Energy and Environment

This project is implemented in the framework of the contract-frame with the European Commission in the sector of energy (Framework Contract, Lot-4), that aims at the rapid benefit of technical aid in third countries in the above sectors. The aim of particular work is the scientific support to the European Commission, to assist the INOGATE Partner Countries in ensuring improved control of their energy consumption in the building sector by promoting and developing EE, as well as the use of RE where applicable, in this particular area.

The objectives of the action are: 
• Analysing present policies concerning EU MS and Community targets for energy import. 
• Evaluating technical, economical and environmental characteristics of present and future energy corridors within Europe and among Europe and the supplying regions of the World, taking into account the different typology of infrastructures and technologies, the flows and the distances involved for oil, natural gas, coal, electricity, uranium, biomass and hydrogen. 

The project’s objective is the development of a Study Report for the analysis and evaluation of economic and social benefits from the surge protection of internal electrical installations. The project’s aim is the identification, record and detailed analysis of the technical and social parameters – impacts due to malfunctions of the residential and commercial consumers’ electronic and electrical equipment.

The Kyoto Protocol sets legally binding emission targets for GHGs, which apply to industrialised countries. To reach the targets, countries may a.o. use JI and CDM to acquiring emission rights through investment in projects abroad. The political process of designing JI and CDM will require continuous input from science and practice. A crucial issue is the calculation of GHG abatement achieved via JI or CDM. For this a baseline has to be determined of what the GHG emissions would have amounted to if the project and not taken place.

 The Rural Web Energy Learning Network for Action – eReNet aims to add value to local actions in rural communities. eReNet will foster rural communities in the development, implementation and monitoring of their Sustainable Energy Action Plans (SEAPs) and capacity building of the related actors through knowledge transfer from experienced communities.

This project is implemented in the framework of the contract-frame with the European Commission in the sector of energy (Framework Contract, Lot-4), that aims at the rapid benefit of technical aid in third countries in the above sectors.The aim of particular work is the scientific support to the European Commission, to analyse the role played and methods applied by Rural Electrification Funds in the electrification of rural areas in Africa, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa.

The overall objective of the Euro-Arab Mashreq Gas Market project is to contribute to the integration of the gas markets of Egypt, Lebanon ad Syria in view of creating a regional internal gas market to be integrated with the EU internal Gas Market:
The general objectives include:
•   Contributing to the completion of key connecting infrastructures in the region (Arab Gas Pipeline, other interconnecting infrastructures, etc.);
•   Promoting the use of gas in industries, commercial buildings, and possibly other sectors;
