September brings new projects, new results and new opportunities to connect.
In this issue, we introduce two new Horizon Europe projects joining ETA Florence's portfolio, share key results from projects reaching important milestones, and look ahead to a busy programme of events bringing together research, industry and stakeholders across the renewable energy transition.
From bioenergy and circular solutions to photovoltaics and agrivoltaics, discover what we are working on and what is coming next.

Launched in June 2026, RECLAIM-PV is a Horizon Europe project, bringing together 13 European partners, to advance the industrialisation of Solarface®, a European IP-protected lightweight composite PV encapsulation technology. Leveraging advanced composite materials, the technology aims to deliver lightweight, high-performance, and cost-competitive PV modules tailored for mass-market rooftop and balcony applications, as well as integrated PV markets (BIPV, VIPV, IIPV, AgriPV).

ETA-Florence Renewable Energies proudly leads the dissemination and communication activities for this project, supporting the visibility and uptake of its results across European research, industry and stakeholder communities.

Launched in September 2026, Harmoni is a Horizon Europe Research and Innovation Action project, bringing together 12 European partners, to develop a systemic solution for integrating High-Temperature Process Industries (HTPIs) into the green energy grid as intelligent energy hubs, with a specific focus on cement plants. The project will validate an innovative process for recovering ammonia from ammonium-rich effluents through dynamic on-site cracking, producing a tailored ammonia-hydrogen fuel blend with enhanced combustion properties.

ETA-Florence Renewable Energies will proudly lead the dissemination, communication and  stakeholder engagement activities for this project, helping connect the project’s technological developments with relevant industrial and research communities.

Helping connect the project’s technological developments with relevant industrial and research communities.

We are pleased to share the final publication of Fit4Micro project, a 4-year Horizon Europe Research and Innovation Action, started in October 2022. The project has developed a highly efficient micro CHCP hybrid system powered by sustainable liquid biofuels, designed to provide renewable heating, cooling and power for applications including multi-family residential buildings, non-residential buildings and industrial facilities. The final publication presents the project's main results and technology, from biofuel production and supply to the development of the Integrated hybrid trigeneration system.

After four years of collaboration, 21 partners from 8 EU countries have delivered significant results aimed at  reducing Europe dependence on critical raw materials for solar panel and battery production. The  project's latest factsheet includes a comprehensive overview of its main achievements, including critical raw materials recovery, sustainable silicon production, eco-designed PV cells and modules and the sourcing and dismantling of end-of-Life PV panels.
