European research project will look to reduce energy usage in the dairy industry

By introducing innovations and further developing technologies the Enthalpy project aims to reduce energy consumed for the production of powdered milk by 60%. This reduction will be achieved by combining innovative technologies advanced by a number of ENTHALPY partners located within Europe. Such reductions will have a significant impact on production processes and energy consumption levels in the dairy industry and exceed the target set by the European Commission to reduce energy consumption in such processes by 20% and by the year 2020.

TNO is the Dutch research organisation that takes the lead in the European project called “ENTHALPY”. 3800 TNO professionals use knowledge and experience to create smart solutions to complex issues.

INOXPA, ITRAM HIGIENE, ORDESA Group, IRTA (Institut de Recerca i Tecnologia Agroalimentàries), IREC (Institut de Recerca en Energia de Catalunya), UAB (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona) are the Catalan companies and organisations that participate in the project.
