Improving eco-efficiency of bio-energy production and supply in riparian areas of the Danube river basin and other floodplains in Central Europe - DANUBENERGY. (DANUBENERGY)
Start date: Jul 31, 2012, End date: Dec 30, 2014,
Conventional production of biomass for biogas plants is often eco-inefficient due to the dominant use of maize and the increased risk of soil erosion and nutrient losses, as well as the low use of thermal energy during the generation of electricity in the combined heat and power plant. Furthermore, competition with food production on fertile land and the resulting increase of prices for land and a ...

Introduction of Regional Energy Concepts (CEP-REC)
Start date: Sep 30, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2014,
The classic central energy systems based on fossil fuels and nuclear power have a central supply distributing the energy to the consumers. Contrary to this, renewable energies and energy efficiency need the action of many persons, citizens, municipalities and enterprises in order to succeed. In addition the acceptance of the population plays important role in the change towards renewable energies. ...

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 ...

CENTURIO – Exchanging experiences, fostering interregional co-operation and strenghtening Regions’ self-development. (CENTURIO)
Start date: Aug 31, 2004, End date: Apr 29, 2007,
The CENTURIO programme, created by the Assembly of European Regions (AER) in 1994, has been successfully promoting dialogue and exchange of experience between European regions for several years. However, the enlargement of the EU in May 2004 served to illustrate that the European and global context for the regions is changing. Their growth and competitiveness depend on their capacity to develop in ...
