ublic Energy Alternatives - Sustainable energy strategies as a chance for regional development (PEA)

Start date: Nov 30, 2009, End date: Dec 15, 2012,

During the last years the costs for fossil energy resources are heavily increasing. Even though the prices for these resources will not be rising to ever new peaks it is obvious that they will remain on a high level and in medium and long term rise continuously. Consequently, the costs for public services, such as transportation or the provision of heat and electricity, are rising as well. This si ...

Dissemination and fostering of plasma based technological innovation for environment protection in BSR (PlasTEP)

Start date: Nov 30, 2009, End date: Dec 15, 2012,

The pollution control of the environment is a transnational request of all countries and a strategic aim of the European Union. This is also reflected in the increasing tightening of the exhaust emission standards particularly in the Baltic Sea Region countries. Causes by the constantly rising of the industrialisation the environmental impact also raises by exhaust air, exhaust gases and waste wat ...

Network of pioneering communities and regions working on innovative heat energy solutions (REGENERGY)

Start date: Mar 31, 2005, End date: Sep 29, 2007,

The availability of secure and efficient regional energy systems is an essential prerequisite for regional development, particularly for structurally weak regions. In its Green Paper on the Security of Energy Supply, the European Commission singled out heating as the largest energy sink that is mainly based on fossil and imported fuels. Municipalities play a key role, as they are suppliers of (dis ...
