Mapping the Value Chain

EE4HORECA focuses on understanding how energy is used across the HORECA value chain and where collaboration can unlock efficiency gains.
Through an in-depth mapping of the sector, the project identifies the key actors involved in hospitality services and the interactions between them, highlighting where energy consumption and environmental impacts are highest.

Building on this mapping, the project identifies and selects transferable best practices for energy efficiency at European level, showcasing solutions that can be adopted by both large companies and SMEs. These practices address not only technical measures, but also organisational and collaborative approaches that help reduce energy use more effectively.

Read more about these outputs through the following:

  1. Map of the HORECA value chains. The report is based on an analysis of energy practices within both large companies and SMEs. It presents a conceptual map of the sector from an energy perspective, aiming to identify best transferable practices that can reduce the overall energy impact.
  2. Map of the energetic value chain. The project identifies both direct and indirect energy consumption within the sector, highlighting the points where interventions can have the greatest impact.
  3. Selection of best Energy Efficiency practices. Identification and selection of best practices through the active engagement of stakeholders within the HORECA sector. The collected material also serves as the basis for training activities.
  4. Recommendation on best practices transferable across the HORECA value chain. The report brings a selection of best practices compiled into structured training material aimed at building capacity and promoting energy efficiency across the sector.
