• Acronym and project title | FundiRoaD - Decarbonisation Roadmap for the Portuguese Foundry Sector
  • Leader | Portuguese Foundry Association (APF)
  • Description |The Decarbonisation Roadmap for the Foundry Sector in Portugal (FundiRoaD) is meant to be the basic document for the strategic alignment of the sector in the areas of Decarbonisation, Energy Transition and Sustainability, in close alignment with the national greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets for 2050. The roadmap aims to stimulate the adoption of more sustainable and innovative practices by companies in the sector, their qualification for a more efficient and effective use of material and energy resources, as well as the use of innovative digital technologies towards digital transformation. The Roadmap will include an analysis of GHG emissions trajectories to achieve carbon neutrality in the sector, supported by modelling exercises, with analysis of different macroeconomic scenarios comparing the technical and economic viability of technologies and processes and the evolution of their technological maturity over time.

OBJECTIVES, ACTIVITIES AND RESULTS EXPECTED / ACHIEVED 

It aims to promote the energy transition in industry, the incorporation of low-carbon production processes that promote innovation and competitiveness and the adoption of digital technologies in pursuit of sustainability goals. To this end, the Association has drawn up an action plan comprising six key activities:

  • Activity 1 - Framework of the foundry sector in the portuguese economy.
  • Activity 2 - Caraterisation of the foundry sector.
  • Activity 3 - Benchmarking analyses.
  • Activity 4 - Decarbonisation Strategic Plan.
  • Activity 5 - Scenario elaboration and emissions modelling.
  • Activity 6 - Discussion, dissemination and capacity development of resources.
