IndustryPLAN

IndustryPLAN is a tool for analysing the industrial energy demands of European countries. The tool provides a bottom-up top-down approach in which first the “black box” of industry is opened up with country-based data and technology data from the bottom-up in each industrial sector. In a top-down approach measures are implemented on the sub-sectors, aggregated and connected to a GDP development and saturation rates of new technologies. The IndustryPLAN tool is established based on the following overarching ambitions:

1. To provide a platform for implementing the guiding principles for energy efficiency in industry.

2. Enabling the establishment of tangible future scenarios for the industry sector as a part of smart energy systems.
