Industrial energy efficiency
6 European H2020 organizations list this as part of their work — 1 as their primary capability.
Most active in this area
- UNIVERSITA DEGLI STUDI DI MODENA E REGGIO EMILIA
Italian university strong in AI, embedded systems, collaborative robotics, and regenerative medicine, rooted in Emilia-Romagna's industrial ecosystem.
“ETEKINA (heat pipe energy recovery), DREAM (ceramic kiln efficiency), and SESAME (reactor thermal hydraulics) span energy recovery and thermal engineering.”
IT101 projects - EDERTEK S. COOP.
Basque cooperative specializing in aluminium casting and metals processing for automotive and EV applications, with growing focus on materials circularity.
“ETEKINA addressed heat pipe technology for thermal energy recovery; MEMAN tackled integrated energy and material flow management in metal manufacturing.”
SMEES4 projects - ROYO SPAIN SL
Spanish manufacturer providing real-world factory environments for AI-driven production optimization, digital twins, and spectral quality monitoring.
“E2COMATION targets life-cycle optimization of industrial energy use through data analytics and AI-based decision-making.”
ES3 projects - CIMPOR-INDUSTRIA DE CIMENTOS SA
Portuguese cement manufacturer providing industrial host sites for CCUS demonstration and waste heat recovery in EU decarbonization projects.
“Both EMB3Rs (energy modelling, cost-benefit for heat reuse) and LEILAC2 (process-level CO2 reduction) address energy intensity in heavy industry.”
PT3 projects - ECO-TECH CERAM
French SME with EU-validated mobile thermal storage technology using recycled ceramics to recover waste heat from industrial furnaces.
“Their technology directly reduces energy waste in energy-intensive industries such as ceramics, metallurgy, and glass manufacturing where furnaces dominate.”
SMEFR2 projects - SONOTEC ULTRASCHALLSENSORIK HALLE GMBH
German SME producing ultrasonic sensor systems for industrial energy efficiency and predictive maintenance, validated by two EU SME Instrument grants.
“Both projects focus on 'energy-saving' as the business outcome — reducing carbon emissions and industrial energy consumption through smarter measurement.”
