?? EENOVA & The Clean Industrial Deal: Driving Energy Efficiency in Food Processing ?? The Clean Industrial Deal, presented by the European Commission, highlights the urgent need to lower energy bills while accelerating the shift to clean, affordable, and secure energy. A key focus? Strengthening Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) and Contracts for Difference (CFDs) to stabilize electricity costs and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. ?? This aligns directly with EENOVA’s mission—helping food processing value chains adopt energy-smart solutions to cut costs and emissions. The food industry is energy-intensive, yet many companies still depend on fossil fuels. EENOVA is changing that by introducing renewable energy strategies, efficiency improvements, and collaborative action plans across the bakery, meat, dairy, wine, and beverage sectors. ? How EENOVA fits into the Clean Industrial Deal’s vision: ? Lowering costs: By optimizing energy use and integrating renewables, EENOVA helps food companies mitigate volatile energy prices. ? Empowering SMEs: EENOVA supports small businesses in making sustainable energy choices. ? Boosting grid resilience: Our approach aligns with the upcoming European Grid Package, ensuring that clean energy flows efficiently where it’s needed. The food industry must act now to future-proof operations and remain competitive. Through EENOVA, we are paving the way for a resilient, low-carbon food processing sector. ?? ??

?? Behind the Scenes: How Energy Audits Drive Change ?? At EENOVA, the journey toward a greener food sector begins with one crucial step: energy audits. These audits are the backbone of our work, helping us identify inefficiencies and uncover opportunities to reduce energy consumption and increase the use of renewables across food processing and logistics. ?? What’s an energy audit? It’s a deep dive into the energy use of companies and value chains, analyzing everything from production processes to transportation. By pinpointing inefficiencies, we provide actionable insights to make operations more energy-efficient and sustainable. ? The Results? Optimized energy use across value chains. Reduced carbon footprints in industries like baking, winemaking, and dairy. Roadmaps to achieve long-term sustainability goals. ?? Why It Matters? Energy audits are more than just numbers – they’re the foundation of actionable change. Helping food producers understand their energy landscape enables them to make smarter choices that lead to a more resilient and sustainable future.
