Project description
Public and private sector collaboration in renewables
The demand for urban renewable energy solutions (RES) is increasing. Advanced technology is usually created by innovative SMEs, and cooperation between private and public sectors could positively impact development in the renewables sector. The EU-funded XPRESS project aims to promote advanced RES technologies and increase the role renewables play in EU cities and municipalities. The project will create a web platform for public suppliers, innovative companies and consumers of green innovations. It will estimate the needs in low carbon energy and improve the application of Green Public Procurement (GPP)(opens in new window), which plays a key role in the EU's efforts towards a resource-efficient economy.
Objective
The general objective of XPRESS is to facilitate the introduction of innovative RES technologies and increase the share of renewable energy in the final energy consumption through the following specific objectives:
1. creating a web platform that supports interacting between public procurers, innovative SMEs and end users of green innovations (WP2);
2. mapping of the low carbon energy needs of cities and municipalities with the RES technologies developed by innovative SMEs (WP1 and WP2);
3. improving the application of GPPs to innovative RES technologies (WP3);
4. increasing the awareness of innovative SMEs about RES technologies via GPPs (WP3);
5. develping a new methodology to evaluate RES technologies developed by innovative SMEs across their life cycle in order to estimate the CO2 emissions (WP4).
XPRESS will focus initially on selected cities and municipalities within UK, Italy, Norway, Germany, Sweden, Spain, Denmark, Slovakia, Portugal and Belgium with the goal of extending the analysis and the involvement to wider regions within those countries.
The project will demonstrate the positive impact of innovative GPPs on cities and municipalities and SMEs in terms of energy savings, energy efficiency and lower carbon emissions.
