INDUCE

INDUCE introduces its open access platform, to support creating an energy-efficiency culture within companies in the food and beverage sector. First training materials on energy efficiency tools, related projects and various measures can now be found on www.energyefficientfoodindustry.eu.

The INDUCE project has developed multiple training materials guidelines and tools, which are now available on its own open access platform www.energyefficientfoodindustry.eu. The platform will support the uptake of existing solutions for energy-efficiency improvements in agro-food companies. It will therewith pay attention to the fact that energy saving targets of the agro-food industries oftentimes lack behind – despite increasing availability of EE – technologies and opportunities.

Companies aiming to increase their energy efficiency will find a repository of related projects, more than 80 energy efficiency measures as well as more than 160 tools related to the food industry or energy management. Further training materials such as energy assessment formats, interview protocols and culture scan surveys can be accessed right after registering on the platform. A dedicated form on energy-efficiency will offer the opportunity to share information about production, energy consumption, processes and equipment.

Multiple filter options and ratings (e.g., implementation efforts and saving potential) allow finding just the right measure for each specific need. To enhance usability for interested users in all pilot countries, the toolkit’s interface is multilingual – available in the consortium´s languages English, Dutch, French, German and Spanish.
