PROJECT
RSE S.p.A.
EU-MERCI
The EU-MERCI project, coordinated by RSE and funded under the Horizon program, has the main goal to provide industrial enterprises and policy makers with best practices and tools to increase the competitiveness of the EU industry by improving the efficient use of energy. EU-MERCI has identified a series of “Good Practices” of implementation of energy efficiency projects, drawing from the experience of thousands real cases of application of energy efficiency support schemes in Europe, in order to support the effective implementation of the EU Energy Efficiency Directive. The collected case studies, disseminated through an extensive capacity building action, allow industrial enterprises to catch the opportunities related to energy efficiency actions.
Besides, the analysis of the existing energy efficiency support schemes can help policy makers in designing new support schemes or improving the existing ones. The lessons learnt from countries with consolidated energy efficiency schemes in place can be transferred to countries less advanced. A stakeholder community dealing with industrial energy efficiency policies and actions has also been created, to accelerate and facilitate the path toward the 2030 energy efficiency targets.
