EEETHOS

Energy Efficiency and Electrification Technologies for Heat Flow Optimization in Process Industries

Challenge: Industrial process heating is responsible for 16% of total final energy demand and 13% of greenhouse gas emissions in the EU. Transforming this sector to become sustainable is crucial to meeting the EU’s climate targets for 2030, reducing dependency on fossil fuels, and enhancing the competitiveness of European industry.

Solution: EEETHOS addresses this challenge by developing and demonstrating cutting-edge technologies for high-temperature industrial heating, filling critical gaps in the current technology landscape. EEETHOS targets five of the energy-intensive sectors—Asphalt, Ceramics, Pulp & Paper, Bricks, and Steel—that rely heavily on high-temperature heat, typically above 150°C, and continue to rely predominantly on fossil fuels. Existing electrification technologies often fall short of meeting these temperature requirements, leaving a critical gap in the path toward industrial decarbonisation.
