The European Copper Institute (ECI), a partner in the IndustRE project participates in the Workshop "Renewable Energies for Manufacturing Industries" on the 11th and 12th May at the International Energy Agency (IEA) headquarters in Paris, France. Organized by the IEA, the Workshop discusses how renewable energies could make their way into manufacturing industries on a larger scale, as set in the 2 degree scenario of the Energy Technology Perspectives publications, or even beyond. Each topical session discusses the following aspects of each renewable energy source:

Existing and possible future industrial applications

Technical & economical potentials of these applications

Existing technical/market barriers to further deployment and supportive mechanisms
