💡Um RECET:
RECET (Rural Europe for the Clean Energy Transition) er samstarfsverkefni fimm landa og tuga sveitarfélaga um alla Evrópu, með Ísland í fararbroddi. Verkefnið miðar að því að efla getu sveitarfélaga í dreifðum byggðum í Evrópu og atvinnulífsins til að takast á við orkuskipti og smíða orkuskiptaáætlanir fyrir svæðin. RECET er styrkt af LIFE styrktaráætlun Evrópusambandsins sem leggur áherslu á umhverfis- og loftslagsmál.
💡Um Net Zero Islands Network:
Net Zero Islands Network gegnir lykilhlutverki í þróun grænna og sjálfbærra orkulausna fyrir eyjar og afskekkt svæði. Markmið netsins er meðal annars að auðvelda miðlun þekkingar milli eyja og afskekktra svæða, skapa fleiri atvinnutækifæri og kanna möguleika á kolefnisneikvæðum lausnum. Norræna orkurannsóknarstofnunin (Nordic Energy Research) hefur umsjón með verkefninu.
