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 […]
CircularPSP – Driving circular procurement for Europe’s sustainable urban transition
Public procurement represents one of the most powerful but underused levers for accelerating Europe’s circular economy transition. Cities and public authorities purchase vast amounts of goods, services and infrastructure every year, yet procurement processes often fail to support circular business models, resource efficiency and long-term sustainability goals. CircularPSP addresses this challenge by helping public buyers […]
CORALIS – Advancing industrial symbiosis for a circular and resource-efficient Europe
Industrial sectors across Europe generate vast amounts of unused heat, waste streams, by-products and emissions that often remain isolated within individual facilities. At the same time, industries face growing pressure to reduce resource consumption, improve energy efficiency and accelerate decarbonisation without compromising competitiveness. CORALIS addresses this challenge by developing and demonstrating large-scale industrial symbiosis solutions […]
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 […]
IS2H4C – Unlocking industrial symbiosis in Europe’s industrial hubs
Europe’s industrial hubs generate enormous quantities of underused energy, waste streams and industrial by-products that often remain trapped within isolated production systems. At the same time, industries face increasing pressure to reduce emissions, improve resource efficiency and transition towards more circular production models. IS2H4C addresses this challenge by helping industrial clusters unlock the value of […]
REDOL – Turning urban waste into valuable circular resources
European cities generate millions of tonnes of municipal and industrial waste every year, yet large volumes of potentially valuable materials still end up in landfills or low-value treatment processes. At the same time, urban areas face growing pressure to improve resource efficiency, reduce environmental impact and transition towards more circular economic models. REDOL 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 […]
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 […]
