Discover the ALLICE 2026 study topics!
This highly diverse programme covers three distinct approaches led by dedicated working groups and addresses the challenges faced by manufacturers and our members, who represent the entire decarbonisation value chain.
- Circularity and economic and financing models;
- Integration of alternative energies;
- High-performance processes;
Study 50 - Barriers and drivers to the deployment of demand response with or without storage solutions (market study).
This study will analyse the mechanisms for balancing the electricity grid through demand response and storage, with the aim of improving the cost-effectiveness of total or partial electrification via hybridisation. It will provide a market analysis of electricity and thermal storage at industrial sites, offering economic analyses according to different consumption profiles.
The study report sent to members will be accompanied by an Excel tool for economic simulations.
Study 51 - Diversification of the energy mix: comparison of options and prioritisation (technical and economic study)
ALLICE has already carried out several studies to analyse different levers for decarbonising the energy mix: electrification, integration of decarbonised gases, renewable energy sources, etc. Given this diversity, how can we choose the most suitable solutions for decarbonising an industrial process? How can we take into account the specific needs, technical constraints and economic context of a given site?
This study aims to develop a solution prioritisation scheme to guide discussions, in line with the PACTE Industrie training programme on the subject.
Study 52 - Energy optimisation and decarbonisation of distillation (technical and economic study/state of the art).
Distillation is a major area of consumption in many industrial sectors. The aim of this study is to list and compare decarbonisation solutions for distillation columns.
Case studies in key sectors (agri-food, chemicals, pharmaceuticals and petrochemicals) will be used to identify the best available technologies and innovations currently in development.
Study 53 -Adiabatic cooling for industrial premises (technical and economic study)
Adiabatic cooling is an alternative solution for cooling industrial premises. It limits the demand for cooling associated with air conditioning, particularly during periods of high heat. These periods are becoming increasingly frequent and are a source of production stoppages and employee complaints.
This study will review existing technologies, analyse constraints and equipment sizing issues, and consider costs, with the aim of developing a calculation tool for evaluating the IRR of cooling.
Some favourite studies were also identified, and one of them may be carried out by ALLICE during 2026 :
- Geothermal energy for industry
- What outlet for low-temperature heat?
- Scope 3 decarbonisation: industrial REXs
- Performance measurement: instrumentation and data processing
[As part of our international development, our future studies will also be translated into English.]
ALLICE is the leading alliance for industrial decarbonisation. With over 130 members from diverse industries, ALLICE aims to accelerate the low-carbon transition by connecting, informing, and supporting European stakeholders through a cross-sector approach.
