SOLINDARITY

Driving Industry Decarbonisation with Innovative and Sustainable Heat Solutions

SOLar-driven INDustrial power And heat upgRaded with hIgh-temperature heaT pumps for enhanced integrated process efficiencY

SOLINDARITY

In a nutshell

An EU-funded project, focuses on decarbonising industrial processes through an integrated Solar Energy-based Heat Upgrade System (SEHUS). This innovative system combines solar energy (both thermal and photovoltaic), high-temperature heat pumps, thermal energy storage, and waste heat recovery to significantly reduce carbon emissions in the industrial sector.

The main pilot sites represent three key industrial sectors: food, paper, and rubber industries. These pilot projects will showcase the effectiveness, sustainability, and cost-efficiency of SEHUS in supplying medium-grade heat at temperatures up to 280°C, considering various factors such as plant capacities, operational configurations, land constraints, and fuel usage.

Enhancing Industrial Integration and Global Expansion with SOLINDARITY

SOLINDARITY will address major technical challenges in integrating these modules into existing process plants. Through following processes the project aims to optimise resource management, matching available resources with industrial power and heat needs.

Kick off

April 2, 2024. The SOLINDARITY project officially started in January 2024 with a collaborative meeting among partners in Athens, Greece. This initial gathering laid the groundwork for the project’s objectives over the next four years. The kick-off meeting provided the space for collaboration and valuable insights, enabling partners to clarify roles and initiate their work. With an ambitious aim of advancing industry decarbonisation, the consortium looks forward to partnering with stakeholders to achieve this goal, leveraging the outcomes of SOLINDARITY.
