An inspiring study tour was conducted in early April as part of the COMMENCE project. Bringing together experts from Slovakia, Czechia, Poland, and Hungary, this tour offered a fantastic opportunity to learn about the development and challenges of Renewable Energy Communities (RECs) in Austria.
The purpose of this report is to provide a detailed comparative analysis of Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) frameworks in Kosovo, Albania and the European Union with the aim of identifying policy gaps and offering targeted recommendations for improving energy efficiency in these regions.
Drive for energy efficiency in buildings is a key element in mitigating climate change, ensuring energy security and promoting sustainable development. The RenovAID project, aimed at increasing the energy efficiency of buildings in Albania and Kosovo, addresses these key objectives
Despite a pressing economic dependence on carbon-intensive industries and significant potential for carbon management (CM), multiple Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries face challenges in implementing CM strategies and projects due to limited understanding, governance gaps, and low public awareness.
On 21 November 2024, the first Polish National Workshop on Electricity in Energy Communities was organized as part of the Commence project. The event, hosted on the Zoom platform, brought together 40 participants, including representatives of local governments and existing energy communities.
Opportunities and Challenges of the Polish Steel Industry Transformation
The purpose of this report is to contribute to the ongoing efforts of the RenovAID project to improve the energy efficiency of buildings in Kosovo and Albania.
Report about challenges and vision for the future of the steel sector in Poland.
Buildings are a crucial focus in the energy transition due to their already high share in energy consumption, rapidly growing global floor area, longevity of buildings, heating and cooling infrastructure.
