Chair of HWG: Christoph Brunner – AEE Intec (AT)
Vice-chair: Marco Calderoni – R2M Solutions (IT)
Name of the HWG: 100% RE Industries
Objectives / goals
Definition of a comprehensive roadmap for European industry to achieve the target of 100% RE heat and cold supply including timeframe, research topics and funding needs in order to foster the European industrial leadership Following questions and goals will be addressed:
- Clustering the industry in regards of temperature ranges, linked heating and cooling demand, realization potential and timeframe
- Developing of realization concepts for 100% RE for the defined industry clusters focusing on the interaction between energy supply systems and RE fuels and process requirements under exergetic considerations
- Defining the optimal interaction between energy efficiency measure and RE
- Overview on process technologies (state of the art, innovative, emerging) which increases the application of EE and RE in industry
- Evaluation of the technical and economic potential of the electrification of European industry and its role of the 100% RE approach linked to feasible EE and thermal RE potentials
- Identification of energy supply technology gaps at low, medium and high temperatures
- Definition of research needs in order to reach the goal of 100% RE in industry
- Identification of best practices examples of RES (and also in combination with EE) and setting up an online database
- Identify main stakeholders in terms of energy transition in the industrial sector
- Identification of existing barriers socio-economic, political and financing barriers
- Identification of priority areas for demonstration of 100% RE Industry concepts
- Evaluation of the integration of the 100% REE Industry with the other 100% RE concepts within RHC-ETIP.
