ETU Initiative Conference: how can the ETU support your energy transition?

March 16 – 17 | Workshop | Hybrid event

About

On the 16th and 17th March 2022, the Euro-Mediterranean Economists Association (EMEA), partner of the Interreg MED Renewable Energy project, is organising and hosting a hybrid conference to showcase and disseminate the ETU Initiative. Participants can join either in person in Barcelona, Spain, or connect to the sessions online.

The conference will bring together renewable energy experts and representatives from the ETU Initiative’s Flagship Case municipalities, to explore topics such as the potential of renewable energy communities to reduce energy poverty, methods for financing the green energy transition, how to develop Sustainable Energy Action Plans (SECAPs), how to optimise biomass production, and plenty more.

About EMP-E 2021 Conference: Re-Energising Sustainable Transitions in Europe

Energy System Modelling, Methods & Results to support the European Green Deal

The annual EMP-E conference brings together Europe’s energy modelling community over a three-day period in a forum for deep exchange of research and modelling practice and varied discussions. The event will feature a balanced mix of high-level panel discussions and interactive workshop sessions to enable a peer-reviewed digest of models and policy insights for the transformation of the European energy system. The EMP-E 2021 conference will be a forum for exchange among researchers and modelling teams from across Europe; from H2020 projects, representatives of the European Commission as well as partners from industry and civil society.

EMP-E was created in 2017 and has since been organised on a yearly basis by the H2020 Energy Modelling group – a group of projects funded by the European Commission’s Research and Innovation Programme. This year, the event is coordinated by SENTINEL – the Sustainable Energy Transitions  Laboratory, with support of NAVIGATE, SPINE, WHY, OpenENTRANCE, AURES, PLANET, Plan4RES and MAGNITUDE.

Days and themes

• Day 1: Policies and Targets: Targets for 2030 and 2050, COP26, biodiversity and environment policies and aiding post COVID recovery
• Day 2: Linking Sectors and Technologies: The building sector, smartness of energy systems, digital input and technological diffusion
• Day 3: Modelling-specific issues: How to promote better transparency, collaboration across modelling teams, how to capture (model) social and behavioural change

Empowering the energy transition through FAIR and open data with the EnerMaps data management tool.  

Wednesday 20 October | 11.00 am to 12.00 pm | Webinar

Accelerating the energy transition is an urgent priority for Europe. By 2050, the EU Green deal targets include at least a 55% reduction of GHG emissions. Further research is required to better understand how to facilitate this change. That’s why accurate, open-source data is a priority to provide scientists and energy experts with the information needed to protect our planet’s future and accelerate the energy transition. 

About

The EnerMaps H2020 project started in April 2020 with the aim of centralising, improving, increasing and ensuring the quality of data in the energy field by creating a user-friendly platform that is open to everyone and based on the principle of FAIR data.   

As part of the EUSEW Sustainable Energy Days, this workshop will give an overview of the existing challenges and initiatives created to contribute to the energy transition and support decision-making among energy professionals. By increasing efficiency among energy professionals, EnerMaps will improve Europe’s competitiveness.      

This workshop is directed towards the intended final users of the EnerMaps platform/tools: academics; public administrators; policy–makers; and industry professionals (energy planners, experts and consultants, research and development professionals, data providers and social innovation experts).    

The session will include a demonstration of the tool from a public partner, a researcher and an industry point of view.  

Agenda

1. Context and challenges of open energy data: Jakob Rager, Director and Project Coordinator, Crem
2. Datasets collection, validation, and exploitation: Eric Wilczynski, PhD Researcher, EURAC Research
3. EnerMaps tool demonstration: Jakob Rager, Director and Project Coordinator, Crem
4. Training programme: Giulia Conforto, Researcher, e-think

This event will be moderated by Clémence Contant, Communications Manager, REVOLVE

Workshop: Thursday 9 September | 14.00 to 15.30

Location: École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne ‐ EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland

The EnerMaps project has been selected for the 16th CISBAT Conference dedicated to Carbon Neutral Cities – Energy Efficiency & Renewables in the Digital Era.

About

The management of the energy transition depends on the availability and the quality of a large range of data. Data is often difficult to find, mixed in different repositories, resulting in a lack of efficiency for research and energy management. EnerMaps aims to improve data management and accessibility in the field of energy. The purpose of the workshop is to introduce the technical concepts behind the EnerMaps Data Management Tool (EDMT), the Energy Community Gateway, and to demonstrate live its use through concrete examples.

The H2020 project EnerMaps has been working to coordinate and enrich existing energy databases to share and reuse energy data more FAIR’ly and as such more efficiently. For researchers, EnerMaps will provide tools to communicate and disseminate data efficiently, based on existing large scientific repositories.
For the renewable technology industry, energy planners, energy utilities, energy managers, energy consultants, and public administration officers specialised in the energy sector as well as social innovation experts and data providers, EnerMaps will act as a quality-checked database of crucial energy data and a possibility to access rapidly new innovative datasets as well as related insights to inform decision-makers.

Agenda

In this workshop we will present the main challenges of the energy sector that EnerMaps is trying to overcome, and the technical development of tools such as the data sources selection and the database structure. Both of the EnerMaps tools – the Energy Community Gateway and the visualisation tool with the calculation modules – will be presented through case studies to demonstrate the functionalities at the current development stage and their user-friendly navigation.

The afternoon will conclude with an open discussion with the experts.
