Purpose and goal
INDENZ aims to accelerate the development, implementation and scaling of Industrial Site Electrification Solutions (ISES) to drive system-level transformation towards a resource-efficient, resilient and fossil-free Swedish manufacturing industry. By integrating electric vehicles, charging infrastructure, digital solutions and advanced services into tailor-made systems at the plant level, ISES offers significant potential to reduce CO₂ emissions & increase resource efficiency within industry.
Expected effects and result
The project will develop and test at least four ISES, co-create business models with multiple actors, identify systemic barriers and develop a strategic roadmap for national and international scaling. The results are expected to significantly contribute to Sweden´s net zero goal while strengthening the global competitiveness of Swedish industry.
Planned approach and implementation
The project is led by Luleå University of Technology and is being implemented in close collaboration with industry partners such as Volvo CE, Epiroc, ABB, Hitachi Energy, Swecon, Boliden, Stena Recycling, Business Sweden, Svensk Fordonsladdning, and Skanska. Four work packages focus on solution development, business models, scale-up strategies and dissemination. Through co-creation, system challenges and paths towards large-scale electrification of industrial sites are addressed.
