DC-POWER
Press Release - Revolutionizing Energy Distribution: Medium Voltage DC Grids Driving Megawatt-Scale Applications
January 2024
The DC-POWER Project Launches
Brace yourselves for a monumental leap into the future of energy distribution! The DC-POWER project, funded by the European Union, has officially kick-started in January 2024.
Coordinated by CEA (INES), this groundbreaking project will show the marvels of medium voltage direct current (MVDC) grids operating at bipolar ±1.5kV, ushering in a new era of sustainable power distribution with at least a jaw-dropping 50% reduction in copper conductor usage.

ESCIB
Press Release - ESCIB Project Kick-Off: Supporting Sustainability and Circularity in Europe’s Bio-Based Economy
January 2024
On January 16th and 17th, 2024, Munich, the ESCIB project marks a significant stride towards reinventing Europe's bio-based economy.
Organisations and countries worldwide have instituted policies and regulations to reduce the environmental impact and to increase the overall sustainability of products. Thanks to this push, many innovations and novel technologies are being developed to produce materials and goods which are based on biomass. To assess if these products are better than conventional products, life cycle assessments are used. Results of these assessments enable to evaluate products which are under development or in the market already. A challenge, however, is that these assessments can be complicated, especially for products that are still under development, products that are based on so called low technology readiness levels (TRL).

AgroFossilFree
Press Release - Brokerage Event of AgroFossilFree
June 2023
Last June 22nd AgroFossilFree celebrated its Brokerage Event in Brussels. After almost three years of work, the event was an opportunity to present the main results, such as the AgEnergy Platform, an interactive tool containing more than 1.500 Fossil-Energy-Free Technologies and Strategies (FEFTS), and a Decision Support Tool that mimics the consultation process of a series of experts as if they were evaluating and ranking the input data provided by the end user to propose the most interesting interventions for each farm. The project partners also presented 19 policy recommendations that compile all the conclusions pursued by the project to pave the way towards the de-fossilisation of EU agriculture by decreasing the dependency on fossil energy while maintaining the yield and quality of the final product and reducing the environmental impact.

Pressemitteilung - Deutsche Informationsplattform Erneuerbare Energiegemeinschaften ist Online!
Juni 2023
München, 28.06.2023 Die Energiewende ist eines der drängendsten Themen der Zeit, da die Brisanz des Klimawandels nicht mehr zu übersehen ist. Auch Fragen der Energiesicherheit und Energiepreise spielen eine immer wichtigere Rolle. Ein zentrales Element, um die Energiewende voranzutreiben, sind Bürgerenergiegemeinschaften. Durch geeignete Rahmenbedingungen, besonders durch das Erneuerbare-Energien-Gesetz (EEG), welches im Jahr 2000 eingeführt wurde, wurden viele Energiegemeinschaften gegründet, um er-neuerbare Energieprojekte zu realisieren. Diese positive Entwicklung verlangsamte sich in den letzten Jahren deutlich und muss nun wieder unterstützt werden.
