UAB MODERNIOS E-TECHNOLOGIJOS

Their core work

MET is a Lithuanian technology SME specializing in energy systems engineering, with deep involvement in industrial heat recovery, advanced solar cell development, and CO2 utilization technologies. They provide technical solutions for energy-intensive industries — from thermal energy storage and heat exchangers to biogas-to-hydrogen processing and waste recycling systems. Their work spans the full energy value chain: capturing waste heat, converting biogas to usable fuel, recycling industrial CO2 into valuable materials, and developing next-generation photovoltaic technologies.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

MET's early H2020 work (2015-2017) centered on industrial energy systems — heat recovery for factories, biogas-to-hydrogen conversion, and CO2 recycling in cement production. From 2017 onward, they shifted toward advanced materials for photovoltaics (kesterite thin films, perovskites) through MSCA research mobility projects. Their most recent project (SUNRISE, 2021) marks a pivot into circular economy and complex waste recycling, suggesting a broadening beyond pure energy into environmental technology.

MET is moving from heavy-industry energy recovery toward materials science (photovoltaics) and circular economy applications, positioning themselves at the intersection of clean energy and resource efficiency.

How they like to work

MET operates exclusively as a consortium participant — they have never coordinated an H2020 project. With 78 unique partners across 18 countries, they integrate into diverse international teams rather than leading them. Their breadth of partnerships (averaging 13 partners per project) indicates they thrive in large, multi-disciplinary consortia where they contribute specialized technical capabilities without bearing coordination overhead.

MET has built a broad European network of 78 unique partners spanning 18 countries — impressive for an SME with only 6 projects. This reach reflects their participation in large RIA and MSCA consortia that connect them to research groups and industrial partners across the continent.

What sets them apart

MET stands out as a Lithuanian SME that bridges industrial energy engineering and advanced materials research — an unusual combination for a small company. Their involvement in both applied industrial projects (heat recovery, biogas) and fundamental research programmes (MSCA mobility on perovskites and kesterites) gives them a rare dual perspective. For consortium builders, they offer a Baltic partner with genuine technical depth across energy, materials, and circular economy — not just a flag-of-convenience participant.

Highlights from their portfolio

• RECODE
  Largest single funding (EUR 510K) — CO2 recycling in cement industry using ionic liquids, directly addressing industrial decarbonization.
• SUNRISE
  Most recent project (2021-2024) and a strategic pivot into circular economy, applying multi-sensor sorting to complex waste streams like laminated glass.
• SUSPIRE
  Their earliest H2020 project and foundation of their industrial energy expertise — thermal storage and heat recovery for energy-intensive industries.
