About HighEFF

In its eight years of activity, FME HighEFF has driven innovations that have reduced industrial energy consumption and lowered greenhouse gas emissions across a range of industries.

Today, the Centre's legacy lives on through the HighEFF Innovation Platform, which gathers more than 40 partners across academia and industry.

Our contribution to a more sustainable world

By increasing energy efficiency, value creation and competitiveness, while decreasing greenhouse gas emissions in a broad span of industrial processes across sectors, HighEFF contributed towards all 17 UN sustainable development goals (SDGs). Here, we are highlighting four SDGs we consider as the most relevant.

Illustration showing steps to improve industrial energy efficiency: minimising core process energy use, capturing excess heat, upgrading it with heat pumps or converting to electricity, and storing it for later use.
Throughout its eight years of operation, FME HighEFF adopted a multi-pronged approach to addressing the challenges of industrial energy efficiency. This begins with improving the core industrial process to minimise energy consumption. Next, any excess heat can be captured and either used directly, upgraded via heat pumps, or converted to electric power. Energy storage can further enhance the potential of excess heat by allowing it to be used when it's needed most, thereby increasing overall operational efficiency.

Results

HighEFF was organised in 6 Research Areas (RA). Each RA focused on different aspects of energy efficiency in industry. Together they worked towards creating a competitive, energy efficient and environmental friendly industry for the future.
