Renewat Project

🌿 Last September in Ukraine was hosted the "10th International Conference of Hydropower Engineers", where hydropower experts and stakeholders gathered to discuss the advancements in sustainable water management and renewable energy strategies. 🌿 📓 Our Ukrainian partner reviewed the conference materials and documentation to identify key stakeholders and gather insights relevant to the #RENEWAT project. Among the key takeaways were: 👉 The development of tailored water management and hydropower strategies based on the unique ecological needs of each river basin. 👉 The study of financial instruments and funding opportunities to support innovative hydropower technologies. 👉 The need to increase public awareness of the latest advancements in hydropower and its potential for sustainable development. 🌟 This valuable information strengthens the efforts with the #RENEWAT project in the Lviv region. The next step is now to discuss potential collaborations and set long-term goals for the project! 🌐 Find more about the conference here: https://lnkd.in/dit3tDrb #renewat #InterregEurope #watermills #renewableenergies #hydropower #Cooperation

🎬 We are happy to announce that the #RENEWAT inception video is out! 🎬 Get inspired by the mission of our project through this video, showcasing the key actions and objectives that will drive us forward. Every partner country played an important role in bringing this to life, and we are proud of our collaboration! 👉 Watch the video here: https://lnkd.in/dsTmp-ZU #renewat #InterregEurope #watermills #renewableenergies #hydropower #Cooperation

The #RENEWAT second semester has started already! 👉 In the second learning phase our project partners will focus on the scientific background and legal frameworks in RENEWAT countries. Stay tuned for all the future outcomes and learnings! #renewat #GreenEurope #watermills #InterregEurope #Eu #renewableenergies #hydropower

Our Ukrainian partner attended the Smart City exhibition in the Czech Republic https://lnkd.in/eC9Bg3C2 - Learning about the use of GIS technologies to monitor climate change, including the utilization of river potential, the need for river revitalization and the use of renewable energy sources to achieve sustainable development goals and energy independence - supporting their goals of repowering historical watermills and using them as sources of renewable energy to help local communities achieve energy sustainability.

While it may be in French, its interesting for our European partners to see some of the historic hydropower installations from France. https://lnkd.in/gtvQJw34

An example from France, not within the department of the Haute-Vienne but an interesting read...

#RENEWAT Policy Instruments - CROATIA 🌿 The Municipality of Martijanec aims to revitalize a historic watermill in Hrastovljan, transforming it into a renewable energy source. This project supports the goals outlined in the Municipality’s Development Strategy and will serve as a model for similar renewable energy initiatives. 🎯 The Municipality’s Development Strategy emphasises the importance of renewable energy, but lacks a focus on repurposing existing infrastructure for modern energy solutions. Martijanec Municipality will bring together experts and representatives to discuss the potential of watermills, and will collaborate with regional authorities to integrate this initiative into local and regional energy strategies. 👉 Discover more on the infographic below and on our project website: https://lnkd.in/dsPHZbS6 #renewat #greenereurope #watermills #InterregEurope #renewableenergies #policyinstruments

#RENEWAT Policy Instruments - UKRAINE 🌿 Lviv Council aims to enhance the effectiveness of measures towards achieving climate neutrality, which have been identified as a priority in the "Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plan of the Lviv Urban Territorial Community" 🎯 They will involve experts to explore the presence of water mills within their area, and discuss opportunities for their renovation and use for green energy production. 👉 Discover more on the infographic below and on our project website: https://lnkd.in/dsPHZbS6 #renewat #greenereurope #watermills #InterregEurope #renewableenergies #policyinstruments

The Federation des Moulins de France, was present at a regional 'Festival of Water' (FEST'EAU) in Bergerac in Dordogne (Région Nouvelle Aquitaine .France) This event on the theme of water was an opportunity for the FDMF and AMNA to meet the "general public" and to discuss the heritage of watermills and their conservation. What is RENEWAT? Why this inter-regional project within Europe? were some of the questions within our passionate dialogue with the public. The possibility of producing "clean" and carbon-free energy by watermills (small or large) was also discussed and we noted a general lack of knowledge around the issues concerning the future of the watermills.
