Energy Efficiency in Industrial Processes - EEIP

📢 The Commission launched today (1 Aug) a public consultation and the Call for Evidence for the upcoming Circular Economy Act. The feedback period is open until 6 November 2025. https://lnkd.in/gHmtXWpz It marks a significant step in the impact assessment process, which will enable the Commission to gather input from a wide range of stakeholders and the broader public, thereby better understanding the bottlenecks and opportunities for the wider deployment of a circular economy. The Circular Economy Act aims to accelerate the transition to a more circular economy, increasing the EU’s economic security, resilience, competitiveness and decarbonisation. Due for adoption in 2026, it aims to establish a Single Market for secondary raw materials, increase the supply of high-quality recycled materials and stimulate demand for these materials in the EU. This follows recommendations from the Letta and Draghi reports, industry (in the Antwerp Declaration), the European Council (Budapest Declaration) and Parliament. The Circular Economy Act will contribute to the ambition set out in the Competitiveness Compass and the Clean Industrial Deal to make the EU the world leader on the circular economy by 2030 and to double the EU circularity rate.  This consultation will also allow the Circular Economy Act to align with key EU initiatives, such as the Competitiveness Compass, the Single Market Strategy, the Steel and Metals Action Plan and the implementation of relevant recently adopted legislations, such as the Eco-design for Sustainable Products Regulation, the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation and the Critical Raw Materials Act.   All stakeholders are encouraged to participate in the online consultation using the Have Your Say portal. The feedback period is open until 6 November 2025. #CircularEconomy #EUCompetitiveness #GreenTransition #SustainableIndustry #Decarbonisation #RecycledMaterials #ResourceEfficiency #EURegulation #EconomicSecurity #EcoInnovation #SecondaryRawMaterials #WasteToValue #EnvironmentalPolicy #SingleMarket #CircularBusinessModels #CallForEvidence #HaveYourSay #EUGreenDeal #SustainableGrowth

Energy efficiency is a no-brainer. It’s good for your wallet, it’s good for the climate — and the return is impressive. For every €1 invested in energy efficiency at home, you can get €12 back! Every action we take makes a difference. ✅ Switching to LED lighting ✅ Choosing energy-efficient appliances (like fridges, washers or TVs) ✅ Upgrading insulation, heating, or cooling systems in your home Want to learn how you can save more with enhanced energy efficiency? 👉 https://europa.eu/!4RqWN9 #EnergyEfficiency #EnergyFacts

🚨 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐲 𝐩𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐝! #EnergyEfficiency plays a key role in the EU’s decarbonisation, but at times its progress can be underrepresented due to insufficient data. A newly published study addresses this issue by assessing the impact of energy efficiency policies on energy consumption. It projects historical data and policies in place and provides results with an annual or monthly resolution per EU country, sector and fuel.

DYK? The metal industry generates hundreds of terawatt-hours of #wasteheat every year, enough to warm entire neighbourhoods 🏙️   Capturing even a fraction of that through #districtheating networks could be a real game-changer for industrial #decarbonisation and #circularity ♻️   ✅ This can be done: successful projects like Aurubis in Hamburg or ORI Martin Group & Turboden S.p.A. in Brescia (picture below) show the way. 🤝To scale up and make the most out of it, we need collaboration across our industries to replicate success factors and fill the project pipeline.   I’ll be at the Eurometaux (European Metals Association) conference tomorrow in Brussels to dive deeper into these opportunities. I’m keen to learn about more real-world examples of waste-heat recovery and discuss how to make this happen 🚀🔗   Hoping to see familiar faces and make new connections! Feel free to reach out!

“#SMEs are key to the circular transition – but unfortunately, the business case still doesn’t add up” - President Petri Salminen during today’s Clean Industrial Dialogue on Circularity with EVP Ribeira, EVP Séjourné and Commissioner Roswall. Mr Salminen underlined the importance of removing blockers and empowering #SMEs to scale up circular business models. The upcoming #CircularEconomyAct must: ♻️ #ThinkSmallFirst, not apply one-size-fits-all rules 📉 Lower costs and administrative burdens 🔧 Introduce fair and simple #EPR schemes 💶 Incentivise reuse via #VAT reductions and harmonised “End-of-Waste” criteria 📍 Create regional circularity hubs for local #SME support SMEs are central to every industrial ecosystem. Without a tailored approach, the circular transition risks leaving them behind. The #CleanIndustrialDeal can only succeed with SMEs at its core. ➡️ More: https://lnkd.in/e_qZu_5h #CircularEconomy
