During the 12th edition of the Food Safety Congress in Warsaw, the team from the Future Solutions Research and Development Center represented the ECM decentralized energy ecosystem, together with our partner Independent Energy.

This year’s Congress clearly highlighted that the food industry — like most sectors of the economy — is struggling with rising energy costs and the need to define a real pathway toward sustainable development and ESG reporting. In this context, local energy clusters are emerging as a key instrument, enabling enterprises to produce, balance, and consume energy within a shared economic community.

Future Solutions and ECM presented a model in which energy clusters become the foundation of a modern energy policy for food production facilities. The ECM system integrates distributed renewable energy sources, local balancing, and digital DLT-based settlements, allowing companies to reduce costs, increase energy independence, and transparently report ESG performance.

The participation of Future Solutions in the Congress confirmed that food security begins with energy security, and that ECM energy clusters provide a practical framework for achieving it. In such solutions lies the future of a sustainable agri-food sector — modern, local, and energy self-sufficient.
