Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce that the article on model solutions for the implementation of the circular economy in the water and sewage sector entitled “Circular economy model framework in the European water and wastewater sector” published in the Journal of Material Cycles and Waste Management (5-year IF 2.193) was awarded by Springer Nature in category “Water”. The ranking presents the most popular articles and book chapters published in 2020, and reflecting top research that made an impact.

The authors of the article are Dr. Marzena Smol and Dr. Eng. Michał Presiner from the Division of Biogenic Raw Materials at the Mineral and Energy Economy Research Institute, Polish Academy of Sciences and Dr. Eng. Christian Adam from the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und –prüfung – BAM) in Berlin.

The work was created as part of the project entitled “Monitoring of water and sewage management in the context of implementing the principles of the circular economy” (acronym: MonGOS) financed by the National Agency for Academic Exchange (NAWA) under the International Academic Partnership Program.

Implementation period: October 16, 2020 – April 30, 2024

Project type: International

Division: Division of Renewable Energy Sources

In October 2020, the implementation of the pre-defined Project “Capacity building of key stakeholders in the area of geothermal energy” (KeyGeothermal) began. It is funded by the European Economic Area Financial Mechanism (EEA FM) 2014-2021. It belongs to the “Environment, Energy and Climate Change” Program, the Area of ​​”Renewable Energy, Energy Efficiency and Energy Security”, bilateral cooperation

Consortium implementing the Project:

•  Mineral and Energy Economy Research Institute, Polish Academy of Sciences, Kraków (Poland) – Project promoter
• National Energy Authority (Iceland) – Project donor partner

The aim of the Project: to build the capacity of key stakeholders in Poland in the area of geothermal energy by increasing their knowledge and skills in using and managing its resources, specially for the needs of low-emission heating. The Project will also contribute to the achievement of the objectives of the EEA Program “Environment, Energy and Climate Change”.

To promote the  ENTRANCES project and develop good practices in the context of the successful and ambitious energy transition in coal and carbon-intensive regions, the researchers from the Mineral and Energy Economy Research Institute of the Polish Academy of Sciences participated in the meeting involved in the similar program funded within H2020. The meeting was on 7 December 2020. Its objective was to determine the opportunities for cooperation within the European projects implemented by Polish research teams.

Three projects implemented under the Horizon 2020 were presented at the meeting:

– ENergy TRANsitions from Coal and carbon: Effects on Societies led on the Polish side by Mineral and Energy Economy Research Institute of the Polish Academy of Sciences- The Division of Minerals and Energy Sustainable Development (Detailed information about the project and its partners can be found on the official project website https://entrancesproject.eu/).

– Tracer – Smart Strategies for the Transition in Coal Intensive Regions led on the Polish side by University of Agriculture in Krakow, Faculty of Forestry (Detailed information about the project and its partners can be found on the official project website https://tracer-h2020.eu/)

– Carbon Intensive Regions in Transition – Unravelling the Challenges of Structural Change led on the Polish side by WISEEUROPA – Warsaw Foundation Of Economic And European Studies Institute (Detailed information about the project and its partners can be found on the official project website https://coaltransitions.org/projects/cintran/)

The researchers presented the main objective of the projects, current state, and discussed the various aspects considered within the projects (e.g., social, environmental, and ecological). They also discussed their tasks executed within the projects.

In conclusion, the participants have planned a series of subsequent meetings to exchange knowledge, experience, and establish further cooperation development opportunities.

Start of the User4GeoEnergy project funded by Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway through the EEA and Norway Grants Fund for Regional Cooperation

Project: Improving the energy efficiency of geothermal energy utilisation by adjusting the user characteristics, acronym User4GeoEnergy, registration number 2018-1-0502

The project will be implemented in 2020-2023 by a consortium:

Mineral and Energy Economy Research Institute PAS, Poland – Project Leader

Slovgeoterm a.s., Slovakia – Project Partner

InnoGeo Research and Service Nonprofit Ltd, Hungary – Project Partner

National Energy Authority, Iceland – Project Partner

NORCE Norwegian Research Centre AS, Norway – Project Partner

The project User4GeoEnergy is focused on the role of heat consumers in systems for the direct utilisation of geothermal energy. The project is aimed at increasing energy efficiency, reducing air pollution caused by emissions from the use of fossil fuels in peaking units and the consortium of geothermal resources.

Total budget: 1 319 681 euro

Grant funding: 1 215 217 euro
