The European COOPERANT project participated in the Thermal Energy Decarbonization Summit 2025 (TEDS2025), held at the Basque Country Technology Park in Vitoria-Gasteiz. The summit convened industry professionals, innovators, and policy decision-makers to address the pressing challenge of decarbonizing high-temperature industrial thermal processes.
Representing the project, coordinator IDENER.AI presented a dedicated technical poster highlighting COOPERANT’s latest advancements in Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) and Thermal Energy Storage (TES). The presentation sparked engaging discussions among attendees on how high-temperature solar thermal energy can replace fossil fuels across energy-intensive industrial sectors.
Driving Clean Heat and Energy Flexibility
TEDS2025 provided an invaluable platform to align COOPERANT’s technical roadmap with the evolving needs of industrial end-users and clean energy markets.
Key takeaways highlighted by the team include:
- High-Temperature Process Heat: Demonstrating how CSP-TES systems can supply continuous, high-temperature heat directly to demanding industrial operations.
- AI-Powered Management: Showcasing how COOPERANT’s AI tools optimize energy capture, storage, and distribution to maximize cost efficiency.
- Circular & Sustainable Models: Presenting scalable decarbonization pathways suitable for industrial companies of varying sizes.
- Industry Engagement: Building strategic connections with key stakeholders across the industrial energy value chain.
Advancing the Transition to Zero-Carbon Industry
The COOPERANT consortium extends its gratitude to the organizers of TEDS2025 for facilitating an inspiring forum dedicated to industrial decarbonization. The insights and partnerships gained in Vitoria-Gasteiz will further accelerate the project’s technical validation milestones.
