Since the introduction of the IPPC (International Pollution Prevention and Control) directive and of the BREF documents, BATs (best available techniques) have become a reference both for policies and for companies, to compare performance and to identify investment opportunities. Due to the environmental core of the IPPC rst, and of the IED (Industrial Emissions Directive) aer, energy eciency BATs are not always detailed and oen lack energy performance indicators. e H2020 EUMERCI project, aimed at fostering and facilitating the implementation of energy eciency projects in the manufacturing industry sectors by selecting and disseminating technological and policy best practices.

A set of energy eciency good practices was developed both considering BREF indications, literature analysis and, as innovative approach, the outcomes of energy eciency obligation and support measures aimed at the industrial sector. is was implemented through an indepth analysis of the existing schemes in Austria, Italy, Poland and UK carried on by AEA, RSE, FIRE, KAPE and Carbon Trust. A project that required a thorough activity to normalise and compare the data made available by the dierent schemes.e outcome is available through the EIEEP (European Industrial Energy Eciency good Practices) platform implemented by EUMERCI Partners.

On the web site, a database of energy eciency projects implemented in industry under the existing schemes is available. e database is searchable by country, sector, supporting scheme, implementation year, and company size. e complete list is also downloadable as Excel le. Besides, a library divided by sectors is available, in which it is possible to look for the available good practices (both BATs and projects implemented under the national schemes) for each phase of the manufacturing processes. Sectoral and national analysis are nally available.e paper illustrates the methodology used for the project and the main outcomes, also by applying the methodology to a sector in Italian industry and comparing the results with EUMERCI ones.
