EENOVA Project

In today’s Austrian bakeries, the same warmth still drives creation, but now heat recovery and efficient systems can reuse that energy instead of losing it.
Picasso balanced colour and light; we balance kilowatts and taste.

#EENOVART - “Still Life with Bread and Apples” by Pablo Picasso

When Picasso painted his quiet table of bread and fruit, ovens were fired with wood and every loaf baked by hand. Heat escaped freely, and energy meant smoke and labour.

Lithuania’s beverage producers now depend on refrigeration, carbonation, and packaging, energy-intensive processes that EENOVA aim to improve through energy audits.
What once travelled by sail now moves by circuit; efficiency can steer the course.

“Still Life with Lemons" by Jan Davidsz de Heem

In de Heem’s vibrant still life, citrus and glass shimmered, luxuries brought by wind and sail, cooled only by the season. Drinks were precious because making and moving them cost effort, not electricity.

What if an energy audit actually told you something useful?

Not theory. Not paperwork. Real insights that show where energy is wasted, what can be fixed quickly, and why even simple data can unlock serious savings.

Discover how EENOVA, co-funded by the EU LIFE Clean Energy Transition Programme, is revolutionising energy efficiency in the food industry. Through collaborative roundtables and actionable energy… Transforming the Food Industry: Energy Efficiency Through EENOVA

Happy New Year from EENOVA!
This is our final calendar year, with less than twelve months left to deliver the full results of a project that began in 2023.

To jog the memory, here is the video we released in 2024. It sums up where we started and why the work matters.

The EENOVA consortium extends best wishes for the festive season🎄2025 has been a year of progress for our work on improving energy efficiency across regional food value chains. Together with our partners and stakeholders, we advanced to support a more sustainable and resilient food system in Europe.

#EENOVA collaborates with regional actors to strengthen value chains, improve energy performance, and help businesses adopt solutions that are realistic and scalable. A more efficient chain benefits everyone: companies, consumers, and the climate.

The journey of festive food is longer than it seems 🎁🚚

Raw materials, processing, storage, packaging, transport, every step consumes energy. When Christmas demand rises, inefficiencies become both more visible and more costly.

#EENOVA works with regional value chains to support practical, data-driven improvements that help companies cut energy waste, reduce costs, and stay competitive during peak periods. Sustainable choices aren’t only long-term commitments; they matter most when demand is at its highest

#LIFEprogramme

As Christmas approaches, food consumption surges and so does the energy demand behind every product on our tables. From bakeries scaling up production to beverage processors running at full capacity, the festive season highlights how essential energy efficiency has become for a resilient food sector

EENOVA at AgriFood Forum 2025 was represented by our partner AgroTransilvania Cluster. We were also pleased to see our partner AgriFood Lithuania present at the forum, strengthening the project’s visibility.

We presented at the 12th scientific symposium Ločniškarjevi dnevi, focused on “Challenges in the Dairy Industry – Opportunities for Research and Development.”

We highlighted:
🔍 Challenges across the Slovenian dairy value chain
📈 Progress achieved within EENOVA so far
⚡ Future steps for improvement

What if Europe’s food industries could turn Energy Audits into real, policy-ready transition pathways? Five regions just tried exactly that!

But what actually happened inside those sessions?
Which scenarios passed the “reality test”… and which raised bigger questions?
