Towards Zero Fossil CO 2 Emission in the European Food and Beverage industry

1. Towards Zero Fossil CO2 Emission in the European Food and Beverage industry Objectives The overall objective of the GREENFOODS project is to lead the European food and beverage industry to high energy efficiency and a significant reduction of fossil carbon emissions in order to ensure and foster the world wide competitiveness, improve the security of energy supply and guarantee the sustainable production in Europe. The GREENFOODS project aims to develop a branch concept to increase the energy efficiency and to promote the use of renewable energies. This will be supported by 200 energy audits, the performance of trainings on the branch concept and focusing on the development of a tailor-made funding system for the food and beverage industry. GREENFOODS Branch concept The GREENFOODS branch concept guides the user to identify tailor-made solutions for "green production" for SMEs in the food and beverage industry by combining technological expertise with knowledge on energy efficiency, Renewables and strategies for SMEs for energy supply towards a production without fossil carbon emissions The GREENFOODS branch concept is closely linked to the GREENFFODS WikiWeb, an online compendium of information on process technologies, process and system optimisation, energy efficiency and the integration of Renewables in the food and beverage industry. The WikiWeb is online available for all interested free of charge.
