Renewable Energy for the Optimization of Resources in Industrial Areas
Nowadays, climate change represents one of the most serious global challenges, requiring urgent energy-efficiency plans and actions through combined efforts from local, national and international authorities from all around the world. In particular, at industrial level, one of the main needs is to satisfy the lack of knowledge and concrete actions in terms of renewable energy. Local industrial bodies are at the forefront of implementing ambitious policies but still need to be empowered with adequate know-how and means to participate in the definition of energy and climate international plans, which would enable them to make a concrete contribution. The project Re-sources will tackle this challenge in the Southern Adriatic area, with the objective to promote the sustainable energy efficiency and optimization of resources related to the Industry 4.0 at cross-border level, also through the energy re-use. In particular, the project will fulfill this objective through the organization of two workshops, one in Puglia and one in Albania in order to mutually exchange knowledge and experience in this concern, with the expected result of disseminating the current solutions related to the optimization of energy systems in the smart industry in the Programme area. These two outputs will be followed by an international incoming event organized in Italy, in order to concretely show the results experimented and promoted by Consortium ASI of Brindisi in the Apulian industrial area of Brindisi. In general, not only policymakers and stakeholders involved in the industrial sector will directly benefit from these outputs, but also local communities who will indirectly take advantage of the sustainable energy systems adopted at local level. Finally, the project Re-source will adopt a cross-border and partecipative approach aimed to open a constructive debate and create a network on new methods of energy re-use and optimization in the Progamme area.
