Call content
short description | Projects outcomes will enable achievement of the objectives of Processes4Planet partnership by designing and digitising industrial processes for a maximum energy efficiency, ensuring process flexibility and capturing the full potential of renewable energy (related to P4Planet operational objectives 1 and 5). |
Call objectives | To decarbonise the energy-intensive industries both, the availability of affordable renewable energy, and the increase of the industrial processes energy efficiency, will be needed. Today‘s energy efficiency improvements in conventional plants are about 1-2% annually. The use of digital technologies in process optimisation has the potential to further reduce this energy demand. However, digital technologies alone cannot achieve the required change in the process industries’ energy efficiency, the combination of digital technologies with highly energy efficient process breakthroughs is required. Proposals under this topic should:
The proposals should include energy efficiency, techno-economic and life-cycle assessments considering the overall process. Proposals submitted under this topic should include a business case and exploitation strategy, as outlined in the introduction to this Destination. Proposals should build on or seek collaboration with existing projects and develop synergies with other relevant European, national or regional initiatives, funding programmes and platforms. Proposals are encouraged to consider outcomes from the projects carried out in the call DT-SPIRE-06-2019: Digital technologies for improved performance in cognitive production plants. This topic implements the co-programmed European partnership Processes4Planet. read more |
