Energy Cooperation Platform

The vision of R-ACES is to support high-potential industrial parks and clusters to become ecoregions that reduce their CO2 emissions by at least 10%.
They do so by exchanging surplus energy, making extensive use of renewables, and bringing everything together with so-called smart energy management systems.

Ecoregions

R-ACES creates ecoregions where multiple stakeholders engage in energy cooperation by exchanging heat/cold streams, investing in renewable energy solutions, or managing energy streams with the use of the R-ACES toolbox that is aimed at reducing CO2 emissions by at least 10%.

To establish energy cooperation projects, multiple organisations cooperate. We call this an ecoregion. Such regions consist of an industrial park or business park linked to its surroundings by energy cooperation activities. Ecoregions are broader than the industrial/ business clusters at their core, which turns them into the best level to organize energy cooperation in.

3 pilot ecoregions expanding to

10 ecoregions replicating to additional

90 high-impact regions

Tools

R-ACES develops three practical tools to support the entire process of organising an ecoregion and the collaboration inside of it.

The tools incorporate existing knowledge and are conform to the needs of stakeholders in industrial clusters to help them set up energy collaboration.
