Abstract:

The EU is committed to its ambitious decarbonization goals to be achieved in 2050 and Energy Intensive Industries (EIIs) represent almost one third of the final energy consumption, therefore has a significant role in realizing these targets. In order to ensure the successful decarbonization of the EIIs, a long-term vision and strategy is required to stay competitive while contributing to the emission reduction targets.H2020 project RE4Industry is aiming to ensure a smooth transition in EIIs while they implement renewable energy solutions. RE4Industry is looking into economically and technically feasible retrofit and renewable solutions for the EIIs in short (2030) and long term (2050) and together designing action plans for industrial decarbonization with the ultimate goal of transforming the European Union´s industrial sector into a thriving market for renewable energy. Different renewable electricity and heat sources are being looked into within the project and analysed to best provide the different needs of the EIIs to be and biomass will play a vital role in decarbonizing not only traditional combustion systems but also as a source of biofuels. Biomethane and green hydrogen are considered essential, as biomethane enables a seamless transition from fossil-based natural gas to renewable gas [1].
