Some Project Results
The Culatra 2030 Project
Member of the Coordination Team of the Culatra 2030 project. The Culatra 2030 project was selected as one of six pilot projects by the European Union Islands Secretariat (https://euislands.eu/island/culatra), that has supported the definition of a transition agenda to achieve energy and environmental sustainability, in the Culatra Island, Ria Formosa, Algarve, Portugal. The European Commission elected the “Culatra 2030” as an example of a living lab for the sustainable energy transition ambition of the Algarve Region's smart specialization (S3) (https://s3platform.jrc.ec.europa.eu/en-US/web/guest/w/a-living-lab-for-the-sustainable-energy-transition-ambition-of-the-algarve-region-s-s3).
The project has three main objectives: (1) To position the Algarve region as a center of excellence in research and training in renewable energy; (2) Create effective bridges between the local community, research in the renewable sector and businesses in the region; and (3) To promote environmental sustainability, the adaptation of the island to climate change and contribute to the emergence of projects that stimulate the circular economy.
The transition agenda was published in November 2019 (https://www.culatra2030.pt/Agenda-de-Transicao.pdf). Several applications for funding are being submitted in several domains. An application has been recently approved for the first implementations.
The following images show the first solar plants to install in the island.
