning energy efficiency with Europe’s climate neutrality goals
Europe’s transition towards climate neutrality requires deep decarbonisation across industrial value chains, including the thousands of small and medium-sized enterprises that form the backbone of European manufacturing. Yet many SMEs still face major challenges in translating energy efficiency ambitions into concrete investments and long-term business strategies. DEESME 2050 addresses this challenge by helping SMEs connect […]
EENOVA – Advancing energy efficiency across Europe’s food value chains
Europe’s food industry faces growing pressure to reduce energy consumption, improve sustainability and strengthen resilience across increasingly complex supply chains. From food processing and manufacturing to logistics and storage, the sector remains highly energy-intensive while also confronting rising energy costs, climate targets and changing market expectations. EENOVA addresses this challenge by supporting collaborative energy efficiency […]
ELITHE – Electrifying high-temperature industrial processes for Europe’s clean industrial transition
Many industrial sectors still depend heavily on fossil fuels to generate the high-temperature heat required for manufacturing processes. Industries such as ceramics, chemicals and advanced materials production rely on energy-intensive thermal operations that remain difficult to electrify using conventional technologies. ELITHE addresses this challenge by developing and demonstrating innovative electrification solutions capable of replacing fossil […]
ERER – Unlocking industrial waste heat recovery for Europe’s low-carbon transition
Large amounts of energy generated by industrial processes across Europe are still lost as waste heat, representing both an environmental challenge and a major untapped efficiency opportunity. Energy-intensive industries often struggle to identify, evaluate and implement practical heat recovery solutions due to technical complexity, fragmented knowledge and uncertain investment conditions. ERER addresses this challenge by […]
ICP – Building confidence and investment readiness for industrial energy efficiency projects
Many industrial energy efficiency projects across Europe struggle to secure financing despite offering strong technical and environmental benefits. Investors and financial institutions often face difficulties assessing project quality, performance reliability and implementation risks due to inconsistent methodologies and fragmented technical documentation. ICP addresses this challenge by developing standardised frameworks and protocols that improve confidence in […]
OneNet – Building a more flexible and integrated European energy system
Europe’s electricity system is undergoing a profound transformation as renewable energy generation, decentralised production and new energy market actors rapidly reshape how electricity is produced, distributed and consumed. Traditional grid structures were not designed for a system where millions of distributed assets, consumers and flexibility providers interact dynamically across interconnected energy markets. OneNet addresses this […]
RE4Industry – Integrating renewable energy into energy-intensive industries
Energy-intensive industries across Europe face growing pressure to reduce emissions while maintaining stable and reliable production processes. Although renewable energy technologies continue to expand rapidly, industrial facilities often encounter major technical and operational barriers when trying to integrate renewable energy into complex manufacturing environments. RE4Industry addresses this challenge by developing practical solutions that help industries […]
SUPER-i – Simplifying large-scale social housing renovation across Europe
Renovating Europe’s social housing stock is essential for reducing emissions, improving energy efficiency and tackling energy poverty. However, large-scale renovation projects often face major barriers linked to fragmented supply chains, complex procurement processes, financing difficulties and limited coordination between stakeholders. SUPER-i addresses this challenge by developing integrated digital and organisational solutions that make social housing […]
SUPERSHINE – Transforming social housing districts into sustainable energy communities
Europe’s social housing sector faces growing pressure to reduce emissions, improve energy performance and create healthier living environments for residents. At the same time, many social housing districts require large-scale renovation while dealing with rising energy costs, ageing infrastructure and increasing climate resilience challenges. SUPERSHINE addresses this challenge by developing integrated district-level renovation approaches that […]
