📢🎈We are excited to kick-off DecarbonDHS project's Linkedin profile with a throwback note on the project's official Kick-off Meeting, which took place on September 11-12, 2024 in the Institute of Fluid-Flow Machinery, Polish Academy of Sciences (IMP PAN) office, in Gdańsk, Poland. 🟢 DecarbonDHS project ("Decarbonization of district heating systems") aims to promote the #decarbonization of #districtheating systems and facilitate the transition towards sustainable and low-carbon solutions, by integrating #renewableenergysources, #energyefficiency, utilizing #wasteheat from industry and incorporating #energystorage technologies. 🟢The project budget is €1,8 million and is co-financed from the Interreg South Baltic Programme 2021-2027 through the European Regional Development Fund. Project was launched in July 2024 and will be realised until June 2027. Thank you all the partners for participation in this very first one onsite meeting and fruitful discussions! We are looking forward to our cooperation under #DecarbonDHS project! 🤝DecarbonDHS project's consortium: Institute of Fluid-Flow Machinery, Polish Academy of Sciences (IMP PAN) of Sciences - Lead Partner, OPEC Heat Distribution Company, IWEN Energy Institute gGmbH, Lithuanian Energy Institute, Bornholms Energi & Forsyning, Kretinga District Heating Company, Kretinga District Municipality Administration, Linnaeus University 👉 Associated Partners: Energikontor Syd, Stowarzyszenie Gmin RP Euroregion Bałtyk, Lessebo District Heating Company, Stadtwerke Rostock AG #DecarbonDHS #SouthBaltic #Interreg #EU #EuropeanCommission #SailingTogether #greenenergytransition #decarbonization #districtheating #renewables #sustainable

📎 New paper out! "Improving the Energy Performance of Public Buildings in the Mediterranean Climate via a Decision Support Tool" has been published in MDPI Energies as part of the Special Issue "Smart Cities and Positive Energy Districts: Urban Perspectives in 2022–2023. 👀 This work focuses on advancing insights into the application of the PrioritEE PLUS Project Decision Support Tool in Portuguese public buildings 🏫, highlighting the energy and financial savings and carbon dioxide emission reduction potential. ➡ Using detailed building characterisation data from energy performance certificates, we applied the tool across 22 public buildings of diverse typologies in three distinct regions of Portugal, representing various public entities. ➡ Results demonstrate the tool’s adaptability, enabling a comprehensive assessment of energy performance and facilitating the exploration of customised energy efficiency and renewable energy solutions. ➡The research emphasises the critical role of user-friendly tools in aiding policymakers and local administration technicians in meeting national renovation targets and contributing to the broader energy transition objectives. with Laura Aelenei Daniel Aelenei Raquel Ourives Salomé Bessa Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia da Universidade NOVA de Lisboa Universidade Nova de Lisboa LNEG CENSE - Center for Environmental and Sustainability Research AREANATejo Agência de Energia Município de Arruda dos Vinhos https://lnkd.in/dWRjjgN4

Last week, we defended our project thesis orally👨🏫 Estonia is a country, relying heavily on fossil fuels, such as oil shale. The research question in the thesis was "How can Estonia transition its electricity system to achieve the 2030 Estonian renewable energy goal, while ensuring energy security?" 🌍 We investigated the political and institutional structure of the electricity sector, where the relevant actors and change agents in Estonia were found. This was followed by a technical analysis, where 4 different environmentally friendly scenarios were developed, offering a solution to the current fossil fuel-dominated market. At last, a discussion was carried out, discussing the problems with implementing renewable energy sources. This resulted in 11 different recommendations Estonia could implement, to reach their 2030 goal. I would like to thank my project group, Thomas Christian Kold Kjær, Rikke Hoffmann, Daniel Degn Schubert and Jens Mikkelsen, for the great collaboration! Also an extended thanks to our supervisors Frede Hvelplund and Rasmus Magni Johannsen for their guidance and contributions in shaping the project by providing constructive criticism and valuable insights throughout the development of the project! It has been an interesting journey, where we have learned a lot about policies and energy systems, in the context of Estonia!

After 18 months of meticulous planning and research, Ilmatar, a leading #Nordic energy company, has finalized and submitted the application for what is set to be Sweden’s largest #solarcell park to the County Administrative Board in Östergötland. Spanning an impressive 550 hectares in Olivehult, #Motala municipality, this groundbreaking project aims to revolutionize #solarenergy production by integrating it with sustainable sheep grazing practices in collaboration with Wästanå Gård farm. Ilmatar's ambitious solar park in Olivehult is poised to become one of #Europe’s largest, surpassing existing parks in #Sweden by over four times in size. With an estimated annual generation of 500 GWh, equivalent to powering 24,000 average single-family homes, this initiative promises to significantly enhance the electricity grid in the SE3 region. #RenewableEnergy #SolarPower #Sustainability #EnergyInnovation #Sweden #GreenTechnology #EnvironmentalConservation #CleanEnergy #Europe Read more: https://lnkd.in/dzqEuJYn

Introducing REEFLEX Demo Sites: Zaragoza and Asturias, Spain 🇪🇸 Exciting news from the heart of Spain! One of the Spanish demonstrator for the groundbreaking REEFLEX project is set in Zaragoza and its picturesque surroundings in the Aragon region, located in the North-East of Spain. 🌱 Aragon, with its vibrant capital and a myriad of industrial and service companies, serves as a hub for significant energy consumption and locates three of the Spanish cases: CIRCE - Centro Tecnológico, URBENER and Zaragoza Vivienda. Meanwhile, the rest of the region boasts a dispersed rural population and numerous renewable generation plants. To harness the power of these renewable sources, we propose an innovative approach: incorporating all types of energy consumers and prosumers into flexible markets.💡 Asturias, bordered by the Cantabrian Sea to the north, and situated in a mountainous region, hosts one of the major metallurgic industries within Europe and an additional demo for the Spanish case. Within all the plant facilities, #ARCELOR provides the project with a pumping installation with all the associated components and consumption, where the NILM will be tested and serves a representation of the other side of Spanish consumers: big industrial energy demanders. 🔄 The Spanish demo-site is a diverse blend of residential, office, and industrial buildings, representing the varied consumer landscape in the area. 🏡🏢🏭 With a total of four areas featuring a mix of residential and non-residential structures, REEFLEX aims to unlock the full potential of flexibility at different levels. ⚡ Curious?
