CAPTUS – Turning industrial CO₂ emissions into valuable resources for Europe’s clean energy transition
Heavy industry remains one of the most difficult sectors to decarbonise. Cement plants, steel production and chemical manufacturing all generate unavoidable process emissions that cannot simply be eliminated through electrification or renewable power alone. CAPTUS addresses this challenge by developing and demonstrating integrated carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) value chains that transform captured CO₂ into […]
DMaaST – Strengthening resilient manufacturing through digital supply chain intelligence
Modern manufacturing ecosystems are increasingly exposed to supply chain disruptions, volatile markets and rapidly changing industrial conditions. Manufacturers across Europe face growing pressure to improve resilience, maintain operational continuity and adapt production systems in real time while navigating complex global value chains. DMaaST addresses this challenge by developing advanced digital solutions that help manufacturing ecosystems […]
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 […]
RETROFEED – Retrofitting industrial plants for energy-efficient and low-carbon production
Many industrial facilities across Europe still rely on ageing production systems that were not designed for today’s energy efficiency and decarbonisation requirements. Replacing entire industrial plants is often economically unrealistic, particularly for energy-intensive industries operating under strict production, quality and operational constraints. RETROFEED addresses this challenge by developing practical retrofitting solutions that improve the energy […]
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 […]
STORMING – Advancing cleaner hydrogen production through methane cracking
Hydrogen is expected to play an important role in Europe’s industrial and energy transition, but current hydrogen production methods still generate significant carbon emissions or rely heavily on energy-intensive processes. STORMING addresses this challenge by developing cleaner hydrogen production pathways based on methane cracking technologies capable of producing hydrogen while avoiding direct CO₂ emissions from […]
ToFuel – Converting industrial CO₂ and bio-based residues into sustainable fuels
Decarbonising sectors such as aviation, heavy industry and large-scale transport requires alternatives to fossil fuels that can be produced sustainably and at industrial scale. At the same time, significant amounts of industrial CO₂ emissions and bio-based residues remain underutilised across Europe’s industrial and agricultural sectors. ToFuel addresses this challenge by developing integrated pathways that transform […]
