Description du projet
Soutenir une transition vers les énergies renouvelables pour l’industrie
Le changement climatique est l’un des problèmes les plus importants de notre époque. C’est la raison pour laquelle de nombreuses entités ont axé leurs efforts sur la lutte contre ses causes et sur l’intégration de méthodes écologiques et de sources d’énergie renouvelables. L’UE elle-même figure au rang de ces entités, puisqu’elle a mis en place un processus de décarbonisation progressive visant à atteindre un bilan neutre en carbone d’ici 2050. Ce processus impose toutefois de combiner une vision et une stratégie à long terme pour rester à la fois efficace et compétitif. C’est dans cette optique que le projet RE4Industry, financé par l’UE, cherche à soutenir les industries à forte intensité énergétique dans leur transition vers les énergies renouvelables et à préparer le secteur industriel de l’UE à ce changement.
Objectif
The EU has started a progressive decarbonisation with the aim to become carbon neutral by 2050. Energy Intensive Industries (EII) are expected to play an important role in this transition as they represent 24% of the final energy consumption, but a clear long-term vision and strategy is required in order to remain competitive while contributing to the decarbonization targets of the EU. RE4Industry has been conceived under this framework with a twofold objective: to support EII in the identification and integration of renewable energy (RE) solutions together with the definition of Action Plans for decarbonisation, and to transform the EU industrial landscape into a large market niche for the uptake of RE while defining the appropriate framework conditions for short- and long-term scenarios.
To this end, RE4Industry will set up and empower a comprehensive network of stakeholders and market actors who will identify feasible RE technologies and their market barriers and will interact with industry representatives to gather their needs, expectations, drivers and barriers towards the implementation of these technologies. Such an approach will be accomplished through a strong engagement strategy and the creation of RE4Industry Collaborative Network, who will receive from the project partners knowledge transfer material such as success cases, best practices, policy recommendations and technological roadmaps for promoting RE adoption.
In parallel to the networking activities, RE4Industry will develop a baseline methodology for the design of Action Plans for decarbonisation in EIIs that will be developed and validated together with 3 representative industrial use cases from the steel, aluminium and chemical sectors. RE4Industry solid replication strategy will enable the roll out of this methodology in at least 8 additional use cases of different sectors within the project lifespan and the initiation of cross-border knowledge transfer activities to a total of 12 EU countries.
