Descrizione del progetto
Parchi eco-industriali per consumi energetici ridotti
Il settore industriale rappresenta il 25 % di tutta la domanda di energia e il 50 % della domanda totale di raffreddamento e riscaldamento in Europa; tuttavia, solo il 16 % proviene da fonti rinnovabili. Concentrandosi su misure collettive e agglomerazione, l’efficienza del consumo energetico dell’industria può essere notevolmente aumentata. L’obiettivo del progetto R-ACES, finanziato dall’UE, è quello di trasformare gli agglomerati industriali ad alto potenziale e ad alto impatto in ecoregioni che raggiungano almeno una riduzione del 10 % delle emissioni. Un’ecoregione è un’area geografica in cui avvengono scambi di energia e informazioni tra varie aziende e attori per ridurre gli sprechi e il consumo di energia. Ciò è possibile scambiando l’energia in eccesso, facendo ampio uso di energie rinnovabili e collegando tutto con sistemi di gestione energetica intelligente.
Obiettivo
R-Aces means a step-change in the contribution of European Industry to the climate targets of the EU. The sector after all represents 25% of all energy demand – and 50% of all cooling and heating - on the continent; yet only 16% comes from renewables. By focusing on collective measures and clustering, the efficiency of industry can be drastically increased.
The focus of R-Aces therefore is to turn high-potential, high-impact industrial clusters into Ecoregions that achieve at least a 10% reduction in emissions. An Ecoregion is an area where energy, material and information exchanges occur between various companies and actors to reduce waste and energy/material consumption. Each region is centered on an (eco-)industrial park or (eco-)business park, linked to its surroundings by a 4th/5th generation district heating/cooling network.
The consortium sees this project as a capping stone, condensing the knowledge and experience gathered throughout H2020 into a set of three focused tools embedded in selected support actions. The tools consist of an assessment tool; legal decision support for joint contracts; and a smart energy management platform for clusters. The support actions are built around peer-to-peer learning, more formal coursework and serious games.
Together they enable a cluster to really become an EcoRegion and set up meaningful energy collaboration.
The entire package of tools and support is aimed at the high-potential clusters identified in the European Thermal Roadmap. It will be validated in three of them (all are part of the consortium); actively deployed in another seven; and disseminated to ninety of them. In addition, the tools and support methodology will be made available to third parties in a sustainable way after the end of this two-year project.
The project consortium consists of the entire value chain needed for energy collaboration – suppliers, ESCO, cluster managers, support – and represents many years of proven experience in this field.
