The ENOUGH project is a comprehensive initiative aimed at addressing and mitigating emissions in the food sector, contributing directly to the EU's Farm to Fork strategy's goal of achieving climate-neutral food businesses. The project encompasses initiatives like: a Retail Roadmap, which guides...

This Final Report synthesises the outcomes and insights from the Mutual Learning Exercise on Industrial Decarbonisation. It presents a comprehensive analysis of the challenges and opportunities in decarbonising the European process industry, characterised by its high energy and carbon intensity....

IERO project aims at developing a breakthrough technology to produce steel without any direct CO2 emissions. The economic model of this new route shows that the conditions for electrolysis to be the dominant technology of the steel industry in 2035 are a high carbon value of 150€.t-1CO2 and a...

The main scientific objective of the project was to achieve a technological proof-of-concept and a detailed economical evaluation for CO2 capture from coal-fired power plants with the indirectly heated carbonate looping process. A very innovative and scalable 300 kWth pilot plant was designed,...

This scientific opinion provides advice for improving the accuracy, reliability and transparency of the measurement of CO2 emissions from passenger cars and vans. But in recent years, the gap between what is measured in laboratories for regulatory purposes, and what is actually emitted in the...
