ROBINSON Islands Energy Forum
The ROBINSON Islands Energy Forum brings together key stakeholders from European and local institutions, technology providers and Academia to address together the challenges to decarbonise islands. It will take place on 15 October 2020 from 9 am till 12:30 pm (CEST). Please be aware that participation to this event is on invitation only.
About ROBINSON
ROBINSON’s main mission is to develop an integrated energy system to help decarbonise islands with industrial activities. The system, which will be demonstrated on the island of Eigerøy, Norway, couples locally available energy sources, electrical and thermal networks and innovative 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 (EMS) that will include non-electrical resources such as biomass gasification, wastewater valorisation and industrial symbiosis. More information on ROBINSON available on the CORDIS portal by the European Commission.
