Technology

To promote the exchange and generation of knowledge among European and Latin American research infrastructures based in the innovation and development of technologies for low emission energy resources and carriers.

WP1: Mobilities for technology

Expected results

To promote Scientific Cooperation Networks between Latin American R&I entities and European research infrastructures able to create innovative solutions to transform energy sector.

eee

To generate dialogue and exchange with local context (indigenous, rural communities, etc.) in order to generate capacities on how to use clean energy (as solar thermal energy) on social needs (i.e. water desalination).

Activities

Mobilities of Technologies from LAC entities to European research infrastructures and from European research infrastructures to LAC R&I entities to promote Scientific Cooperation Networks between participating entities.

eee

Technical assistance for the capacity building of indigenous and rural communities about the use of green energy on social needs.

eee

Elaboration of an inventory of research infrastructure available in Latin America and Europe to support the implementation and consolidation of green hydrogen production and lithium supply chains.

WP2: Research and innovation actions for technology

Expected results

eee

Sustainable pillar

Climate change is not just an environmental problem, but also an economic, political, social and security one. The energy transition needs to be a green transition. Energy transition is a path born from different scenarios. One of the most notable causes is climate change; therefore, any step in favor of energy transition cannot be taken to the detriment of the Earth. Despite this, there are several processes of that transition that highly impact environments.

Social pillar

The just transition is the third pillar that characterizes this project. It is based in the importance of comparatively systematizing lithium, green hydrogen and renewable energy policies to ensure that a policy guided by principles of just transition is being produced in the countries in the consortium, both for local communities and for the country as a whole in terms of trade and development opportunities.

Public affairs

International problems require international solutions. Latin America is one of the regions of the world that has been suffering the most climate change making it a clear key ally for the European Union in its plans for dealing with this issue.
