Demonstration of industrial excess/waste heat conversion to mechanical or electrical power supports consortia testing industrial heat-to-power systems to cut energy costs and enable grid-stabilising generation.
Thermal energy optimisation and waste heat recovery of high energy demand IT rooms in buildings or small edge data centres supports teams demonstrating heat reuse to improve energy and resource efficiency.
Efficient energy input from renewable sources and energy management in the process industries funds consortia’s pilot-scale energy innovations to cut industrial CO₂ footprints by at least 20%.
Demonstration of solid biofuel supply and conversion to high efficiency CHP from fully sustainable regional value chains funds consortia demonstrating biofuel chains and CHP for low-emission industrial heat and power.
Concentrated solar thermal systems for decarbonising industrial processes supports consortia demonstrating solar heat and storage for industrial heating and cooling to cut emissions and improve competitiveness.
R&I in Support of the Clean Industrial Deal: Decarbonisation of energy intensive industries (IA) (Processes4Planet and Clean Steel partnerships) funds industrial teams to demonstrate technologies for cleaner products.
