Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
'The overall objective of RESGen project is to create realistic grounds and practical tools for developing regional energy self sufficiency, and potential innovative regional research-driven clusters across the EU. This objective will be achieved through a Workplan consisting of six WP's, being WP1 project management and coordination. WP2 will intend to boost and increase the understanding of the regional sustainable energy concept as well as to identify, assess and compare regional capacities and capabilities or research driven clusters to generate sustainable energy and related economic development. WP3 will produce Road Maps and Vision 2010-2020 for the regions involved. WP4 will lead to the definition of Joint Action Plan for further collaboration. In WP5 Mentoring activities will be implemented concentrating on mutual learning and exchange of knowledge. WP6 will be devoted to Communication and Dissemination. RESGen will have a strong and clear focus on external communication and dissemination right form the beginning. The RESGen consortium brings together nine partners, from four different EU regions and countries. Each region is represented with businesses, academic/research institutions and local/regional government body. Partners from Finland are Regional Council of Ostrobothnia, University of Vaasa - Vaasa Energy Institute, Oy Merinova Ab. Partners from Spain are Fundación Labein, Ente Vasco de la Energía and Cluster de Energía del País Vasco. Partners from Hungary are North-Hungarian Regional Innovation Agency and Károly Róbert College and from the UK Cornwall County Council.'
Descrizione progetto (Article)
Albeit desirable, the sustainable energy concept is still in its infancy. Implementation of emerging technologies in the energy sector requires the involvement of key players such as municipalities and governmental authorities.
With EU funding, the http://www.obotnia.fi/resgen/ (RESGEN) (RES generation-From infrastructure to sustainable energy and reduction of CO2 emissions) project promoted regional energy self-sufficiency by coordinating the innovative work of regional research clusters across the EU. The main goal was to evaluate and compare regional capacity and capabilities of generating sustainable energy to draw up four different roadmaps and a joint action plan (JAP).
The approach followed by the RESGEN consortium to boost sustainable energy entailed the development of comprehensive regional strategies. These integrated all of the main regional stakeholders, industries, regional authorities, and research and development bodies into regional development programmes.
RESGEN contributed to new thinking in the regions involved. The benchmarking leading to the roadmaps provided a useful tool for the regions and helped to initiate dialogue within different European organisations. Based on the work carried out in the project, Ostrobothnia was able to contribute to the European debate and lead active discussions within a smart specialisation platform. This platform was established by the European Commission to provide professional advice to regions on their innovation strategies.
A number of JAPs helped strengthen cooperation amongst the partners and enabled them to identify different topics for future collaboration. The JAP themes covered smart grids, regional sustainable energy management, wind energy, energy efficiency, green public procurement and marine energy.
Achieving energy self-sufficiency will be a long-lasting process that should positively impact society. By preparing regions for sustainable energy management, RESGEN contributed to EU goals of reducing carbon dioxide emissions.
