Energy Shift
Optimal solutions with high impact
« A fundamental shift is necessary in the way our societies produce, transform and use energy. Industrial processes, mobility and construction solutions are fundamentally reinvented to reduce environmental impact through integrating cleaner energy sources ranging from upgraded waste materials to renewables”.
Jean Borlee
Unit Manager Energy and Low Impact Industry
In 2023, the EU set the scope through the European Green Deal aiming to reduce our net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030, compared to 1990 levels and enabling us to become the first climate-neutral continent by 2050.
To reach those objectives, innovative energy shift solutions such as CO2 reduction, integrated systems linked to renewable energy production, storage facilities, and the introduction of new molecules like hydrogen are crucial to achieve a sustainable and decarbonized industrial future for Europe.

CO2 reduction and waste to energy solutions
As part of our energy shift solutions, we focus on conditioning and treating various types of waste to serve as synthetic fuel. Additionally, we implement industrial CO₂ mitigation and carbon capture usage and storage (CCUS) strategies to lower the carbon footprint of energy-intensive industries.
Renewable energy production and storage
Development of integrated photovoltaic technology and solutions for structures and coatings in the wind energy and battery applications domain
Hydrogen value chain
Covering the full value chain of the hydrogen ecosystem by offering exceptional measuring tools, insight on material selection for transport and storage as well as production processes like electrolysis of water. With the e-WallonHy network and Belgian Hydrogen Council a true hydrogen valley can be created.
Integrated systems and efficiency
Specific competence was developed around waste heat recovery and smart grids that connect different production and consumption elements. Active elements like phase change materials allow optimal storage and energy efficiency in integrated systems.
Projects
Safe H-DRI
Safe transport of DRI from H2-based direct reduction considering quality-related H-DRI reactivity, stability, the efficiency of passivation methods and health and recycling aspects
