🌍 #Heatingcommunities are a powerful way to empower citizens in decarbonising the EU's heating sector, which accounts for 50% of total energy consumption. 🧐 But what exactly do we mean by heating communities? #HeatingCommunities, also known as #ThermalEnergyCommunities, can take various forms, including: 🤝 Shared ownership such as cooperatives 💸 Direct financial participation such as crowdfunding ✍ Presence of #heatprosumers and other forms of consumer involvement These communities foster public engagement and ownership in the energy transition, accelerating the adoption of sustainable #heating technologies and practices. 💚 By involving citizens directly, we can drive meaningful progress towards a greener future. 🗞 Subscribe now to our newsletter and stay tuned for our exciting results and activities: https://lnkd.in/g9Xm5W_a #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy #CommunityPower #EnergyTransition #Decarbonization #CleanEnergy Ambiente Italia S.r.l., North West Croatia Regional Energy and Climate Agency (REGEA), Steinbeis Innovation & Management GmbH, Euroheat & Power, APE FVG, Energy Agency of Plovdiv, Leiedal, Instituto Tecnológico de Canarias, OesteSustentável - Agência Regional de Energia e Ambiente do Oeste - Regional Energy and Env.

🔆 Fuente Álamo towards a greener #electric future ⚡ Fuente Álamo has become an example of #sustainability through projects such as the one led by the company Comunidad Solar, which has two photovoltaic parks in Fuente Álamo. This service allows a self-consumption modality, which goes beyond the #energycommunity and allows families who live in flats and cannot install panels to benefit from #photovoltaic electricity. Even if they live hundreds of miles away from the plant where it is generated. Fuente Álamo is one of the municipalities involved in the NEVERMORE project, aimed at supporting excellence in #climate research and overcoming the current silo approach when assessing the impacts and risks of #climatechange across sectors and #adaptation and #mitigation policies and measures. 👉 To read more on Fuente Álamo: https://lnkd.in/gyjkg2yq 👀 To discover NEVERMORE project: HOME - www.nevermore-horizon.eu 👍 Remember to follow us and 📩 subscribe to our Newsletter: Newsletter - www.nevermore-horizon.eu Fondazione Bruno Kessler - FBK | CMCC Foundation - Centro Euro Mediterraneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici | alda* - European Association for Local Democracy | Energikontor Norr | Instituto de Fomento de la Región de Murcia | NCSR "DEMOKRITOS" | Provincia Autonoma di Trento | RINA | SIMAVI Software Imagination & Vision

The Viking Link is a symbol of international cooperation and sustainable innovation. Connecting the UK and Denmark over 475 miles (765 kilometers), this interconnector handles a peak load of 1,400 megawatts, allowing both countries to share surplus energy efficiently. This project shows the importance of collaborative efforts in addressing global energy challenges. Managing the exchange of renewable energy helps reduce carbon footprints and promote environmental stewardship. It proves that the future of energy lies in interconnected, sustainable systems. Enhancing the strength of power grids sets a standard for future international collaborations aimed at achieving a greener, more sustainable world.

🌍 Last week, we submitted our proposal for the LIFE programme, titled "LIFE4LPAs." The LIFE4LPAs initiative is geared towards shaping supportive policies and regulatory frameworks at the municipal and national levels, specifically focusing on the development of comprehensive energy transition plans.🌱 The transition to sustainable energy not only contributes to environmental well-being but also stimulates economic growth, creating job opportunities in the renewable energy sector. Improved air quality and a healthier environment are just some of the many social benefits. Our project emphasizes collaboration with local governments and communities to garner support and participation. We believe in the power of a community-driven approach to make a substantial impact. 💪 The consortium, consisting of 9 partners from 🇹🇩 🇹🇷 🇪🇸 🇮🇹 🇱🇹 🇩🇪, is ready to take on this transformative journey. We are honoured to coordinate the Work Package of Communications, Dissemination, and Exploitation. A special shoutout to the Municipality of Mislata for taking the lead as the coordinator of this impactful initiative. 🙌 With a budget of 1.58 million EUR, we are geared up to institutionalize, cross-sectoralize, and tailor our strategies to meet the unique contexts of the local public authorities involved. Stay tuned for more updates as we work towards a sustainable and resilient future! 🌟 #eebg #euroconsults #eufunds #LIFE4LPAs #Sustainability #EnergyTransition #ClimateAction

"Climate Additionality" is not a static concept. Over a decade ago, Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) were often critical to a project's success. In most US markets, that is no longer the case. Where emissions reductions, cleaner energy or RECs are underpinned by actions that truly make new projects happen (such as, acquiring renewable energy tax credits), then climate additionality should be recognized by the many well-intentioned bodies that set the standards for clean energy procurement required to earn their stamp of approval. Those standards are increasingly obsolete and in need of a refresh to reflect the new options and technologies available to us. Tax credits, Battery Energy Storage Projects ("BESS") and generally, any marginal emissions reductions that would otherwise not have occurred save for a given corporate action or investment, all deserve recognition for their true impact, and not simply purchasing RECs. We believe bold moves by major US corporations that lead and shape dialogue on this key matter will be a faster and more effective catalyst for improving sustainability than trying to change obsolete definitions of additionality and green energy. Acquiring transferrable investment tax credits across a broader base of technologies is an excellent example. This has been greatly simplified by the IRA, drives true additionality and in many cases, can turn corporate sustainability into a profit center rather than a cost center. That's a true win-win for CSOs and CFOs in one step. #RE100 #NetZero #CEBA

📍 On the 9th and 10th of April, CluBE-Cluster of Bioeconomy and Environment of Western Macedonia, participated in the #BridgeEU online General Assembly represented by Vasileios Balachtsis, Deputy Head of Sustainable and Intelligent Transition Department and Stavros Spyridakos, Junior Project Manager at Energy and Climate Action Department. They had the opportunity to discuss the results achieved by the RESONANCE Project, i-STENTORE and HEDGE-IoT projects within the initiative. They also familiarized with other projects that are included in #BridgeEU. . 💡 #BridgeEU is a European Commission initiative that brings together projects from Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe focused on Smart Grid, Energy Storage, Islands, and Digitalisation. It aims to provide a structured perspective on challenges encountered in these demonstration projects that could hinder innovation.  🔎 CluBE is working on these topics with more than 30 EU projects and is aligned with the initiative's goals. We will continue working hard for the European Smart #EnergyTransition and we are more than happy for future collaborations. 👉 CINEA - European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency #demandresponse #smartgrids #energystorage #digitalization #decarbonization #climateneutrality #consumers #prosumers
