On 30 September 2020, the SMARTSPEND project will hold its Online Workshop “Financing Clean Energy Transition in the Context of EU Recovery”.

HYDROPOWER EUROPE (HPE) is a Horizon 2020 project that aims to achieve a Research & Innovation Agenda (RIA) and Strategic Industry Roadmap (SIR)for the  hydropower sector. For the last two years, the team worked on a continuous consultation process through online consultations as well as regional and technical workshops. As a result, they have gathered feedback from diverse stakeholders, including expert groups, industry actor sand other interested parties.

The 2020 edition of the 100% Renewable Heating and Cooling for a Sustainable Future, 100% RHC Event, will take place online on the 15th October 2020, from 2 pm to 4.30 pm (CET). Our annual conference is an independent event. Free registration is open until 30 September 2020 via this form.

Renewable energy technologies for heating and cooling are safe, clean, efficient and increasingly cost-competitive. In its vision 2050 prospective document, the European Technology and Innovation Platform on Renewable Heating and Cooling – RHC ETIP – envisions that 100% renewable energy-based heating and cooling (100% RHC) in Europe is possible by 2050. In the framework of Sustainable Places 2020, 16 projects from the RHC field are preparing this workshop on RHC Solutions for buildings and industry. The workshop will include: The presentation of the latest…

RHC ETIP invites you to participate at its national roundtable discussion on the current status of the Finnish renewable heating and cooling sector. The aim is to exchange views with the Finnish representatives of the renewable heating and cooling industry, local governments and academia in order to

ETIP PV’s forecast based on conversion efficiency improvements and Solar PV’s declining cost is that solar PV will supply 70% of the world’s electricity generation.

The SEC is delighted to bring you the Sustainable Energy Europe Summit taking place Virtually on 18-20 November 2020, held with the support of the Ministry of Environment and Climate Action, Portugal. In the decade of decarbonisation, as European countries rush to use the first third of the decade to set in motion a series of technologies, trade deals and policies to reach 2030 Climate Goals, we gather in Lisbon to contemplate what remains to be done as 2020 comes to a close. Are we utilising our renewable energy assets…

“Hydrogen can be used as a feedstock, a fuel or an energy carrier and storage, and has many possible applications across industry, transport, power and buildings sectors. Most importantly, it does not emit CO2 and does not pollute the air when used. It is therefore an important part of the solution to meet the 2050 climate neutrality goal of the European Green Deal” — European Commission’s Hydrogen Strategy for a climate neutral Europe The EUREC (Association of European Renewable Energy…

The carbon tax is a simple and effective tool for decarbonisation. Higher share of renewables often goes hand in hand with carbon taxation. Such is the case in Nordic countries for more than a couple of decades. Germany looks towards newly introduced carbon tax to fix the lower share of renewables in the heating and transport sectors. This webinar, organised by the Czech Biomass Association in cooperation with Bioenergy Europe, is focused on carbon tax as a tool to decarbonize…

Lessons learned and the Swedish experience! Europe aims for 100 percent renewable heating and cooling. Sweden is almost already there. Only fossil fuels in waste and minor volumes of peak oil remain to replace. But even for these peak load boilers  there are often investment plans in place  to switch fuels. How did we manage to become fossil free in the cold Nordic Scandinavia? Which were the main reasons and decisions that made it happen? The main shift has been to more bioenergy and to heat pumps. Why? Is there enough electricity and can…

The PV Impact project invites you to participate in our next matchmaking event dedicated to Building Integrated PV (BIPV). This event will give you an exclusive opportunity to meet other experts and stakeholders, interact, exchange innovative project ideas and find the best partners to work with in the field of BIPV. BIPV has a huge role to play in construction by its potential to make the built environment an aesthetical and land-efficient decentralized renewable energy producer. However, the market uptake…

The ERIGrid 2.0 project provides engineers in power system testing, smart grids and energy systems free funding to access the best laboratories of Europe and perform their experimental research. Access to physical labs can be on-site or remote, depending on the conditions of specific…

With the Green Deal, Europe embarks on the journey to become the first climate-neutral continent. More than ever, photovoltaics (PV) offer great opportunities to accomplish this goal but their full potential of today remains untapped. The time has come for a Photovoltaics Renaissance: Europe is world leading in PV R&D, the cost of solar electricity has decreased significantly, and the number of installations is expected to increase sharply in the coming years. The market conditions offer great opportunities. However, there…

CryoHub the EU funded project to demonstrate the potential for cryogenic energy storage at refrigerated warehouses will hold a webinar to share findings and results of this work.

An effective, efficient and supportive State Aid regime is essential to accelerating the energy transition and the fight against climate change. To be effective, the revised Energy and Environmental State Aid framework must eliminate barriers to investment in critical renewable energy solutions, remove direct and indirect subsidies for fossil fuels and reduce the risk of innovative clean technologies. The opportunities and challenges for the new framework is debated in this seminar. The event is co-organised by EGEC Geothermal, Ocean Energy Europe,…
