Green energy for social change

Green energy for social change

Implementation period: 2014-01-01 - 2016-12-31

Type: National

Division: The Division of Strategic Research

The project is aimed at developing an innovative support model for social institutions by neutralizing (offsetting) greenhouse gas emissions, including CO2, e.g. in the form of investments in green energy. The implementation of the project has solved a number of problems related to, among other, the improvement of the energy efficiency of the economy by reducing the energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Thanks to design solutions, it is possible to limit the negative human impact on the climate and energy security of the country while increasing the level of innovation of the proposed solutions. The effect of the project is, among other things, an innovative CO2calculator, allowing various entities to identify the areas with the largest CO2 emissions (the so-called carbon footprint), to find ways to reduce emissions, and to compensate for the carbon footprint through green energy investments in prosocial institutions. Our Institute was one of the project leaders.
