Partners have announced the project through different channels, highlighting diverse expertise and shared goals
The launch of the GREENOLIVE project is resonating beyond the consortium! In recent weeks, project partners announced their participation through official press releases on their institutional websites and channels. Each team brings a unique perspective and expertise to GREENOLIVE, and their individual announcements highlight how this pan-Mediterranean collaboration aligns with their specific mission:
Università eCampus, Italy, leads project management, communication, and dissemination. Its technical role includes the integration of the solar thermal system and the development of the plant’s control system.
Universitat de Barcelona, Spain, partners on materials research for TES and power-to-heat technology. The institution leads the environmental and economic impact assessment to quantify the project’s benefits.
Çukurova Üniversitesi, Türkiye, contributes expertise in thermal energy storage materials. Its members will coordinate the preliminary testing and technical performance monitoring at the demonstration site in Adana.
CIEMAT & Plataforma Solar de Almería, Spain, is a specialist in modelling thermal energy storage (TES) operations and developing power-to-heat applications. The partner will lead R&D activities and validate the TES system and electric heaters.
ASCHEM Petrochemical Inc., Türkiye, will host the demonstration plant. Its role encompasses system manufacture, assembly, integration with its industrial processes, and long-term testing.
R2M Solutions, France, concentrates its efforts on exploitation strategy, business modelling, and guiding the project’s comprehensive communication and dissemination activities.
The Arab Academy for Science, Technology, and Maritime Transport, Egypt, and Al-Quds University, Palestine, are committed to capacity building and replication. Their work involves creating lab-scale replicas, training materials, and organising technical workshops to ensure knowledge transfer across the Mediterranean.
While each partner communicates from a distinct institutional perspective, the core message converges on the shared vision of demonstrating that solar-driven industrial heat is a technically viable and economically scalable reality. By disseminating the news through their own networks, the GREENOLIVE consortium amplifies the project’s visibility. The coordinated outreach engages diverse audiences — from industry and academia to policymakers and local communities — laying the groundwork for inspiring a broader transition to clean industrial heat across the region.
