Secure Energy

Making today's pilot projects in renewable energy tomorrow's mainstream projects is one of the targets with the SECURE project that recently started. The European Intelligent Energy project SECURE led by Malmö does also include the cities of Tallinn, Hilleröd and Dublin together with private partners. The SECURE project is focusing on creating long term sustainable energy action plans for the participating communities.

Knowledge gathered in the cities will be spread not only to other cities but also to citizens through for example climate awareness raising campaigns.

One of the concepts that will be explored in SECURE is the carbon dioxide neutral company strategy. By offering the companies guidance and calculation of their greenhouse gas emissions the companies will improve their energy efficiency and compensate for the emissions that are impossible to avoid. Another part of the project that runs until 2007 is to spread knowledge from successful renewable energy and energy efficient projects in Europe.

To reach the sustainable development within the energy perspective SECURE strives to engage the inhabitants of European cities and increase their knowledge on energy use and climate change. The private partners in SECURE are CODEMA, CENERGIA, IVL and Respect Europe.
