El grup de recerca GREiA de la Universitat de Lleida ja fa temps que integra l’enginyeria industrial amb la intel·ligència artificial (IA) per anar més enllà en la seva recerca. No es tracta d’aplicar mètodes o tècniques d’un àmbit en l’altre, sinó que es tracta de treballar conjuntament per aconseguir grans innovacions.

Long framed as an environmental imperative alone, the decarbonisation of heat is also able to offer vast economic benefits to European industry. The sector consumes roughly half its final energy as heat, putting it under tremendous pressure to reduce its carbon footprint in alignment with EU 2050 targets on climate neutrality.

The EU-funded SUSHEAT(opens in new window) project has published two new infographics designed to demystify the complex thermal ecosystem underpinning Europe’s efforts to decarbonise its industries. Available on the project’s website, the visual material aims to raise awareness of how fossil fuel boilers can be replaced by advanced renewable-based heating solutions, reducing European industries’ dependence on imported energy.

A little-known Europe-wide effort is underway to develop a range of high temperature, industrial heat pumps and novel energy storage systems, that could make significant cuts in the energy use of sectors like food and drink to paper and petrochemicals.

A 14-partner consortium spanning eleven European countries is developing a system combining high temperature heat pumps, thermal storage, solar thermal, and digital twin to decarbonise industrial heat up to 250°C.

The SUSHEAT project is set to decrease CO2 factory emissions through the design of a new thermal energy storage system that aims to deliver stable, on-demand heat with a full decoupling from any waste heat recovery and renewables availability.
