Energy Efficiency

Climact has identified the natural gas consumption hotspots in the EU industry. The key alternatives to natural gas for chemical and food sectors are heat pumps and electric boilers.

Digital and connected pump market could double in size within the next decade. Key players in this market include big names like ITT Corporation, Xylem, Wilo, Sulzer, Grundfos and Flowserve.

CORALIS and INITIATE are hosting a joint online workshop on 26th September 2022, at 10:00-11:35 am CET. The workshop aims at demonstrating industrial symbiosis by using residual carbon-rich gas from the iron and steel.

Pneumatic systems stand out for being a widely used reliable technology with low investment cost. High durability of compressed air systems often hides increasing leakages and pressure drop which can be avoided using predictive maintenance through the implementation of smart technologies in compliance with Industry 4.0.

Germany is to meet its energy needs from renewable sources in 30 years. The conversion of Germanys energy supply to green and renewable is a done deal. But there is not much time left to switch completely from fossil fuels to a carbon dioxide-free,.

The SUPER-HEERO project aims to provide a replicable financial scheme for energy efficiency investment in small and medium supermarkets. It starts from a high-level analysis of typical supermarkets energy systems and equipment, to create a catalogue with the most relevant and easy to replicate energy efficiency measures.

The ETEKINA project aims to recover 57-70% of the waste heat stream in energy intensive industries which up to now just go out of the chimney. The new heat pipe heat exchangers are an efficient tool to recover heat from industrial processes.

Less than 30% of the energy consumed on the planet is converted efficiently. The rest is discharged into the atmosphere in the form of waste heat. Excess heat produced by chillers in a supermarket can end up providing space heating and hot water for flats.

The German Energy Efficiency Award is endowed with prize money totalling 30,000 euros. Companies from any industry in Germany or abroad can apply online at energy efficiencyaward.de/en/apply/. The 18 nominees will be selected by a jury of.
