EIT InnoEnergy

EIT InnoEnergy brings people and resources together, catalysing and accelerating the energy transition. New ideas, products and solutions that make a real difference, and new businesses and people to deliver them to market. Operating at the centre of the energy transition, we build connections worldwide, bringing together innovators and industry, entrepreneurs and investors, graduates and employers.

We are also spearheading the way to a decarbonised Europe by 2050 through the leadership of three industrial alliances: battery storage, green hydrogen and solar photovoltaics. These alliances bring together the knowledge and experience required to support large industrial projects, which directly impact the energy trilemma: reducing the cost of energy, limiting greenhouse emissions and increasing availability and security. Ultimately, these actions play a fundamental role in realising our goal of a carbon neutral Europe by 2050.

All this is made possible thanks to our rich network of more than 1,200 key players from 18 different countries. Together we act as a key vehicle for the energy transition and make up the ingredients needed to bring a constant pipeline of sustainable energy innovation to market.

“Climate change is one of the great challenges of our time. Promoting sustainable innovations and making them commercially successful is a very essential component of a successful energy transition.”

  • Low-Carbon Basic Materials

    Basic materials such as steel, cement, chemicals and lime account for almost half of Germany’s industrial emissions. This poster sets out the options for decarbonizing their production. Five cross-cutting levers for industrial decarbonization are described: direct electrification, material circularity, energy efficiency, green hydrogen and PtX, and CCU/CCS. A case study then walks through the options…

  • Carbon Capture

    This two-page poster provides an overview of the carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) value chain and its associated technologies. CO₂ can be captured from industrial point sources or directly from the air. Then, it can be used in industrial processes or permanently stored to prevent its release into the atmosphere. The poster compares three…

  • Hydrogen

    The potential contribution of hydrogen as a clean energy carrier to industrial decarbonization is outlined in this concise knowledge poster. It explains why hydrogen must be produced through dedicated processes and compares the main hydrogen production pathways through the commonly used color code. The poster then focuses on green hydrogen, presenting the main electrolysis technologies:…
