EU-GUGLE
Summary:Aims to demonstrate the feasibility of nearly-zero energy building renovation models in view of triggering large-scale, Europe-wide replication in smart cities and communities by 2020.
Main objective:Taking on the challenge of sustainable renovation in urban areas, the cities of Vienna (AT), Aachen (DE), Milan (IT), Sestao (ES), Tampere (FI) and Bratislava (SK) have committed to renovating a total of 226,000m² of living space during the 5 years of the project, with the objective of achieving 40 to 80% primary energy savings per pilot district while increasing the share of renewable energy sources by 25% by 2018. Gothenburg (SE) and Gaziantep (TR) will take part in the 5-year project as associated cities and will be expected to start smart renovation activities during project’s lifetime.

VinyesXCalor
Summary:The Vineyards Virtuous Circle makes profit of vineyards pruning to generate heat and cold for wineries. This VVC involves all actors of the biomass value chain: biomass suppliers from vineyards, collectors of biomass, and consumers of energy, with the supervision of an institutional guarantor: the municipality of Vilafranca.
Main objective:The project aims to demonstrate the feasibility of a VINEYARDS VIRTUOUS CIRCLE (VVC) as a local strategy to mitigate climate change contributing to meet the goals to reduce greenhouse gases (GHG); in line with the European Union’s energy-climate package also known as 3*20 and, specifically, boosting the increase of renewable energy production to contribute up to 20% of EU’s energy needs.

Graskracht
Summary:The Graskracht project was intended to promote the conversion of grass to energy in Flanders. This project was mainly focused on the use of grass from roadsides and nature reserves. Grass is often seen as an annoying waste product, but it is certainly possible to use it much more efficiently.
Main objective:Biorefine cluster interconnects projects and people within the domain of biobased resource recovery. The competence focus lies on the biorefinery sector: the refinement of chemicals, materials, energy and products from biobased waste stream.

BiogasAction
Summary:Tool for successful regional biogas initiatives and deployment: compilation of comprehensive guidelines on how to fulfill the potential for biogas and biomethane development in Europe, based on proven support strategies.
Main objective:Biogas Action aims to serve as vehicle for the development of the European biogas sector and to increase the biogas and biomethane production in the European Union, by focusing on removing the non-technical barrirs to contribute to creating better frameworks for the widespread production of biogas and biomethane, in line with the EU 2020 targets.
