Sustainable energy systems 2050
Ten Nordic projects are part of this Nordic Energy Research programme. The goal is to develop integrated solutions in the energy sector, with a long term perspective.
The Nordic region is rich in renewable biomass resources
The board of Nordic Energy Research has selected 10 of the 90 applications for funding in the research programme Sustainable Energy Systems 2050. The aim of the programme is to develop integrated solutions between renewable energy solutions, low-carbon transport, electricity grids and energy markets.
The ten projects cover solar energy, bioenergy, wind energy, smart grids, policy projects and projects in the field of transportation. A total of 100 MNOK is divided between 8 research projects and 2 industry projects. The project partners cover all the Nordic countries and come from universities, research institutions and industry.
