Minimising Energy Consumption for Green Buildings respecting present uses and public needs – GreenBuilding

Mediterranean countries need to reduce energy consumption and adverse environmental impacts due to the high dependence on fossil fuels. GreenBuilding project intends to tackle this challenge by promoting the use of renewable energy sources and energy efficiency measures in public buildings since renewable energies represent a natural competitive advantage for the Mediterranean. The project will support 3 cost-effective public buildings energy refurbishment in Greece, Tunisia and Jordan. Furthermore, it will strengthen the capacities of public institutions to effectively plan and implement sustainable energy policies, through the identification of cost-effective energy refurbishment approaches, transfer of technical know-how and the enhancement of higher research institutions, energy SMEs and business support organizations.

Acronym: GreenBuilding

Full title: Minimising Energy Consumption for Green Buildings respecting present uses and public needs

Thematic objective: B.4 Environmental protection, climate change adaptation and mitigation

Priority: B.4.3 Energy efficiency and renewable energy

Countries: Greece, Spain, Lebanon, Tunisia, Jordan

Total Budget: 2.2 million euro

EU Contribution: 1.9 million euro

Interreg MED Modular project - BLUE DEAL - "Blue Energy Deployment Alliance"

The MED area will include Blue Energy (BE) in maritime planning and governance, thanks to BLUE DEAL project. Given the early stage of BE technologies, proper information to deliver consistent strategies, plans and regulations in the BE sector are still missing; this often compromises public-private initiatives for exploiting marine renewable energy and discourages investments. The project’s aim is to overcome current technical and administrative restrictions for BE deployment and define proper requirements and procedures to support decisions and guarantee compliance with regulatory, environmental and social constraints. BLUE DEAL foresights a series of transnational Labs to involve multi-sectorial stakeholders, perform participative planning processes and establish public-private alliances through open innovation actions.

Interreg MED Modular project – BLUEfasma- "Empowering innovation capacity of SMEs, maritime clusters and networks in MED islands and coastal areas to support blue circular economy growth in fishing/aquaculture"

BLUEfasma integrates and implements Circular Economy (CE) principles in the key blue growth sector of fishing/aquaculture to benefit MED insular/coastal areas in a novel/innovative way. The project team tackles the transnational challenge of continual depletion of natural resources and the below-EU-average MED CE innovation performance in fishing/aquaculture. Its overall objective is to empower innovation capacity of SMEs, maritime clusters/networks, PAs to boost blue CE growth in insular/coastal areas. CE prevents depletion of resources by closing energy & materials loops, leading to smart/sustainable growth as a key MED joint asset.

Interreg MED Horizontal Project - “Green Growth”

The Horizontal Project (HP) Green Growth aims to support the Modular Projects (MPs) under the Green Growth thematic of the Interreg MED Programme priority Axis 1 - Innovation. The HP Green Growth will act as a community of projects promoting a sustainable development by fostering innovation through an integrated and territorial based cooperation approach. The HP Green Growth will build upon achievements of the first phase HP SYNGGI and will further maximize the transnational replicability and capitalization potential of results. It will involve the Quadruple helix actors in Mobilization and Mutual Learning workshops and training and matchmaking sessions to share their best practices in the field of green growth and to promote the effective transfer of concrete results into regional/national policies. The expected outcomes will facilitate the creation of multi-stakeholders shared actions plans to highlight new opportunities and to unlock market potentials.
