Areti Ntaradimou joined by Laurent Schmit from Project EDDIE, an EU-driven initiative transforming how energy data is accessed and shared across Europe. By building a decentralized, open-source Data Space aligned with EU Clean Energy Package rules, EDDIE supports interoperability, strengthens Europe’s energy resilience, and reinforces the EU’s geopolitical and economic ambitions.

In this episode of the EU Energy Projects Podcast, Gianluca Lipari and Daniel Pombo offer a closer look at how AGISTIN is working to accelerate industrial decarbonisation by focusing on one key element: integration.

At its core, the project explores how energy storage can be seamlessly embedded into industrial processes, alongside local renewable generation such as solar PV. The aim is not only to store energy, but to optimise how it is produced, managed and consumed on-site, whether for green hydrogen production, electric vehicle charging, or even irrigation systems.

What makes this approach particularly relevant today is the shift towards hybrid industrial energy systems. These environments bring together multiple assets - generation, storage and complex industrial loads - which must operate in coordination. AGISTIN addresses this through advanced grid interfaces and DC coupling, enabling these different components to interact more efficiently and with fewer energy losses.

In this episode, Jonathan Spencer Jones talks to TRINEFLEX project manager Asif Mohammed about the projects impact in process sectors glass, aluminium, copper and wastewater treatment.

Underlying this decarbonisation is the need for digital transformation with solutions and services for its delivery. And this is where TRINEFLEX comes in – a Horizon Europe supported project, which was launched in September 2022 to develop a toolkit for managing this transformation and facilitating the transition towards more flexible and sustainable industrial processes.

Looking back at the project, which is due to wrap up in August 2026, Mohammed says it has evolved in three main phases – project design, development and integration and the current, and arguably the most important, validation and demonstration.
