Technology Collaboration Programme
Advancing the research, development and commercialisation of energy technologies
The IEA Technology Collaboration Programme supports the work of 38 independent, international groups of experts that enable governments and industries from around the world to lead programmes and projects on a wide range of energy technologies and related issues.
More about collaboration on
Industrial Energy-Related Technologies and Systems (IETS)
The IETS TCP focuses on energy use in a broad range of industry sectors with significant potential for emissions and cost savings. The IETS TCP work programme ranges from aspects relating to development of processes and energy technologies, to overall system analysis and energy efficiency in industry sectors.
Main areas of work
- Analysis relating to scientific research, development, demonstration and deployment
- Technology and systems foresighting
- Technology and systems assessment of policies and consequence
- Information dissemination
Key activities and accomplishments (2017-18)
- Industry-based biorefineries
- Membrane filtration for energy-efficient separation of lignocellulosic biomass components
- Industrial excess heat recovery – technologies and applications
- The role of process integration for greenhouse gas mitigation in industry
- The role of industrial biorefineries in a low carbon economy
- Reports are available for all key activities
Priorities and projects (2019-20)
- Digitalization, artificial intelligence and related technologies for energy efficiency and GHG emissions reduction in industry
- Electrification in industry
- Decision support tools and ex-ante research for evaluating bioeconomy transformation strategies
- International expert workshop on deep decarbonisation in industry, Vienna, 9-11 October 2019
Membership
- Central Research Institute of Electric Power Industry (CRIEPI)
- Ricerca sul Sistema Energetico (RSE)
- EURAC Research
- Limerick Institute of Technology
- Universidad de la Costa
Why should your organisation become a member of IETS?
Industrial systems must drastically reduce their GHG emissions in order to meet global emissions reduction target. Through its activities of knowledge sharing and dissemination among public and private sector, the IETS TCP increases awareness of technology and energy efficiency in industry, contributes to synergies between different systems and technologies, and enhances international cooperation related to sustainable development.
