ENERMED

Project developed supporting sustainable energy decision making instruments in the Mediterranean regions. Pilot case on using thermal water for african catfish farms was implemented in Slovenia.

Funded by MED programme.

ENERMED is a transnational cooperation project implemented in the MED program brings together local authorities in Spain (La Pobla de Benissa and the Community of Valencia), French regions (PACA), Greece (Crete), Italy (Tuscany, Sardinia ) and research institutes in the field of energy policies and sustainable development: Institut de la Méditerranée, Scuola Superiore Santa Anna in Pisa, Laor, E-Zavod, CERTH, Centre for Renewable Energy (CRES), Institute of Energy Hrvoje Pozar (EIHP). ENERMED aims to improve and bring coherence to the Mediterranean regional policies on renewable energy and specifically:

• Identify key assumptions and major trade-offs that determine regional policies on renewable energy.
• Identify scope of action and the institutional levers for better optimization of resources.
• Experiment with innovative solutions to optimize regional resources and financial resources available in each partner region.
• Develop an operational strategy of transnational Mediterranean regions in reducing CO2 emissions and developing renewable energy.

The goal of this project is to improve:

• the quality of the regional policies in support of the RE.
• the contribution of the RE in the energy production.
• the economic, social, environmental, landscaped impact of the projects on RE.
