EE16 – Organisational innovation to increase energy efficiency in industry

CSA

EE16 – The challenge

• Further reduce the energy consumption of the industry sector and improve its competitiveness

• Additional gains possible thanks to existing cost-effective energy solutions and new affordable intelligent energy solutions

EE16 – The scope (1/4)

Proposals should:

• Focus on removing market barriers, in particular lack of expertise and information on energy management;

• Put in place mechanisms to secure funding for energy efficiency investments & facilitate the continuation of the activities beyond the project lifetime

EE16 – The scope (2/4)

Proposals should:

• Primarily address the uptake of cross-cutting innovative technologies

• Consider total-site energy management schemes and system optimization methodologies

• Prioritise energy-intensive industries.

EE16 – The scope (3/4)

Where appropriate or cost effective, proposals should:

• Encourage use of renewable energies and waste heat recovery,

• Consider high energy consumption processes where appropriate.

EE16 – The scope (4/4)

The following areas can also be funded (individually or in combination):

• Industrial system efficiency benchmarking: • Development of sector-specific technology

pathways towards 2050 to target the most energy-intensive industrial sectors;

• Energy management in SMEs and industry• Human and organizational challenges

EE16 – The expected impacts (1/2)

• For capacity building project, every 1 million euro of EU support should increase the skills of hundreds of people working in the sector and result in savings of at least 25 GWh per year.

EE16 – The expected impacts (2/2)

Demonstration of a significant impact in terms of:• improved competitiveness• larger investments made by stakeholders in

sustainable energy• primary energy savings• better implementation of efficiency policy• number of policy makers influenced • number of people with increased skills• number of people changing their behaviour

EE16 – To keep in mind

• Single stage evaluation• Type of action: Coordination and Support

Action• Recommended EU contribution: EUR 1,5 to

2 million per project

EE16 - The lessons learnt from the evaluations of the Call 2014

The main weaknesses identified:

• Limited innovative concepts • Methodology issues• Access to finance for the actual implementation of

energy efficiency upgrades not sufficiently addressed

• Impacts

EE18 – New technologies for utilisation of heat recovery in large industrial systems considering the whole energy cycle from heat production to transformation, delivery and end use

TRL4-7

RIA

• Reduce energy use in industrial processes and in H&C by utilising surplus heat/waste heat, increasing economic competitiveness of waste heat recovery and developing ready-made new practical solutions tested in real-word conditions

EE18 – The challenge

• Research & demonstration on technologies, technical and operational approaches to recover waste heat from: • industrial processes, • material flows originating in industrial processes or • plant perimeters,

and to transform it into useful energy forms• Methodologies & equipment should be subjected to full

scale validation at demo sites in industrial facilities (real-world conditions)

EE18 – The scope (1/2)

R&D main subjects: • Technical, organisational and operational solutions for

internal process use, internal or external plant use;• Integration & optimisation of the heat chain including fuel

substitution and efficient use of heat; • Evaluating waste heat potentials internal & externally;• Advanced control & operation techniques, automation and

safety measures and protocols;• Adaptable heat recovery modules;• Advanced co- and tri-generation, energy cascading;• Solutions for non-technical issues

EE18 – The scope (2/2)

Design, development & demonstration of economically viable solutions that recover at least 15% of process heat

Technical, organisational & operational adaptable modules Perceived & business risks reduced Widespread uptake of the solutions with a high impact in

several industry sectors – large replication potential Easy integration in current industrial landscape Turn-key solutions with appropriate pay-back time

EE18 – The expected impacts

Main weaknesses identified:• Technologies at a very preliminary research stage, not

credibly leading to demonstration • Stated impacts not credible, not sufficiently supported by

solid evidence• Quality of implementation not sufficient, lacking details;

structure not fully clear• Not sufficient information of the resources allocated • Low participation of target industries

EE18 – The lessons learnt from the evaluations of the Call 2014

Single stage evaluation Type of action: Research and Innovation action

The threshold for the criteria Excellence & Impact will be 4 out of 5.

The overall threshold will be 12 out of 15

Recommended EU contribution: EUR 3-4 million per project Indicative budget: EUR 8m (implemented under SPIRE PPP)

EE18 – Specific conditions for this call
