      Call for solutions

      The next call for EVOLEN' UP solutions will be announce on 10th June 2021.

       

      Startups, we invite you to to submit your application and may have the change to pitch your innovative solution to the EVOLEN' UP partners during the next selection event on September.

      Previous call for solution (january-march 2021)

      The main mission of EVOLEN' UP is to research and support new solutions to energy challenges and to make cheap, reliable and clean energy available to as many people as possible- a vector of progress.

       

      Our industry is facing new challenges such as :

      • Reducing the environmental impact of our activities;
      • Reducing and adapting our energy consumption;
      • Necessary evolution of our self-consumed energy mix.


      Overal, we aim to improve our operational efficiency through greater flexibility, reliability and maintainability of our facilities with a greatly improved carbon footprint throughout their life cycle.

       

      We are on the path to decarbonating our processes, products or any initiative aimed at decarbonating the activities of our customers and the end users of our products and services.

       

      We are therefore looking for solutions that allow us to :

      • Reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and our carbon footprint in particular, in all our activities, both direct and indirect ;
      • Offer new low carbon products and services to our customers;
      • Contribute to carbon neutrality by offsetting, such as CO2 storage and use (CCUS);
      • Develop recycling solutions for our infrastructures in an optimised approach based on the analysis of their complete life cycle.

      Focus on two themes for the previous call for solutions (january-march 2021)

      For this new session, we invite you to contribute to two themes that are crucial for our industrial sector.

      The role of hydrogen in the energy transition

      The European Commission has defined a roadmap to produce decarbonated hydrogen, in particular through the electrolysis of water from renewable electricity. More recently in France, the government announced last September an investment plan for the green hydrogen sector.

       

      Hydrogen has a key role to play in the energy transition. At present, for economic reasons, hydrogen is 95% derived from natural gas. The acceleration of the development of decarbonated hydrogen is defined by as a priority project(s) in the French (AAP) and European (Green Deal, IPCEI) recovery plans.

       

      This thematic call for solutions addresses the role of hydrogen in the energy transition. It aims at its valorisation along the whole value chain of system design, production, storage and distribution for the different uses and their massification.

      • Production of renewable (green) hydrogen by electrolysis of water from electricity supplied by renewable energies in order to decarbonise industrial processes;
      • Production of blue hydrogen from "low-carbon" sources;
      • Valorisation of hydrogen in the gas sector either by direct injection into gas networks for combustion or by production of synthetic methane - Transformation of gas networks;
      • Production of electricity from hydrogen using fuel cells;

      • Transformation of hydrogen into another fuel;

      • Production of natural hydrogen (white hydrogen) or storage of hydrogen in underground cavities.

       

       

      This theme is developed in partnership with the EVOLEN Committee "Hydrogen and Industry".

      Environmental Monitoring

      Industrial societies are now integrating the constraints linked to climate change. Technological solutions that reduce energy consumption, reduce the carbon footprint and use environmentally friendly energies are to be favoured in order to achieve objectives of reducing the environmental footprint of the various industrial activities, or even to achieve broader ambitions of carbon neutrality.

       

      An environmental monitoring solution is a system for supervising key industrial parameters to measure, control and prevent their environmental impacts

       

      The theme of this new call for solutions targets new technologies, processes, products and services to reduce environmental impacts in the energy ecosystem, while increasing risk control.

      Without being exhaustive, we can point out in particular​:
      • the diagnosis and monitoring to assess the quality of resources;
      • the quantification of organic pollutants or rare metals (lithium) in different matrices (water, sediments, air, liquid or gaseous effluents);
      •the capture and quantification of greenhouse gases (CH4, CO2, etc.);
      • the development and improvement of processes for the treatment of liquid or gaseous effluents;
      • the management of resources on an industrial site (energy, water, pollutant flows, raw materials, products);
      • the management and control of the polluting risk;

      • the study and implementation of resource recycling (reuse);

      • the modelling and associated digitalisation.

       

      EVOLEN' UP it's 3 guiding principles

      TO IMPROVE OUR OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY

      • New capacity for conception and manufacturing (i.e. additives manufacturing), new processes

      • Robotization and automation

      • Digital transformation (Big data, IA, IIoT, Virtual Reality, ...)

      • Safety, cyber-security

      • Project management, construction, installation, operation

      • Methodology and simplification of operations (Lean)

      • Logistic, transport, supply chain

      TO REDUCE THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF OUR ACTIVITIES

      • Better management of the resources used (raw materials, energy, re-use, recycling, LCA)

      • To measure and minimise emissions and discharges of all types

      • Capture, storage, valorisation and neutraliser of CO2 (CCUS)

      • To add value to unavoidable energy

      • To develop the environmental monitoring of digital transformation

      TO DEVELOP LOW-CARBON ENERGY SOLUTIONS

      • Hydrogen

      • Green Gas

      • Synthetic fuels, biofuels, green chemistry

      • Marine Renewable Energies

      • Offshore Wind

      • Geothermal energy & coproducts from/ of the exploitation of sub-surface (lithium…)

      • Synergy of multi-energies

      • Technologies of production, storage, transport and distribution of energy in a systemic approach / LCA
