Processes4Planet

Basic Information

Description

Processes4Planet Partnership, has the potential to develop the solutions to transform the European process industries further. The goal is to support them in becoming frontrunners in the transition to climate neutrality and circularity in alignment with the EU Green Deal goals.
Processes4Planet will pursue the goal of a fair and inclusive transition that guarantees competitiveness for business, new skills for employees with a gender balance perspective.

The successor to the Horizon 2020 SPIRE Partnership, Process4Planet aims to achieve three general objectives:
1. Developing and deploying climate neutral solutions: P4Planet aims to contribute to the climate neutrality of the overall European economy by bringing technological and non-technological innovations to readiness for subsequent deployment.
2. Closing the energy and feedstock loops: process industries will develop and deploy sustainable circular business models through technological and non-technological innovations, cross-sectoral collaboration and engagement with the local ecosystem. This will help them evolve towards resource circularity and improved resource efficiency. P4Planet aims to achieve near-zero landfilling and near-zero (waste) water discharge in 2050.
3. Achieving global leadership in climate-neutral and circular solutions, accelerating innovation and unlocking public and private investment: innovation is needed to make climate-neutral and circular solutions more attractive. The competitive position of the European process industries will benefit from global leadership in these economically attractive solutions, as well as from a strengthened integration in the economic fabric of European regions and the Member States.
