The European ceramic industry emits 19 million tonnes of CO2 annually, accounting for about 1% of total European industrial emissions. In order to drastically reduce them and achieve climate neutrality by 2050, Insertec, together with 17 partners from 9 European countries, has joined the eLITHE project.
The objective of eLITHE is to develop highly efficient and safe electric high temperature heating processes that replace fossil-based heating systems in the industrial ceramic sector.
To achieve this, three different pathways will be studied to achieve full electrification of heating processes through 3 demosites and their three digital twins:
🖈 Induction and electrode-based heating for frits melting
🖈 Microwave-assisted heating
🖈 Hybrid furnace for brick firing
