HORIZON-CL4-INDUSTRY-2025-01-TWIN-TRANSITION-33: Integrated use of renewable energy carriers in industrial sites (Processes4Planet partnership) (RIA)

As a supporting partner of Hubs4Circularity, Urban Camel aims to foster strategic industrial collaboration. While this project call is interested in further contributions to the evolution of Hubs4Circularity, Urban Camel aims to explore new approaches, such as Industrial Symbiosis and integration of production systems with energy systems in industrial sites to ensure overall emission reduction. These approaches can increase the efficiency of generation and enable solutions that avoid losses, supporting stability and efficiency of power systems.

To this end, Urban Camel will conduct strategic research on the available renewable energy carriers that can be utilised in the process industries: electricity, hydrogen, solar heat, ammonia, etc. and will use the results of existing initiatives that have developed education and skills development concepts this area to design a strategy for skills development to meet the challenges of such integrated systems.

Urban Camel is seeking for a project coorcinator and project partners capable of conducting studies on:

• the development of highly efficient technologies for, and prototype designs of, integrated structures of industrial sites, including storage elements and solutions for their integrated operation under varying conditions;

• the fluctuations of the energy inputs to achieve overall energy and cost efficiency.

• the interaction with the supply side, in particular electric power grids, hydrogen pipelines or district heating;

• new ways to adapt the workplaces and organisation of site management to ensure that the solutions can be widely implemented.

• the demonstration and evaluation of energy efficiency and CO2 footprint reduction by optimal integration of energy from renewable sources as well as providing demand side flexibility;

• the logistic aspects, risk assessment and management at plant level;

• energy efficiency, techno-economic and life-cycle assessment
