Accelerating the decarbonisation of islands’ energy systems

Project description

Smarter energy on Borkum island

Years ago, a project for a new coal-fired power plant on the island of Borkum in Germany generated concerns over air quality, which led to the decision to make the island fully decarbonised by 2030. The EU-funded ISLANDER project will design a process to make Borkum a fully autonomous and decarbonised energy island system. The project will focus on the introduction of distributed renewable energy + small-scale storage (RESS) systems and complementary short-to-seasonal, large-scale electricity storage and seawater district heating. This will be coupled with heat storage to make use of the heat of the North Sea water as a heating and cooling source. ISLANDER will also demonstrate the deployment of an electric vehicle charging network, a smart IT platform and an optimisation tool to optimally design zero-carbon island energy systems.
