ENERGIX-Stort program energi

Competence project for Reduced Energy use through Advanced Technology InnoVations

Tildelt: kr 32,0 mill.

-

Increased energy efficiency is the most efficient and least expensive path to a sustainable energy future. Energy saved does not cause emissions, and energy not used reduces the need for new controversial power plants. A recent IEA study shows that energ y efficiency measures will have to account for more than half of the sum of all measures required globally to avoid unacceptable global warming in our century. Norwegian industry consumes more than 1/3 of the total Norwegian energy consumption and emits m ore than 1/3 of the national emission of greenhouse gases. The main objective of KMB CREATIV is to demonstrate that more than 1/4 reduction in both energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions will be feasible through a long term R&D effort within the areas of the project. The project has 3 core subprograms; -Electricity production from surplus heat with objective; to innovate and bring forward technology enabling exploitation of surplus low temperature heat for an efficient production of electricity. -Utilisation of thermal energy with objective; to move the technological barriers for utilisation of low temperature thermal heat for industrial purposes. -Efficient heating and cooling with objective; to release potential for energy efficiency improveme nts in the processing industry through in-depth research and technology development within the area of heat/ mass transfer and fluid flow. CREATIV will stimulate innovation in the industry dealing with technology for energy efficiency. In Japan, more than 5 million units for producing energy efficient hot water will be sold already by the end of next year, based on licensed technology developed at SINTEF / NTNU commercialized by Norwegian companies. In the auto industries, a similar breakthrough for new t echnology with the same knowledge base may be just around the corner, and in the aluminium, ferroalloys and silicon industries there is a huge potential for recovery of waste heat as electric power.
