Development of a discussion paper

Development of a discussion paper for the food industry which serves as basis for the R&D roadmap “energy efficiency in the textile and food industry”.

The development of a branch specific discussion paper for the food industry which examines the R&D demand for increasing the energy efficiency in the production.

TrustEE – innovative market based Trust for Energy Efficiency investments in industry

TrustEE aims at ensuring financing to SMEs technology suppliers implementing energy services for the producing industry, bypassing the restrictive “credit worthiness” criteria imposed by conventional financing parties.

TrustEE – innovative market based Trust for Energy Efficiency investments in industry

TrustEE is a three-year project (2016-2019) financed by the European Commission Horizon 2020 Programme to accelerate implementation of energy efficiency (EE) and renewable energy (RE) solutions. This project aligns with and supports the EU energy efficiency, renewable energy and climate goals for 2020 focussing on producing industry facing a lack of funding and financing possibilities for EE and RE projects.

SolarAutomotive – Solar process heat for automotive and supplying industry

Solar Automotive has the aim to establish solar process heat in the automotive and supplier industry.

In addition to target group analyzes and potential analyzes a planning tool and simulation tool as well as general integration concepts will be developed and the cooperation between the solar thermal and the automotive and supplier industry will strengthen.

UNIDO Ship Biomass

Training for Industrial Applications in Ukraine and India focusing on improving energy efficiency and promoting renewable energy in the agro-food and other small and medium enterprises (SMEs)

The aim of the project is to develop a market environment for introducing energy efficiency and enhanced use of renewable energy technologies in the agro-food and other energy intensive manufacturing SMEs in Ukraine and India as a basis for promoting their competitiveness while ensuring an integrated approach for lower carbon intensity and improvement in their productivity and local environment. The training also includes a study tours.

Innovative membrane distillation for gold and palladium recovery in the PCB industry

In the frame of the project MD-Gold the membrane distillation (MD) will be adapted and further developed in the use of recovery of palladium and gold in the printed circuit board industry (PCB). On the base of laboratory tests a suitable membrane module will be developed and operating parameters will be optimized. There on, the potential of the membrane distillation will be demonstrated in the printed circuit board industry and a focus on the decrease of thermal energy demand as well as based on lower process temperatures the potential for solar thermal integration and available waste heat will be laid under economic terms. The result of the project is an optimized MD-plant on a laboratory scale with suitable membrane modules and operating parameters, on this basis a scale-up concept for a larger unit will prepared.

IntegrCiTy – Decision-support environment for planning and integrating multi-energy networks and low-carbon resources in cities

IntegrCiTy project’s overall aim is to foster energy networks interoperability either in existing or future urban infrastructures by developing a dedicated decision-support tool, that shall be applied and tested/validated in three Swiss and Swedish cities.

CityCalc – Energieplanungs- und Bewertungsinstrument für den Städtebau

An easily applicable planning and evaluation tool CityCalc is developed that can assess the energy performance of urban planning projects in early design stages with low input and evaluation effort.

MeQuSo – Development of methods for quality as-sessment of large solar thermal plants under real operating conditions

The project MeQuSo deals with planning reliability and quality assessment of large solar thermal plants. Major building blocks are the development of pratical methods to prove the power output and solar yield as well as in-situ tests for collector arrays.

CREATE – Compact REtrofit Advanced Thermal Energy Storage

AEE INTEC coordinates the development of a seasonal thermochemical storage system on salt hydrate basis in the H2020 project CREATE (Compact REtrofit Advanced Thermal Energy storage)

The CREATE project is a research project funded by the European Commission under the Horizon 2020 programme. The consortium consists of eleven partners from eight different European countries and it is led by AEE INTEC. The main aim is to develop and demonstrate a heat battery, i.e. an advanced thermal storage system based on Thermo-Chemical Materials (TCMs), that enables economically affordable, compact and loss-free storage of heat in existing buildings. In this manner, the CREATE system will be able to store surplus of heat from summer to winter.
