Video: Introducing SUSTENANCE project

SUSTENANCE is an HORIZON2020 project that aims to set up sustainable energy systems in order to achieve novel carbon-neutral energy communities.

This video introduces the aims of the project and presents in a nutshell the objectives of its 6 demonstrators, three from EU and three from India.

The project's main focus is the development of technical solutions and business models, while at the same time involve citizens in the process. In other words, SUSTENANCE helps setting up the local integrated energy systems therefore enabling the energy transition.

The carbon-neutral communities will obtain higher shares of local renewable energy and efficiently integrated energy solutions for their electrical, heat, water, waste and transportation infrastructure.

The demonstration activities are set up in 4 countries: Denmark, the Netherlands, Poland and India. Countries that differ in local energy resources, user behavior, political structures, socio-economic and market conditions and regulations.

However, SUSTENANCE will show how the same technical concepts e.g., the coupling of different energy vectors, storage solutions, demand response, smart control and digitalization, can be applied in each case, despite these differences.

Watch the video and find out how SUSTENANCE will enable the Green Transition.
