MOZEES
Norwegian Research Centre on Zero-Emission Energy Systems for Transport
Norway has access to vast amounts of renewable power, some of which can be used to produce electricity and hydrogen for transport. Ambitious national and regional climate policies on low and zero-emission transport are currently being implemented, including economic support for the introduction of battery and hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles. MoZEES will focus on battery and hydrogen value chains, systems, and applications where Norway can take a leading position in the future.

Syn.ikia
Sustainable plus energy neighbourhoods
The syn.ikia project involves 13 partners from six countries and aims at enabling the development of sustainable plus energy neighbourhoods in different climates, contexts and markets in Europe. Four real-life plus-energy demo projects tailored to four different climatic zones will be developed, analysed, optimized and monitored within the duration of the project. Syn.ikia’s concept relies on the interplay between novel technologies at the neighbourhood scale, energy efficiency of the buildings, energy flexibility, good architectural and spatial qualities, sustainable behaviour, and citizen engagement.

ChiNoZEN
Key technologies and demonstration of combined cooling, heating and power generation for low-carbon neighbourhoods/buildings with clean energy
The ChiNoZEN project is a collaborative project between Norway and China. Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Norwegian University of Science and Technology coordinate the project. The main mission of the ChiNoZEN project is to find optimal cooling, heating and power generation technologies based on renewable energy, and to increase the understanding of how building and neighbourhood energy flexibility can be used to increase the renewable energy use.
