Advanced policies and market support measures for mobilizing solar district heating investments in European target regions and countries (SDHp2m)
Start date: Jan 1, 2016, End date: Dec 31, 2018,
SDHp2m stands for ‘Solar District Heating (SDH)’ and actions from ‘Policy to Market’. The project addresses market uptake challenges for a wider use of district heating and cooling systems (DHC) with high shares of RES, specifically the action focuses on the use of large-scale solar thermal plants combined with other RES in DHC systems.The key approach of the project is to develop, improve and imp ...

BiogasAction: Promotion of sustainable biogas production in EU (BiogasAction)
Start date: Jan 1, 2016, End date: Dec 31, 2018,
BiogasAction aim to serve as vehicle for the development of the European biogas sector and thereby contribute to the EU 2020 targets by focusing on removing non-technical barriers to widespread production of biogas/biomethane from manure and other waste. Central driver is the cooperation between different policy levels at EU, national and regional level. The project will boost biogas development i ...

ling Energy ACtion plans and Enhancing their implementation in the Alps (PEACE_Alps)
Start date: Dec 16, 2015, End date: Dec 15, 2018,
Description (EN): PEACE-ALPS tackles the problems related to the implementation of Sustainable Energy Action Plans (SEAPs) or any other Energy concepts already endorsed by Local Authorities (LAs) in Alpine Space Area (ASA) by supporting LAs, about 100, in developing concrete actions with an inter-municipal approach. This is the core aim of the project and the way for reaching main o ...

Transnational Holistic Ecosystem 4 Better Energy Efficiency through Social innovation (THE4BEES)
Start date: Dec 16, 2015, End date: Dec 15, 2018,
Description (EN): THE4BEES builds on the hypothesis: Energy is consumed by people rather than by buildings. Although most of the strategies to achieve energy efficiency in buildings focus on technical mitigation measures, to reach the ambitious goals on Low Carbon set by EU and Alpine Strategy, both structural and soft approaches shall be considered in a complementary way across the ...

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 ...

TOWARD CARBON NEUTRAL ALPS - MAKE BEST PRACTICE MINIMUM STANDARD (ALPSTAR)
Start date: Jun 30, 2011, End date: Mar 30, 2014,
The project addresses the need expressed by international community for transnational, well-directed and cross-cutting action to effectively manage climate change in the Alps. It aims to encourage preparation and implementation of cross-sectoral strategies and action plans and of proven good practice measures toward carbon neutrality on regional and local level. It contributes to the implementatio ...

Regions for Climate Protection: toward Governance, from Knowledge to Action (CLIMACTREGIONS)
Start date: Dec 31, 2009, End date: Dec 30, 2012,
In the global context of fighting against climate change, the European Union has committed itself to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by at least 20% by 2020. The main decisions are taken at the European and national levels but the results have to be achieved in the field. The regional and local levels have therefore a crucial role to play. The starting point of the project is a study on greenh ...

ENERSCAPES - Territory, landscape and renewable energies (enerscapes)
Start date: May 31, 2010, End date: Nov 29, 2012,
The growing use of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) is leading to a new awareness about their compatibility with landscape and heritage preservation policies. This project wants to investigate and evaluate the impacts that a non-regulated diffusion of RES could cause on Mediterranean territories and landscapes. By connecting energy and territorial planning, partners will identify suitable strategi ...

Demonstration of 2nd Generation Vegetable Oil Fuels in Advanced Engines (2NDVEGOIL)
Start date: Aug 1, 2008, End date: Dec 31, 2011,
Pure vegetable oil use as engine fuel has the potential for the most comprehensive ecologic, economic and social benefits of all biofuels. The production involves few process steps and can be done economically with small production units. The production process has only small energy losses and provides potential for additional income generation on farms, thereby strengthening rural economic struct ...

The project addresses the design of energy policies/strategies in the Med for cost-optimized utilization of RES and it involves optimizing smart energy management schemes, in particular net metering, to provide an economically sustainable alternative to government FIT subsidies. With the highest solar resource in Europe, the region is one of the first to see PV electricity reach grid parity. In li ...
