Summary from source

Expected Outcome: A significant decarbonisation of processes (measured by the reduction of GHG emissions from the overall system) with broad applicability and economic viability. Facilitation of the transition from fossil-based energy inputs for: low/medium thermal energy demands by introducing renewable-based alternatives and heat upgrading. High-temperature processes, by innovative technologies for electrified and hybrid high-temperature processes, high temperature energy storage. Clean energy usage is given a boost through innovative advanced materials, system concepts and technologies for energy integration and energy storage, supporting resilience against energy supply variations Combination of significant energy savings and integrated management of energy systems and production processes Scope: Most processes in the process industries require significant energy inputs which current…
