We invite you to the seminar “Shaping Regional Energy Futures: From Renewables to Climate Neutrality”

We invite you to the seminar “Shaping Regional Energy Futures: From Renewables to Climate Neutrality” on October 8 from 10:00 to 17:00 at the Riga Technical University (RTU) auditorium center “Domus Auditorialis” on the 2nd floor, Zunda krastmala 8, Riga. How to approach climate neutrality step by step and smartly integrate renewable resources? In the seminar, we will look for answers by delving into the synergies of wind and hydrogen, as well as getting to know best practice examples from the Baltic Sea region and discussing the latest policy trends. We will offer an insight into innovative technologies, current events.

Apply for the lifelong learning study module “Integrated Wind Energy Systems and Hydrogen”

Energy efficiency is currently undergoing significant changes, driven both by the path toward climate neutrality and the increasing presence of renewable energy sources in Latvia’s market. Wind energy is becoming an increasingly popular resource in Latvia, and questions often arise: How many wind power plants do we actually need? What capacities and sizes should be built? Where will we store surplus renewable electricity? And why should we consider hydrogen production? It’s time to clarify these uncertainties. The Institute of Energy Systems and Environment at Riga Technical University (RTU VASSI) has developed a lifelong learning study module titled “Integrated Wind Energy Systems and Hydrogen.”.

We are starting to implement a project within the framework of the National Research Program “Decision-making support system for achieving climate neutrality goals”

The Institute of Energy Systems and Environment of Riga Technical University, in cooperation with the University of Latvia, Vidzeme University of Applied Sciences, and Riga Stradins University, has launched the project “Climate Neutrality Decision Models in Action” of the National Research Programme “Decision-makins Support System for Achieving Climate Neutrality Goals”, which was launched at the project kick-off meeting on 14 March. The aim of the project is to create a single national decision support tool for achieving Latvia’s climate neutrality goal. The main focus will be on modelling the impact of policy decisions in various sectors – energy, industrial processes, agriculture,.

Webinar “Role of waste heat in future energy systems” | 23.01. | 10.30-12.30

We invite you to participate in a webinar on the integration of waste heat flow into central heating systems, also referred to as excess or surplus heat. This process is considered a significant step towards climate neutrality, providing substantial savings in primary energy. However, to broaden the utilization of this waste heat flow, it is essential to adhere to specific economic and technical conditions. The seminar will provide insights into the role of waste heat in future smart energy systems, with a particular focus on Latvia, Estonia, and Norway. The presentation will cover key findings from both national and regional.
