Iron and Steel Textiles and Leather Chemicals(Plastics/Fertilizers/Others) Pulp and Paper Non-Ferrous (Aluminium/others) Cement Food Processing www.eera-set.eu Part 1 - Scoping Paper (5) Scope and Deliverables www.eera-set.eu Part 1 - Scoping Paper (6) Sub-programmes: suggestions •SP 1: Pulp And Paper Industrial Process •SP2: Agro-food Industrial Process •SP3: Market Conditions For Energy Efficiency www.eera-set.eu SP 1: Pulp & Paper Industrial Process Why to start such a Sub-programme: •Pulp and paper is an energy-intensive industry. On average, energy costs are 16 % of the production costs, in some cases up to 30 %. •It is the largest user and producer of renewable energy. Suggested approach: •Since many of the already available innovative technologies have not yet been able to demonstrate market viability, most of the potential emerging technologies are currently in a “valley of death”, unable to achieve market deployment. These should be the focus of the SP’s activity. www.eera-set.eu SP 2: Agro-food Industrial Process Why to start such a Sub-programme: •The agro-food industry is the largest manufacturer sector in Europe. www.eera-set.eu SP 2: Agro-food Industrial Process UP STREAM MID STREAM Input supply Handling Feedstock production Food processing www.eera-set.eu DOWN STREAM Wholesalers Export Retailers Supermarkets Small shops SP 2: Agro-food Industrial Process BACKGROUND ISSUES • Wide and heterogeneous sector with strong relationships between farmers, food producers and retailers. • Mass retailers decision drives the demand. • Price is the main driver to save energy resources and money along the food chain. • Environmental impact is a growing issues for Retailers/Consumers and energy plays a key role in the overall impact accounting. • On large scale industrial products there is a growing attention to the Carbon footprint that is strongly influenced by the farming techniques including energy intensity. www.eera-set.eu SP 2: Agro-food Industrial Process Suggested approach: • To look globally at the agro-food system, identifying innovative solutions for implementing energy efficiency in both agriculture and industry sectors. • To propose advanced concepts to reduce energy consumption. MAJOR QUESTION: •What the added-value of integrating agriculture into the agro-food industry? To properly reply to this main question we suggest 5 bullet points with the aim to support our idea to address the entire agro-food chain point of view. www.eera-set.eu SP 2: Agro-food Industrial Process FIVE MAJOR REASONS WHY TO ADOPT A BROADER VISION 1) The NEXUS approach for an integrated vision. 2) The ENVIRONMENTAL PRODUCT DECLARATION: a communication tool for the market. 3) Closing the cycles and local farm - food enterprises symbiosis. 4) Energy consumption in agro-food industrial processes and in agriculture. 5) Feedstock improvement for more efficient industrial processes. www.eera-set.eu SP 2: Agro-food Industrial Process REASON 1. The NEXUS approach for an integrated vision. www.eera-set.eu SP 2: Agro-food Industrial Process REASON 2. The ENVIRONMENTAL PRODUCT DECLARATION: a communication tool for the market. What is an EPD®? An Environmental Product Declaration, EPD®, is a verified document that reports environmental data of products based on life cycle assessment (LCA) and other relevant information and in accordance with the international standard ISO 14025 (Type III Environmental Declarations). www.eera-set.eu SP 2: Agro-food Industrial Process REASON 2. The ENVIRONMENTAL PRODUCT DECLARATION: a communication tool for the market. Large scale food producers and mass retailers are offering the consumers added value information to increase awareness of food impacts. Many other label are available on the market to provide eco-information to the final consumer. Environmental indicators are drivers to push all food chain to implement cooperative efforts to decrease carbon impacts via energy saving from Farm to Fork www.eera-set.eu SP 2: Agro-food Industrial Process REASON 3. Closing the cycles and local farm - food enterprises symbiosis. Food processing residues can be transformed in energy used for the food processing cycle via A.D.,Biogas and CHP. Moreover……….we can have local sinergies…………. www.eera-set.eu SP 2: Agro-food Industrial Process REASON 3. Closing the cycles and local farm - food enterprises symbiosis. Feedstocks Food Plant Other Residues Farms Farms Close relationship beetween local enterprises and farms to share energy, residues, inputs exploiting sinergies saving money and avoiding environmental costs www.eera-set.eu SP 2: Agro-food Industrial Process REASON 4. Energy consumption in agro-food industrial processes and in agriculture. European AGRO-FOOD INDUSTRY accounts for several production sub-sectors: On average, energy consumptions in the AGRO-FOOD INDUSTRY show this % distribution: www.eera-set.eu SP 2: Agro-food Industrial Process REASON 4. Energy consumption in agro-food industrial processes and in agriculture. The agro-food system accounts for about 20% of the total EU fossil fuel consumption. Final energy consumption in food, drink and tobacco industry in EU-27, 1990-2006. (Eurostat). www.eera-set.eu SP 2: Agro-food Industrial Process REASON 4. Energy consumption in agro-food industrial processes and in agriculture. Energy balance of industrial processes and associated energy consumption in Spanish F&V cooperatives based on cooling processes. Data proceeding from a 2010 analysis by Cooperativas Agro-alimentarias of ten Spanish F&V processing plants in the frame of the Tesla Project. www.eera-set.eu SP 2: Agro-food Industrial Process REASON 4. Energy consumption in agro-food industrial processes and in agriculture. Energy balance of industrial processes and associated energy consumption in a standard Portuguese olive oil cooperative producing on average 1.600 tons of olive oil processed/year.
