European Commission signs 7-year innovation partnership with Europe’s process industry

22 January 2014

The Sustainable Process Industry Public-Private Partnership (SPIRE PPP) has been officially launched. It will be implemented through Horizon 2020 calls and is backed by approximately 1 billion EUR in funding commitment from the European Commission (EC), to be matched by the process Industry.
SPIRE will achieve its goals by investing in breakthrough technologies that will reduce resources and energy used in processes as well as industrial emissions and waste; will reuse resources and materials from end-of-life products; will replace current feedstock by integrating renewables or waste and will reinvent processes, equipment and business models (News Release Spire, 17 December 2013).
