The following innovation fields serve as an inspiration for possible solutions, however Scale-ups with any solutions in the GreenTech field are invited to apply for the project.

  • Comprehensive Energy Value Chain: Essen is a hub for the entire energy value chain, from renewable generation to energy storage and distribution, providing a collaborative environment for GreenTech solutions that can enhance energy security and efficiency. 
  • Ammonia Production: Green ammonia production is a key area of interest, particularly for its role in both energy storage and as a carbon-free fuel for various industries. Technologies that advance ammonia production from renewable sources are in high demand. 
  • Carbon Capture (Storage/Utilization): Solutions for carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) are critical in decarbonizing heavy industries. Innovations that capture and repurpose CO₂ emissions into valuable products will be key drivers of sustainable industrial practices. 
  • Hydrogen: As a core element in decarbonizing industries, green hydrogen is a high-priority technology in Essen. This includes its application in steel production, chemical manufacturing, and as a clean fuel alternative for energy-intensive sectors. 
  • Industrial Applications of Process Heat: Technologies that address process heat in industrial applications, especially in sectors like steel and chemical production, are crucial for achieving higher energy efficiency and lowering emissions in heavy industry.
