The 19 charging points are located in the parking lot of ITER´s central building and have a total capacity of recharge of 166 kW, allowing three of them the quick…
ITER will host a pilot plant in its facilities for the demonstration and implementation of hydrogen technology on the island. Representatives from 9 of the 10 project partners arrived in Edinburgh on 27th June for a two day meeting of the SEAFUEL project – an initiative funded by the Interreg Atlantic Area Programme through the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). The project has a budget of €3,5 million over 36months and seeks to use the renewable resources across the Atlantic Area to power the local transport fleet and support the shift towards a low-carbon economy. The project, which kicked off…
The official kick-off meeting of the SEAFUEL project was held in Galway, Ireland, on January 25th and 26th 2018. With a total budget of 3,497,632,98€ and for 3 years, the SEAFUEL project aims to use the renewable resources across the Atlantic Area to power the local transport fleet and support the shift towards a low-carbon economy. The project will use the expertise and infrastructure of the partners in renewable energy, namely solar, wind and marine, to demonstrate the viability of hydrogen as a fuel to be used by the local transport authorities. Among the first activities of the project was…
With these two projects, ITER seeks to promote sustainable tourism through energy efficiency, renewable energy and ICT.
