EFENIS
Efenis ( English Efficient Energy Integrated Solutions for Manufacturing Industries ) is a project of the European Union to show a new type of energy-saving technology for the industry with the aim of the merits. The project is funded by the 7th Research Framework Program (FP7) of the European Commission . EFENIS is an international collaboration consisting of 17 academic and industrial partners from a total of 11 different countries. The project is coordinated by the University of Manchester .
motivation
The EFENIS project was started in 2012 by an association of industrial and academic partners as part of the European Union's "20-20-20 target". This plan for 2020 includes reducing primary energy consumption in the EU by 20%, reducing greenhouse gas levels in the EU by at least 20% compared to the values from 1990 and increasing the total share of renewable energy in EU final energy consumption 20%. The project's task is to develop novel technologies and methodologies, and thus to contribute to the European strategy of decarbonisation and an energy-efficient society.
Project overview
EFENIS was started in August 2012 for a period of 36 months. The University of Manchester coordinated the project. With a total cost of almost 7.4 million euros, EFENIS is funded by the European Union with around 4 million euros (grant number 296003).
The main concern of EFENIS is the provision and demonstration of innovative energy management systems and efficiency technologies that simplify and accelerate the path to energy-efficient processes with low greenhouse gas emissions. For this purpose, the energy management, starting from a single system, is based on the analysis of the entire production site and beyond the site - e.g. B. by means of district heating - expanded. In this way, the EFENIS approach can uncover realizable energy saving potentials and, provided that greenhouse gas emissions are low, convey a far-reaching understanding of energy infrastructures.
The EFENIS consortium goes beyond the EU and includes large industrial partners in energy and greenhouse gas intensive sectors of the chemical industry and refineries. This is to ensure cross-industry integrations as well as widespread use of the new technologies.
