The EU Projects Zone Podcast: RETROFEED with Luca Ferrari

In this episode of the EU Projects Zone Podcast, Areti Ntaradimou talks to Luca Ferrari about the ways in which RETROFEED will support industrial users.

Luca Ferrari is a senior energy consultant and responsible for the development of the digital tool of the project. In this podcast episode, he explains the project’s objectives and innovations.

"The idea on which RETROFEED is focusing is ways to reduce emission and increase the energy efficiency of industrial processes," says Luca. The word RETROFEED itself comes from the retrofitting of industrial applications.

"What we are trying to do is create technologies and innovation that could reuse materials in a different way, creating some circular economy and some synergies between different processes," says Luca.

At the same time, the project is trying to lower the impact on the environment of industrial processes and create innovation.

And in addition, the project is "paving the way for future application also on a digital level because we think it's important now to start monitoring emission and energy efficiency on this industrial processes".

And how would one tackle the issue of local rules and regulations which might be different from country to country even within the union? Well, "luckily", says Luca, "digital solutions are borderless. So we could develop them n Italy and apply them in other the places as well".

Listen to the discussion and find out also how the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the operation of RETROFEED and how the issue was tackled.
