The BETTED 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. Moreover, the project will also significantly contribute to the reduction of fossil fuels dependency fast tracking the energy transition.
The dairy sector is predominantly organized in cooperatives, which hold the majority of the market share. This factor makes relevant the necessity for cooperation and coordination between different players and increases the potential of a value chain approach. To achieve this integration, the project will implement capacity-building programs and steer companies and value chain decisions for energy saving, renewables, and heat pumps adoption investments with supporting tools.
