Project description
Helping islands become self-sufficient with renewable energy
Islands often find it challenging to ensure a clean, secure and cost-effective supply of energy. The key is to decrease dependency on fossil fuels and become energy self-sufficient through a mix of renewable energy generation and storage infrastructure. ROBINSON’s main mission is to develop an integrated energy system to help decarbonise islands. The system, which will be demonstrated on the island of Eigerøy, Norway, couples locally available energy sources, electrical and thermal networks and storage technologies, using hydrogen as energy carrier. In order to achieve the target, innovative technologies will be developed, integrated on the island and managed by a novel energy management system that will include non-electrical resources such as biomass gasification, wastewater valorisation and industrial symbiosis.
