Project: Green Mediterranean through Solar Driven Decarbonization of Industries - GREENOLIVE
Abstract
GREENOLIVE aims to promote a green Mediterranean by developing and demonstrating an up-scaled solar energy system to provide process heat for industries. The project focuses on conserving 18-22% of fossil fuel usage, decreasing greenhouse gas emissions, and increasing energy efficiency through the use of solar thermal energy combined with thermal energy storage and power-to-heat conversion systems. It involves R&D, system integration, demonstration at a petrochemical plant, and extensive capacity building and replication activities across the Mediterranean region.
