green blue energy factory – bulgaria market analysis - GBEfactory

1 Objectives and scope of the GBE Factory project
Green-Blue-Energy Factory (GBE Factory) - co-financed by the Intelligent Energy Europe
Programme, supported by the European Commission.
The project promotes the concept of “GREEN-BLUE-ENERGY FACTORY”: industrial and
commercial buildings equipped with single or combined renewable energy sources, able to
provide electricity, heating and cooling for the air conditioning of premises, as well as for the
business activities housed therein.
A GBE Factory can be a single industrial or commercial building working with “zero carbon
emissions”, or one or more buildings equipped with plants producing renewable energy,
which can be distributed to the surrounding companies of the same industrial or commercial
area. The project’s main partners are public bodies, organizations and ESCOs coming from
the EU (Italy, Germany, Austria, Slovakia and Bulgaria).
RE sources that the project intends to consider in GBE FACTORIES will generally be
represented by:
Photovoltaic on building: kWel
Solar thermal on building: kWth
Hybrid integrated systems (PH + ST): kWel + kWth
Biomass Generators
a. Generators PPO - SVO: kWel + kWth
b. Plant biomass generators: kWel + kWth
c. Biomass from waste generators: kWel + kWth
Wind turbines: kWel
Geothermal systems: kWth
Other: KWel + kWth
2 Objective of the market analysis
Main goals and tasks of the market analysis:
To assess the needs and preconditions for the establishment and dissemination of
green-blue enterprises and of the preparedness to develop this process in Bulgaria – at
least in one region and two sectors
Direct involvement of at least 70 SMEs/companies in the partner countries (7
companies for each of the 2 sectors focus groups
GBE FACTORY projections and market knowledge with special concern to HCIU
(heating and cooling intensive use SMEs)
Diffusion of projections and market analysis to key actors (300) of the Supply side
(Suppliers, developers, engineering organizations, etc.)
The market analysis will address sectors with intensive use of energy like:
industry: chemical industry, food, textile, metal processing, brick, ceramics, etc.
commerce: shopping malls, directional centers, spa, leisure and water parks, etc.
others: waste plant, green house, livestock, etc.
