Transformation of energy-intensive industrial processes by integrating energy, process and raw material flexibility

TRINEFLEX is an innovation project co-funded by the European Commission under the Horizon Europe program that supports the transformation of energy-intensive industrial processes through the integration of energy flexibility and raw material supply. The main objective of TRINEFLEX is to redefine and optimize industrial processes in view of the European Commission’s goal of achieving “net zero emissions” by 2050 in order to limit the increase in global average temperature to below 1.5°C.

LCM contributes its expertise in the development of digital twins, the data connection of industrial systems and the modeling of specific use cases. With user-friendly interfaces and clearly structured data storage solutions, we create the basis for flexible, data-driven energy optimization.

The knowledge gained from TRINEFLEX can easily be transferred to other industries – for more climate protection with high industrial efficiency.

Project requirements

  • Supporting energy-intensive companies on the path to the energy transition
  • Utilization of energy peaks and balancing fluctuating availability of renewable sources
  • Utilization of surplus energy through flexible process adjustments
  • Reduction of energy use and CO₂ emissions through smart technologies

Objectives pursued

  • Development of flexible and efficient energy storage solutions for the integration of renewable energies.
  • Increasing energy efficiency through innovative materials and intelligent control systems.
  • Reducing CO2 emissions and promoting the European energy transition through cost-effective, scalable solutions.

As part of the TRINEFLEX project, LCM is integrating innovative and autonomous sensor solutions into industrial processes, thereby contributing to the digitalization of existing systems. Furthermore, LCM is developing digital twins based on physical models in order to further optimize the underlying processes.

TRINEFLEX is a European project for energy-intensive industries that combines digital transformation and sustainable process design. The aim is to use innovative technologies and smart digital solutions to make industrial processes more flexible and energy-efficient – without sacrificing productivity.
