How can AI and big data help reduce energy consumption, cut emissions, and build more sustainable industries and communities?

 

COSMIC is a European project bringing together industry leaders, technology providers, and innovators to develop and scale AI-driven solutions that support the EU Green Deal. With 15 pilots across Europe, COSMIC demonstrates how advanced technologies can optimise energy use, improve resource efficiency, and accelerate the green transition.

WHAT WILL COSMIC ACHIEVE?

15 pilots testing AI & data-driven solutions across multiple industries
 

10-20% reduction in energy consumption in buildings, industry, and transport

Up to 27 AI-powered solutions tested in real-world settings and can be scaled

Increased renewable energy use, making communities more energy-resilient

WHERE WILL COSMIC MAKE AN IMPACT?

 

COSMIC is tackling key challenges in energy, industry, transport, and resource management through eight innovation areas, each driving AI-powered sustainability solutions.

Each pilot is designed around one of these areas, applying and testing data-driven innovations in real-world settings. See COSMIC in action across Europe.

Flood risk mapping for fair insurance Fighting energy poverty in social housing Sizing an energy-storage system for on- shore power supply Energy sustainability indicators basedon waste separation Leak detection inbiomass district heating Energy optimisation anddecarbonisation of wastewatertreatment plants Urban cooling system using rainwater Sustainable management of a renewable energy community Predictive maintenance of PV plants Sustainableresidential buildings Tertiary-use buildings (schools) Industrial energy communities Efficient usage of heat pumps Renewable energy community Private housing in multi-family buildings

THE COSMIC PROCESS

Selecting innovations through Open Calls

We fund innovative AI & data-driven solutions from startups and SMEs and apply them to sustainability projects across different industries.

Testing and integration in pilots

Selected innovations are deployed alongside existing core technologies in our 15 pilots, optimising energy and resource efficiency in real-world conditions.

Scaling up for long-term impact

We ensure solutions are scalable and replicable, sharing results with industries, policymakers, and communities to drive widespread adoption.
