Who are
we?
TECNALIA is the first applied
research centre in Spain and one
of the most important in Europe
with around 1.500 people on
staff, 122€ millions turnover and
more than 4.000 clients.

The overall objective of the EDEFU project is to develop New Ecological Furnaces Designs addressing the needs of the Energy
Intensive Industries such as non ferrous metals, glass, ceramics and cement. These designs will be developed with the double
aim to increase the (i) furnace’s energy efficiency and (ii) cost efficiency.

AERTO´s Value From WASTE
The grand challenge within waste treatment is to create value from waste in
a sustainable manner. To do so, one has to extract valuable materials from
waste streams with sufficient purity for recycling ensuring the absence of
contamination from other harmful materials. Within the AERTOs cooperation
the research is focused on:
- Inventory, systems analysis and dynamics of scarce metals
- Extraction methods for minor fractions containing scarce metals
- Fate of material containing scarce metals after incineration
-Nanoparticles in waste treatment processes
The project is joining efforts from the partnering RTOS Fraunhofer, SINTEF,
SP, TNO, TECNALIA and VTT

SPIRE Resources and Energy Efficiency in the Process Industry
What is SPIRE?
These process industries represent a major part of the manufacturing base in
Europe (EU27), together including more than 450 thousand enterprises. They
have over 6.8 million employees, generating more than €1,600 billion turnover.
As such, REP represents 20% of the total European manufacturing industry,
both in terms of employment and turn over.
What is SPIRE?
A proposal for a European Private Public Partnership (PPP) dedicated to
innovation in resource and energy efficiency in and enabled by the process
industries
Its objective
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.

SPIRE Resources and Energy Efficiency in the Process Industry
ROADMAP
• Involve the right stakeholders (sectors and RTOs)
• Leverage on previous work (sectoral, national, EC,
UN visions docs, research agenda’s etc.)
• Overall SPIRE vision and targets as guideline
• A common workplan, working methdology, tools
and key milestones
• EC support and guidance
• A «dynamic» iterative process
