High dependency on fossil fuels, disrupted supply chains, and increasing pressure to decarbonize the economy – Europe faces unprecedented challenges to its energy security and independence: a transformation of the energy system is crucial. As highlighted in the EU strategy for energy system integration, we need to turn today’s inefficient flows of energy around and enable the system-wide...

High-performance batteries are key for sustainable mobility, smart energy systems and Europe’s climate neutrality. Additionally, they are one of the most complex elements in the system with tremendous environmental impact. The European Union acts on this dichotomy with the upcoming Battery Directive as part of the Circular Economy Action Plan. Fraunhofer supports this endeavor: we deploy key enabling technologies for small-scale portable applications,...

EA SHC Solar Academy Webinar on Solar Heating and Cooling Markets and Industry Trends This webinar will highlight the global solar thermal market development as well as industry and business trends in 2021. A special focus will be placed on countries that again recorded very good growth rates, but also on large-scale systems in the...

As part of the EUREC networking activities, EUREC will organised an expert workshop on “Sustainability and circularity in renewable energy technology” on the 9th of June. It is not enough to generate zero-carbon cost-effectively. In a finite world, renewable energy technologies must also be made from safe and recoverable materials and where possible offer environmental co-benefits...

The H2020 project SET4BIO, which provides support for the implementation of relevant projects in the area of bioenergy and biofuels, is organizing a workshop in Brussels on 27th June in order to discuss industry priorities and their funding. A first session to learn about relevant funding instruments with experts from the EU Institutions A second...

Shallow geothermal energy represents a well-developed, non-volatile and clean technology for providing efficient heating and cooling across Europe. It is often associated with the use of ground source heat pumps, but offers a wide range of applications such as geo-cooling or seasonal heat storage. Still, it is widely considered as a niche technology, however it...

In the context of the current energy crisis and EU’s climate goals, accelerating the development and deployment of renewables becomes crucial. Heat represents half of the energy consumed in Europe and its decarbonisation with renewable heat solutions contributes not only to emissions reduction, but also to energy security. As such, Solar Heat Europe in collaboration with...

Bringing together policy experts, industrial and academic actors from Croatia, the session will provide key insight into the answers for the current challenges in heating and cooling. The share of renewable energy used for heating and cooling in Croatia currently stands at 35%. There have been early success stories, from successful policy initiatives to cities...

At the Intersolar Europe Conference, you will learn everything about markets, technologies and financing of PV projects. In addition to the market development in Europe, each year the focus is on individual markets. Another focus is on large-scale PV power plants, especially with regard to Agri-PV and Floating PV.   Programme and registration here

Join the conference “Green Hydrogen for a Sustainable European Future” for an interactive forum on 16 and 17 May where scientific experts, industry leaders and policymaking and civil society representatives from across Europe will converge to discuss the outcomes of the agenda process and the next collaborative steps to build strategic energy transformation partnerships. Programme...

The workshop will cover the latest developments in the field of back contact (BC) solar cells and modules. Challenges on the way to the industrialisation of the BC approach and examples for a successful transfer to mass production will be in the focus of the workshop. Moreover, innovative solutions for integrated PV products based on...

The International Energy Agency Technical Collaboration Program on Energy Conservation through Energy Storage has started the definition phase for a new Task on Storage for renewables and flexibility through standardized use of building mass. The proposed task sets the goal to analyse and improve the technical and non-technical aspects of thermal activated building mass as...

  European Commission online event “Towards an EU solar energy strategy” In the context of the preparation of a Communication on an EU solar strategy and the ongoing Open Public Consultation (until 12 April), this high-level event aims to provide a forum for an exchange of views between the main relevant stakeholders.
