This webinar introduced the secretariat's financing corner for islands when it was first launched, taking a deep-dive into the subjects of sustainable business plans and public / private financing.
One of the key challenges for many islands in the early stages of their energy transition is to gather the relevant information about the current status on the island - identifying the main sources of CO_2 emissions, identifying key stakeholders on the island, understanding the policy context your island works in, and more.
Establishing this baseline ensures you have all the tools at hand to define effective and realistic transition pathways and projects.
The Off Grid Scottish islands asked for a support on energy islands diagnostic, including
a baseline energy consumption and CO2 emissions for the off-grid Scottish Islands (view the report)
a comparison between extending the life of internal combustion engine vehicles and electric cars (view the report)
a literature review on hybrid diesel-electric small boats for transport to and from the island (view the report)
We are a technology centre founded in 1993, seeking to provide innovative solutions for SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT.
Our research centre consists of a highly qualified and multidisciplinary team, composed of more than 185 professionals.
We work towards improving the competitiveness of enterprises through generation of technology transfer by means of R+D activities and market-oriented training within the field of resource sustainability and effectiveness, energy grids and renewable energies.
Islands are the ideal testbed for identifying, testing and introducing energy innovations. Island communities are resilient by nature therefore more inclined towards introducing systems and solutions that help to protect their community and increase their self-reliance. Clean energy-based microgrids are a way for islands to create a cleaner living environment, reduce dependence on fossil-based fuels and supply chains and reduce the overall cost of energy.
The Brand guidelines for the Clean Energy for EU Islands initiative are made for you who have signed either the pledge as a Transtion Team on an island or as a Supporting organisation who have signed the Declaration of support.
Please use the logo and brand responsibly.
New Energy Coalition is a network and knowledge coalition that is committed to a smart and successful transition to the sustainable energy system of the future, in the Netherlands and the rest of the world. The foundation is a triple-helix organization funded by public and private parties as well as knowledge institutions. The organization was created in 2017 when three renowned energy institutes merged: Energy Academy Europe, Energy Valley and Energy Delta Institute. This created a comprehensive coalition of knowledge and educational institutions, leading companies and governments.
CalWave's mission is to provide a solution to secure clean, affordable and reliable electricity and freshwater for coastal communities.
