Monitoring the twin transition of industrial ecosystems :Energy : renewables : analytical report

This report on Energy - Renewables industrial ecosystem has been prepared in the framework of the ‘European Monitor of Industrial Ecosystems' project, initiated by the European Commission, Directorate General for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs and the European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA). The overall objective of the project is to analyse the green and digital transformation of industrial ecosystems and progress made over time. It contributes to the analysis of the key pillars put forward in the Blueprint for the development of transition pathways of the Industrial Forum in 2022. This report complements existing knowledge on the energy transition and on the performance of the energy and renewables ecosystem. It contributes to the understanding of renewable energy use across industrial ecosystems and explores how digital technologies affect energy systems. The report has a mixed-method approach: the analysis relied on own data collected within the EMI project such as patent statistics, survey, text mining of company websites, investment and startup data and it reviewed existing Eurostat and industry statistics including desk research and literature review.
