The ENOUGH project will provide technologies, tools and methods to contribute to the EU Farm to Fork strategy to achieve climate neutral food businesses. The partnership draws together 29 partners from 11 EU nations and the UK with expertise across the whole food chain.
The ENOUGH objectives are:
i) Reducing greenhouse gas-emissions by at least 50% by 2050
ii) Reducing energy use and increasing energy efficiency by 2030
iii) Increasing the overall sustainability of food systems
iv) Providing selected innovative technological systemic solutions and their potential for uptake at EU
The ENOUGH project is constructed the following steps:
• 1990 and 2020 baselines for greenhouse gas emissions will be identified and will then forecast how emissions will change moving forward to 2030 and 2050
• Energy efficient measures and new technologies that are vital to achieve the maximum reductions in emissions will be identified
• Existing information and models from previous research will be used to develop a web-based tool that will identify the benefits of thermal integration heating and cooling and provide information on potential global emission reductions across the whole food chain
• Data from food process and the food supply chain will be used to optimize and better control operations and technologies to minimize emissions
• Social behaviour, policy and finance can add to the GHG reductions target will be examined
• A set of the most promising technologies have been pre-selected for demonstration based on their relevance and readiness. Additional technologies/operational adaptations will be added during the project and will be selected using a robust process managed by the coordinator and demonstrated in real life
• Work from the ENOUGH project will be widely disseminated with an ambitious communication plan
