The third study tour of the TRACER project took place in the target region in Romania (Jiu Valley, West Region RO42) on 15th -17th March 2022, alongside the TRACER Progress Meeting. The study tour was organised in line with the WP7 activities “Research and Innovation Cooperation of coal intensive regions”. The goal of the study tour was to show the status of the energy transition process in the Jiu Valley, introduce ongoing innovative actions in the region and share best practices.

As part of the 2022 edition of the World Sustainable Energy Days (WSED 2022), the REPLACE project partners organised the workshop “Towards Renewable Heating & Cooling: Replacement of Inefficient Systems in the Residential Sector” , which took place on 08/04 and was an excellent opportunity to exchange with participants about renewable heating and cooling in the residential sector.

The workshop introduced the project REPLACE with its aims, tools and actions, it gave an overview of the decarbonisation of the heating and cooling sector in Europe, and looked at the main challenges and drivers, as well as to possible solutions and recommendations, to successfully switch to climate-friendly technologies at home. The workshop also included an animated roundtable discussion on how the phase-out of fossil-based heating systems can be brought forward in the European agenda, and concretely in the countries of South-East and Central Europe.

The full recording of the workshop is available AT THIS LINK.

The ETIP PV annual conference was a great success. The online event covered four sessions, discussing the challenges of the transition to climate neutrality and a sustainable future with Photovoltaics. These two topics will become the overarching objective of major EU policies and actions. You can now find all session to rewatch on the ETIP PV website.

“Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda” (SRIA) for Photovoltaics"

The ETIP PV has developed and published the Report “Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda” (SRIA) for responding to this decade’s priorities. This SRIA Report was developed through a sector-wide consultation and contributions from the European R&I community to identify future R&I priorities and to guide policymakers on the ways to support the development of solar energy in Europe. You can find the report for download here.
