Industrial Sustainable Processes: the EU Innovation Centre for Industrial Transformation and Emissions (INCITE)

Industrial activities are key for Europe’s wealth, but are also accountable for air, water and soil pollution. As part of the Industrial Emissions Directive, the main EU instrument regulating pollutant emissions from industrial installations, the EU Innovation Centre for Industrial Transformation and Emissions - INCITE identifies and evaluates emerging cutting-edge technologies and processes, committed to decarbonisation, depollution, and the increase of resource efficiency and circularity, paving the way for a more resilient and environmentally conscious industrial sector.
The seminar will focus on European policies, the activity of the centre, and the presentation of case studies.

Speaker: Sonia Fereres Rapoport
