👀This weekend, our pilot case Anci Lazio and partner Aisfor srl held a second workshop in Ventotene, Italy! The goal of this workshop was to define the Decision Support System. This system serves as a core element of our project’s Open Platform, using AI to answer users' specific questions across a range of topics relating to energy communities. ANCI Lazio reported some of the insights that participants gave during the meeting: 🌟 "The Decision Support System (DSS) is like a virtual friend; it accompanies the user to learn about the useful tools from the conception phase of a Renewable Community Energy up to its operation and development." 🌟 "COMANAGE is creating a useful tool that can function as a digital 'one-stop shop' with systematic responses to help RECs." 🌟 "The DSS directs to each of the 5 components of COMANAGE, the so-called Toolkit which covers the social, financial, communication and legislative areas; it is an important service to strengthen Energy Communities." 👏We want to thank everyone who took part and contributed to the results of the workshop! The next Ventotene meeting will take place between November and December. In the meantime, visit the COMANAGE website to learn more about what we’re developing, and subscribe to our newsletter to stay in the loop 👇 https://lnkd.in/eBva9iib #EnergyCommunity #Workshop #REPowerEU #AI #Ventotene

📢 “Road to Carbon Neutrality” - Join Vandana Jain, our Director of Emerging Markets Investments, and MANTON WAI (CFA, CFP®), our Head of Investment Solutions, both from EVIDENT, as they participate in a discussion on Twitter Spaces today with Algobharat. Anil Kakani Nikhil Varma, PhD AlgoBharat Ep24: Road to Carbon Neutrality Date: Today, Thursday 19th October, 2023 Time: 8:00 PM 🔗 Event Link: https://lnkd.in/ee6MfWuJ As of 2019, renewable technologies contributed approximately 11% to global primary energy, signaling a shift towards cleaner energy options. Projections indicate that renewable energy generation could rise by 30 to 76%, with 81-95% of new electric capacity in the upcoming years being zero-carbon. In 2022, the supply from solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, and ocean renewable energy increased by nearly 8%, elevating the global share of these technologies to 5.5%. Furthermore, the goal to achieve 100% clean electricity by 2035 can reduce energy-related emissions by 62% compared to 2005 levels, aligning with the objective of carbon neutrality by 2050. In 2023, McKinsey's Global Energy Perspective report revealed that renewable energy sources are anticipated to account for between 45 and 50 percent of global electricity generation by 2030. However, carbon dioxide emissions are projected to increase by approximately one percent, setting a new record in 2023. This data paints a picture of a world where the adoption of renewable energy is rising, but carbon emissions are also increasing. It underscores the urgent need for more robust global efforts to achieve carbon neutrality and address the impacts of climate change. The data highlights the challenges and progress in achieving carbon neutrality. Today's discussion with Vandana Jain and MANTON WAI (CFA, CFP®) will address more such data points and their implications. Join us to understand the current landscape and the steps ahead. 🔗 Link to know more: https://lnkd.in/eVD-Qy7u #EVIDENT #carbonneutrality #carboncredits #carbonoffsetting

Great 2 days in Madrid, it is amaizing to see how fast is our Project EDDIE data space quickly connecting Smart metering data hubs across a wide range of european countries, including consent based data connectors for Austria, France, Spain, Denmark as well as Finland.

FirstLight is so proud to be a finalist for the NECEC Partnership of the Year Award for our collaboration with Energy New England (ENE) to deliver clean energy to New England municipalities! The partnership began in 2020 with a power purchase agreement with ENE to deliver clean energy to 21 municipal utilities, which, at the time, represented the largest renewable energy purchase by municipal utilities in New England history. In 2022, we expanded our agreement, with 13 municipal utilities agreeing to purchase an additional 110+ gigawatt hours per year of clean energy produced by two of FirstLight’s hydroelectric facilities in Connecticut.

🌊 What an enlightening week at the #MIssionArenaBANOS1 ! I had the honor of moderating a pivotal session at the H2020United Project Final event where we delved into the Ocean Multi-Use Blueprints and their potential applications across various regions and sectors. A heartfelt thank you to all the panelists and speakers for their invaluable contributions. It was truly a pleasure to lead the discussion on the future of ocean multi-use projects and to explore the key enablers we still require. Our panel was a blend of diverse perspectives: - Bettina Käppeler from the Bundesamt für Seeschifffahrt und Hydrographie (Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency) provided an in-depth look into multi-use as a facet of national maritime spatial planning. - Andrea Fischel from Ørsted shared the offshore wind energy sector's experience in leading most multi-use sea discussions. - Emil Gejrot from Nordic Innovation offered perspectives on supporting Nordic businesses to actualize multi-use at sea in the region. - Simon Johansson from Nordic SeaFarm, who enriched our understanding of the seaweed farming business opportunities in the multi-use context. - Anne Gunnäs of Lysekils kommun, who brought insights on how to plan for multi-use implementation at the local government level. Special mention to Alexander Ziemba from Deltares, who introduced the upcoming call for associated regions, offering a notable 5x100k EUR for transferring multi-use best practices, technology, and community of practice knowledge to other areas. Make sure you sign up here to receive the news once the call is published: https://lnkd.in/euYv8zG7 This event was a confluence of ideas and action planning, setting a benchmark for future collaborations in the field of ocean multi-use. #H2020UNITED #OceanSustainability #MultiUse #MaritimeInnovation
