Small scale thermal solar district units for Mediterranean communities (STS-Med)

Start date: Nov 16, 2012, End date: Dec 30, 2015,

The project in brief In the Mediterranean area, a large share of energy is consumed by households and in buildings. In addition to the dependence on fossil fuel, oil and natural gas, the primary energy demand is growing at a regular pace. Increasing the share of solar energy sources in the overall energy mix is a crucial goal for the Mediterranean area, as the exploitation of a sustainable renewab ...

Supporting local authorities in the implementation of Sustainable Energy Action Plans in the Alpine Space Area (SEAPAlps)

Start date: Sep 30, 2012, End date: May 30, 2015,

The main objective of the project is to promote energy planning at local level by sharing a common methodology among participating Partners (PP). This is essential to tackle Climate Change (CC), as energy use is mainly responsible for it. Local Authorities (LA) have a key role in this mitigation process, but as generally acquired, mitigation is not sufficient since CC is already taking place. The ...

SHARE - Sustainable Hydropower in Alpine Rivers Ecosystems (SHARE)

Start date: Jul 31, 2009, End date: Jul 30, 2012,

Hydropower is the most important renewable resource for electricity production in alpine areas: it has advantages for the global CO2 balance but creates serious environmental impacts. RES-e Directives require a renewable electricity enhance but, at the same time, the Water Framework Directive obliges member States to reach or maintain a water bodies "good" ecological status, intrinsically limiting ...

New Bioenergy Business During Emission Trading (ET-BIOENERGY)

Start date: Jan 6, 2005, End date: Jan 5, 2007,

The biomass resources are significant in the Baltic Sea Region. However, the utilisation rate as well as the price level differs a lot from country to country. Most of biomass based fuels are utilised locally within short transportation distances. There has already been some international wood fuel trade, mainly in refined form (e.g. wood pellets), but also as wood fuels like logs and chips. The m ...
