Nikos Koufokotsios

I design and deliver sustainability projects that get funded and get finished. My focus is carbon neutrality, energy efficiency, and circular economy—turning decarbonization roadmaps into financed, executable programs.

Over the last years I’ve shifted from the brewing domain into EU funding and execution. I scope opportunities, build consortia, structure proposals, and run projects across work packages—aligning industry partners, auditors, and public bodies. Frameworks I work with: Horizon Europe, Innovation Fund, LIFE, ESPA/NSRF, EU ETS, CSRD, EU Taxonomy, ISO 50001/14064, GHG Protocol, SBTi.

What I bring:
• Funding acquisition & delivery: pipeline building, proposal development, budgets, risk, and compliance (CFS, GA/DoA, WP reporting).
• Decarbonization: Scope 1–3 programs, renewable/low-carbon heat, waste-heat recovery, energy efficiency, circularity.
• Stakeholder alignment: multi-country teams, OEMs, ministries, auditors, universities—clear governance and cadence.
• Outcomes: funded projects, executed WPs, verified savings, and reporting that stands up to audits.
• Align sustainability targets with CSRD/ESRS and EU Taxonomy; build auditable data flows and KPIs
• De-risk projects under Greek environmental law (licensing, compliance, inspections)

Focus areas: decarbonization (thermal electrification/HP/solar), process efficiency (water/energy), digital twins, robotics/automation, EPD/LCA.
