ENCLUDE - Energy Citizens For Inclusive Decarbonisation

ENCLUDE is a Horizon2020 multi partner project aiming to define, contextualise and integrate the concept of energy citizenship into decision making processes.
During ENCLUDE, we will rethink and redesign engagement processes between government, business, civil society organisations and citizens for a decarbonised future for and with all.
To achieve these goals, the project benefits from the inclusive and trans-disciplinary research framework of the partners. Here, Th!nk E takes the lead in contextualising the emergence and consolidation of energy citizenship.

Clean Energy for EU Islands Secretariat

Welcome to the 2nd phase of the Clean Energy for EU Islands Secretariat! While big nations and corporates announce their net-zero ambitions, the Secretariat continues the work of its predecessor to demonstrate the importance of island decarbonisation. Visit euislands.eu to learn more about the Secretariat's objectives!

Bat2Portal

Bat2Portal brochures provide information about the possibilities as well as points of attention while integrating neighbourhood batteries in residential areas and industrial zones in Flemish Brabant, Belgium.

The information made available through this brochure is the result of extensive research into neighbourhood batteries led by Th!nk E in cooperation with Green Park Energy, Fieldfisher and FINN Agency. The research was completed between August 2019 and June 2020 and was possible thanks to the subsidy of the Province of Flemish Brabant, aims achieving the environmental objectives by 2040.

Musegrids

MUSE GRIDS aims to be an industry/social driven LIGHTHOUSE PROJECT for the transition towards a sustainable energy landscape. It aims to demonstrate, system-wide and in real-life operational conditions, a set of both technological and non-technological solutions adapted to local circumstances targeting local urban energy grids. Two large-scale pilot projects are implemented in two different European regions, in urban (OSIMO) and rural (OUD HEVERLEE) contexts, both with weak connection to the national grid and energy markets. Th!nk E manages the Oud Heverlee pilot where it is responsible for user engagement and technical installations.

V2G and Smart Car Charging

EY, Th!nk E, Sweco and Navigant won the EU DG ENER tender on best practices and assessment of regulatory measures for cost-efficient integration of electric vehicles. Th!nk E works specifically on reaching out to stakeholders, in-depth assessment of past and ongoing projects and literature. Policy measures will be proposed to enable the EV market uptake.

Mechelen Keerdok

Mechelen Keerdok is a brownfield development close to the city centre. The city of Mechelen tendered a request for an optimal energy concept for the building with parking, offices and retail. Th!nk E worked with I.Leco and SuReal to deliver the study, where Th!nk E focused on the energy system optimisation and dynamic sizing of components and cooperation strategies.

Empower: support to storage technology selection

Part of the EMPOWER project is the development of an educational tour on storage and renewable energy. Together with Imtech, Th!nk E made the selection based on relevance and complementarity to explain different forms of energy storage, technical feasibility and potential support in case of technical or operational problems. Th!nk E further prepared the information sheets.

Surya: and EU-India proposal

The EU launched a call for collaboration between the EU and India to enable more exchange of technology and expertise on renewable energy integration and the concept of energy communities. 3E hired Th!nk E to develop the concept and partnership. 23 partners from India and Europe where selected to work on the quality & security of electricity supply in Hyderabad and on the Island of Santa Maria (Azores).

logigrid

Logigrid for VIL.be

The Flemish logistic sector is greening its energy supply as part of its targets to become sustainable and climate neutral. Concepts as energy trading, flexibility exchange and its valorisation are analysed and optimised by Th!nk E, together with Powerdale and Witteveen+Bos. The project will assess up to 5 geographically spread logistic clusters in Flanders.

BORGT

Home batteries were an emerging technology in 2018 and still are in 2020. Clarity is needed with regards to safe and optimally functioning installations. In BORGT, several partners work together on second life, LiFEPO and lead acid safety and certification guidelines. Th!nk E coordinates the project and the set-up of a lead-acid and LiFePO4 set-up.

Smart Cities Information System

The Smart Cities Information System is a contract for DG ENER in which a group of European entities supports city transition projects. Th!nk E is active in several engagement and outreaching activities and delivered a number of booklets explaining complex technologies and concepts, providing in-depth insights and summarising lessons learned from previous and ongoing implementations.
