Efenco

• Retrofit industries to make them more sustainable: Efenco’s HERC - High Energy Ray Ceramics technology enables high-consumption industries to increase resource-use efficiency and adopt cleaner technologies for their industrial processes. Installing a HERC component was proven to reduce fuel consumption by 18%, reducing drastically the CO2 emissions of industrial processes. At the same time, the implementation of HERC enables a production cost drop of up to 7%. 

The reduction in fuel consumption and decrease in the sector’s emissions are extremely important, since CO2 emissions from energy combustion and industrial process accounted for close to 89% of energy sector greenhouse gas emissions in 2021.

• Promotion of innovation and entrepreneurship for business green transition: The HERC technology patented by Efenco is a product of intensive research and development since 2015, also funded by the European Innovation Counsil (EIC) of the European Union. The product has the potential to upgrade the technological capabilities of high-temperature process heat (HTPH) industrial sectors at large scale – which have a big CO2 footprint. This funding, with the co-funding of the EIC grant will allow Efenco to further develop the HERC efficiency and robustness, carry out industrial pilots, develop HERC mass production technology, reach mass production, and scale up sales.
• Improve efficiency in energy use and reduce energy consumption: the HERC technology developed by Efenco increases the efficiency of combustion processes, which allows to reduce consumption of fuel in intensive-use industries and consequently enables industry decarbonization. The company’s tests have demonstrated a 18% less fuel consumption and between 18% and 20% less CO2 emissions in the industrial processes.
