  2. SPIRE: Sustainable Process Industry What is SPIRE? • SPIRE = Sustainable Process Industry in Resource and Energy Efficiency • A proposal for a European Private Public Partnership (PPP) dedicated to innovation in resource and energy efficiency in the process industries Objective • To address European Industrial Competitiveness in terms of global competitiveness, ecology and employment. • To develop the enabling technologies and solutions along the value chain, required to reach long term sustainability for Europe SPIRESustainable Process Industry European Industrial Competitiveness through Resource and Energy Efficiency

  3. Resource and Energy Efficiency Partnership “REP” is a group of European Technology Platforms and Associations motivated to promote resource and energy efficiency in process industries, representing: • More than 450 thousand enterprises. • Employ over 6.8 million employees, • Generating more than 1,600 billion € turnover • The founding basis of the European Economy (20%) • Struggling with declining global competitiveness

  5. Origin of SPIRE – Prima Mobile Industry’s response to real, tangible and urgent needs • Industry has a responsibility and unique ability to respond to these challenges, by providing adapted solutions. More specifically SPIRE is addressing three fundamental European challenges: • urgency to create growth and increase the competitiveness of Europe in a global market, • need to rejuvenate the European process industry that is the basis of the European economy in terms of turnover, employment and generation of technologies for all industrial sectors • imperative to reduce resource and energy inefficiency and the environmental impact of industrial activities.

  6. Process Industries in the Value Chain Raw Materials Process Industry: Chemical, biochemical, and physical transformation and formulation of raw materials using continuous and batch processes into Materials with new properties and functionalities Discrete Manufacturing: Components & Products

  7. SPIRE Ambitions “do more with less” • A reduction in fossil energy intensity of up to 30% from current levels by 2030 through a combination of, for example, cogeneration-heat-power, process intensification, introduction of novel energy-saving processes, and progressive introduction of alternative (renewable) energy sources within the process cycle. • By 2030, up to 20% reduction in non-renewable, primary raw material intensity versus current levels, by increasing chemical and physical transformation yields and/or using secondary and renewable raw materials. A full life cycle cost analysis is required to consider all effects of using secondary and renewable feedstocks (e.g. water usage) and to prove the sustainability advantage. Both these aspirations will make a significant contribution to the political and societal objectives of drastic efficiency improvement in CO2-equivalent footprints of up to 40% by 2030. Potential improvements extend beyond “industry” to all indirectly supplied and dependent economic sectors such as transport, construction, water, electronics etc. Note: The reference data is based on Eurostat.data and definition of ‘current level’ is the period 2008-2011.

  9. SPIRE Status HORIZON2020 - COM(2011) 811 final (p42) , COM(2011) 809 final (p51) 1.5.3. Sustainable and low-carbon technologies in energy-intensive process industries Increasing the competitiveness of process industries, such as chemical, pulp and paper, glass, or non-ferrous metals and steel by drastically improving resource and energy efficiencies and reducing the environmental impact of such industrial activities. Focus will be on the development, and validation of enabling technologies for innovative substances, materials and technological solutions for low-carbon products and less energy-intensive processes and services along the value chain, as well as the adoption of ultra-low carbon production technologies and techniques to achieve specific GHG emission intensity reductions.
