From heat-driven processes to the use of mechanical and electric forces
Funds industrial demonstrations that replace fossil-heat-driven process steps with electrically driven technologies to cut energy use and emissions.
From heat-driven processes to the use of mechanical and electric forces is a European Commission call, implementing the co-programmed Processes4Planet partnership, that funds three industrial demonstrations, worth between EUR 8 million and EUR 10 million each from a EUR 25 million budget, to replace fossil-heat-driven process steps — such as separation and drying — with electrically driven technol…
The call wants innovation actions that develop electrically driven industrial process technologies — such as membrane technology, power ultrasound, mechanical activation or electrochemical processes — replacing traditional heat-based separation and drying steps in process industries. Conventional electric heating and heat pumps are explicitly out of scope.
