BEA-APP
Baltic Energy Areas – A Planning Perspective

The Interreg project BEA-APP compiled experience from eight countries around the Baltic Sea that helps regional planning authorities to accelerate the setup of windfarms, solar parks, biogas plants and the like.

Baltic InteGrid
Integrated Baltic offshore wind electricity grid development

The Interreg project Baltic Integrid shaped a plan for a coordinated Baltic Sea offshore electricity grid - a big leap forward to removing one of the most important bottlenecks for the development of renewable energy sources in the Baltic Sea region.

Co2mmunity
Co-producing and co-financing renewable community energy projects

When citizens join forces to set up, finance and manage energy production based on renewables in their region, we call it renewable community energy. The project gives municipalities, regional energy planning agencies and citizens’ associations across the Baltic Sea region the information they need to start and run community energy projects in their regions.

Baltic ForBio
Accelerating production of forest bioenergy in the Baltic Sea Region

There is a growing demand for forest biomass from by-products of the wood industry to be used as a source of renewable energy. The project exploits logging residues, which are usually discarded after forest harvests, and small trees that are cut during forest thinning. Along with guidelines for using new technology, the project compiles information on wood energy potential to shape innovative business models and develop small-scale bioenergy plants in rural areas of the Baltic Sea region.

BalticBiomass4Value
Unlocking the Potential of Bio-based Value Chains in the Baltic Sea Region

Unlike wind and sun, biomass can be stored and used when needed, making it a reliable source of energy. The BalticBiomass4Value project wants to increase the efficient and sustainable use of biomass for energy production and valuable bio-products, such as food, feed, fertilisers, chemicals and cosmetics.

Energize Co2mmunity
Real-life implementation of renewable community energy projects

Energize CO2mmunity launches real-life pilot projects of renewable community energy in the Baltic Sea region. Citizens facilitate, implement and co-finance renewable energy projects from different local sources (e.g. solar, wind, biomass, geothermal). Such community energy projects are more easily accepted by society than commercial solar or wind parks and thus foster the transition towards renewable energy production. Communities from two regions pair up to learn from and to support each other.
