9 CLEEN Efficient Energy Use - programme Started in September 2011, duration 5 years, Budget 12 M Industrial partners: ABB, Andritz, Empower IM, Fortum, Fortum Power & Heat, Gasum, Helsinki Energy, Kumera, Metso, Sulzer Pumps Finland, Wellquip, Wärtsilä Research partners: Aalto, LUT, TUT, VTT, ÅA Goals Build knowledge and competence to enable future growth in energy efficiency product and service innovations Provide methods, tools and technologies to enable step-wise increase in energy efficiency Focus is in system level solutions

10 We concentrate on three separate but interlinked focus areas Regional energy system Industrial system Each of the themes will undergo major changes due to: Regulation Consumer behaviour New technology Storage Energy chains How do we improve system level energy efficiency while satisfying other targets (cost, CO2,..)? What are the limitations posed by the existing system on the achievable energy efficiency improvements? What are the implications and opportunities for various players?

11 Research themes of the programme Focus: Regional energy systems Focus: Energy chains Focus: Industrial systems Theme 1: Understanding and measuring energy efficiency Metrics Theme 2: Analysis and optimisation of complex systems Opportunities Theme 3: Technology research Potential solutions Theme 4: Energy efficiency services research

12 Focus area Process industries We are aiming at a minimum impact mill with minimal emissions and waste Increased process closure and recycling of water and material Re-use of waste heat Treatment of effluents and exhausts Research questions What are the relationships between material, environmental and energy efficiency? How to balance between the potentially conflicting objectives? What are the system level solutions for energy efficient Separation and recovery of components Waste heat recovery, upgrading or conversion Fluid handling

13 Some results from fluid handling system research

14 What is SPIRE? A proposal for a European public-private partnership (PPP) dedicated to innovation in resource and energy efficiency and enabled by the process industries Its objective is to develop the enabling technologies and solutions along the value chain, required to reach long term sustainability for Europe in terms of global competitiveness, ecology and employment Its targets are Reducing fossil energy intensity of up to 30% from current levels Reducing non-renewable, primary raw material intensity of up to 20% from current levels. Both ambitions will contribute to efficiency improvement in CO2 equivalent footprints of up to 40% by Stakeholders are represented by a non-profit association A.SPIRE aisbl

16 The six key components of SPIRE 1. Feed : Better preparation and product mix of raw materials, higher levels of alternative and renewable feedstock as well as better managing increased quality variations in material resources. 2. Process: Solutions for more efficient processing and energy systems for the process industry, including industrial symbiosis. 3. Applications: New processes to produce materials for market applications that boost energy and resource efficiency up and down the value chain. 4. Waste2Resource: Valorisation, avoidance and re-use of waste streams within and across sectors, including recycling of post-consumer waste streams and new business models for eco-innovation 5. Horizontal: Accelerated deployment of the R&D&I opportunities identified within SPIRE through sustainability evaluation tools and skills and education programmes as well as enhance the sharing of knowledge and best practices. 6. Outreach: Reach out to the process industry, policy makers and citizens to support the realisation of impact through awareness, stimulating societal responsible behaviour

19 Opportunities for the Finnish industries The target is to get 3 billion in to implement the agenda set-up by SPIRE PPP. This provides a considerable complementary funding source for Finnish industry together with TEKES programmes. At the moment European companies are active in setting priorities for the SPIRE agenda. It is important for the Finnish industry to get engaged right now with VTT. By working with VTT, the company can identify those value chains and clusters that are worth joining.
