European Energy Efficiency Hub for SME
Benefit from materials, tools and services of EU funded projects
Energy Efficiency Hub
The Energy Efficiency Hub introduces EU funded projects and their tools and services for companies with the common aim of supporting SMEs on their path towards increased energy efficiency and renewable energy production.
It was created during the Life project EE4HORECA and further developed by the Life project EcoSMEnergy.
The Hub introduces 18 EU funded projects that are targeting SMEs of various sectors. Click on Projects in the main menu to get an overview on all projects with a short introduction to each project. Clicking on more information leads to the project summary pages with more details (coordinator contact, project website, sectors targeted, countries, benefits for SMEs, information material).
Please use the Project search engine if you like to search for projects in certain countries, sectors and topics. The Material search engine guides you through the great variety of materials produced by the projects.
Search for EU Funded Projects
The hub provides information about 18 European projects. There are two options to learn more about these projects:
- If you already looking for a specific project, scroll down the options of Projects in the main menu
- If you are looking for projects targeting specific topics, sectors and countries, you can use the Search Project function, the first option under Projects in the main menu.
Search for Material of EU Funded Projects
The hub provides a lot of useful information on energy efficiency topics as well as training materials and tools. There are two options to access these materials:
- If you would like to get an overview of the materials of all projects, click on Materials under the main menu point Services.
- If you are looking for materials targeting specific topics, sectors and countries, please use the Search Materials function, the first option under Services in the main menu.
Projects
EE4SME
The EnergyEfficiency4SMEs project aims at increasing the uptake of energy efficiency measures within SMEs of the sectors accommodation and food services, agri-food and metalwork by energy audits and capacity building workshops and the knowledge platform on energy efficiency Impawatt.
EE4HORECA
The EnergyEfficiency4HORECA project aims at increasing the uptake of energy efficiency measures and the use of renewable energy within the HORECA value chain (hotels, restaurants, catering) by capacity building workshops, and the knowledge platform on energy efficiency Impawatt.
REEValue
The REEValue project aims to assist agrifoods manufacturing and logistics companies to cut costs and lower emissions while achieving value chain collaborations.
ICCEE
The Improving Cold Chain Energy Efficiency (ICCEE) project aimed at facilitating the food and beverage sector cold chains to undertake energy efficiency measures after carrying out supply chain energy assessments through expert analytical tools and dedicated stakeholder capacity building programmes.
EcoSMEnergy
The EcoSMEnergy project aims at enhancing energy efficiency and sustainability in SMEs across key sectors, including chemical manufacturing (C20), pharmaceuticals (C21), rubber and plastic products (C22), metal products (C25), electronics (C26), electrical equipment (C27), machinery (C28), and automotive manufacturing (C29).
AUDIT PLUS
The AUDIT PLUS project, funded under the European research framework LIFE-CET-22, aims to help energy-intensive industries (EIIs) improve their energy efficiency through energy audit schemes, using case studies in Ireland, Spain and Poland.
DEESME 2050
The project DEESME 2050 builds on the developed DEESME multiple benefits approach to capacitate, assist and motivate companies to overcome the obstacles in energy efficiency measures uptake in the furniture sector and its value chain, mainly in Bulgaria, France, Italy and Poland.
KNOWnNEBS
In the project KNOWnNEBs, the non-energy benefits of the energy audit are currently to be demonstrated. by conducting interviews and surveys with audited companies.
EENOVA
The EENOVA project aims to tackle some of the main challenges related to the food chain and its high dependence on fossil fuel, by putting an in-depth focus on energy-smart solutions, by assessing and increasing the level of energy efficiency and renewable energy.
EnTRAINER
The EnTRAINER (Energy Transition Audits towards Decarbonization) project aims to introduce a paradigm shift from conventional energy audits to a new, holistic and complete methodology of “Energy Transition Audits” (ETA).
QualiTEE
The project QualiTEE aimed at driving investment in EE investments and services, by enhancing trust, transparency, for “quality” energy efficiency contracts providing“guidelines” setting up 9 criteria and minimum content to be met by energy efficiency contracts, in particulat Energy Performance Contracts (EnPc)
BETTED
The BETTED – Boosting Energy Transition of ThE Dairy value chain – project aims to facilitate companies (especially SMEs) belonging to supply chains in the dairy sector to foster the market uptake of energy efficiency measures including the use of renewables and the deployment of heat pumps at the value chain level.
ENERGIZE
The ENERGIZE project seeks to demonstrate the feasibility of cooperative energy models in selected EU industrial zones in Spain,, Italy, Czech Republic and Upper Austria by fostering energy collaboration.
AENEAM
The project AENEAM
The AENEAM project aims to accelerate the transition of the EU agri-food industry towards a sustainable growth model by increasing the uptake of recommended measures from energy audits.
WESHARE
The WESHARE project is designed to accelerate the business sector’s energy transition by promoting to remove financial, regulatory, and technical barriers to energy cooperation.
Leap for SME
LEAP4SME aims to support Member States in establishing or improving effective policies for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to undergo energy audits and implement cost-effective, recommended energy-saving measures.
Audit to Measure
The project AUDIT2MEASURE assists industrial companies for the implementation of energy efficiency actions.
Energy for Supply
The overall scope of the E4S project is to drive the clean energy transition forward within the supply chain of the manufacturing sector.
