The EU has worked on many fronts towards a greener and more sustainable environment.
Within this context, innovation alongside environmental protection can promote the development of new businesses. We empower clients along the whole spectrum of public and private sphere, from governements and public organizations to SMEs, corporations and start-ups, by providing advisory services on sustainable development, climate change, energy transition, zero-carbon economies, and social and environmental governance.
Balancing Energy Trilemma: Expert Solutions for Zero-Carbon Transition
Despite the significance of sustainability within the EU Energy and Climate policy, it is only
one of the objectives of the “energy trilemma”, which also includes energy security -
governed by the complex physical constraints of the energy systems- and energy affordability
-pursued through deregulated and constantly changing electricity markets-. We help
organisations to shed light on the complex interactions between the three objectives and thus
achieve a secure and cost-effective transition to the zero-carbon energy future, by combining
academic and practical expertise in energy systems modelling, electricity markets design &
regulation, optimisation, and machine learning.
Our energy systems and electricity markets services include:
Modelling optimal short-term operation (unit commitment studies, power flow
studies) and long-term planning (generation, transmission, distribution) of power
systems
Analysing the system impacts of new technologies (renewable and distributed
generation, battery energy storage, flexible demand, electric vehicles)
Modelling and designing deregulated electricity markets (including energy, balancing,
re-dispatch and capacity markets)
Devising optimal market participation solutions for large-scale and small-scale energy
producers, consumers and prosumers, including the monetisation of their flexibility
Modelling and analysing strategic behaviour and market power effects
Designing of dynamic pricing schemes (for electricity suppliers and aggregators) and transmission / distribution network charging schemes (for system / network operators).
Designing and analysing new structures for the coordination of small-scale energy
prosumers, including microgrids, energy communities and local energy markets
Developing energy and climate action plans for municipalities and local authorities.
Proposing regulatory interventions towards addressing market barriers for new energy technologies.
Minimizing pollution and redefining the value of materials by harnessing what was previously thought of as waste, brings significant long-term benefits to the environment and our communities. We promote sustainable development through effective managament of resources and waste valorisation, and help organizations rethink the use of scarce resouces and redefine the products' life-cycles.
Our waste management services are:
Environmental and Circular Economy Strategy
Environmental licensing / permit & documentation
Environmental Impact & Assessment
Innovation recommendations
Exploration and facilitation for technologies to reduce waste, increase recycling and reuse
Studies & facilitation for safer treatment and disposal options
Strategic planning for waste facilities
Operational supports (e.g. regulatory liaison, monitoring of compliance)
Unlocking Sustainable Transformation: The Crucial Role of Funding and Financing in Climate-Friendly Investments
Environemtally sustainable operations such as, reducing the carbon footprint, creating circular business models, reusing and recycling of products and greening supply chains, promoting renewable energy and energy efficiency, amongst others, can be rather costly and sometimes even technologically immature. Funding and financing offer a lifeline to climate friendly investments, paving the way for businesses to finance their transformation and become both environmentally and financially sustainable.
Our sustainability projects funding services are:
Identifying national and EU funding applications (e.g. LIFE, Innovation Fund)
Innovation assessment and evaluation
Technical readiness level assessment and alignment with each initiative's scope and objectives
Cost benefit analysis and optimization
Budget preparation and investment plan development
Analysis of financial instruments and design of appropriate funding / financing mix
Optimal environmental protection is based on three pillars:
Precaution, prevention and reduction of the energy footprint. We help companies, governments, regional and local authorities to strengthen their environmental management capacity, reduce their environmental footprint and develop inclusive growth strategies for environmentally sustainable development.
Our environmental policy services are:
Design of vision and mission statements.
Identification of specific organisational goals and objectives
Policy and legislative recommendations
Recommendations during the design and operation of various facilities and infrastructure
Provision of stategies and roadmaps for sustainable transportation and convergence of the energy and mobility sectors (e.g. e-mobility, low carbon smart grids)
Socio-economic and environmental impact for sustainable and smart cities
Institutional capacity building and strengthening in the context of sustainability
Provision of guidelines to human resources for the implementation of enironmentally friendly procedures
