Under title "Adaptation to climate change of Macaronesian Energy Systems", ACLIEMAC pursues the search of solutions for the adaptation of the participating regions to Climate Change, by promoting their autonomy and energy independence.
The project (with code MAC2/3.5b/380) is co-financed by Interreg MAC 2014-2020 Cooperation Program, within Axis 3 "Promote adaptation to climate change and risks prevention and management".
Additionally, part of mitigation measures are aimed to promoting the exploitation of new sustainable economies (Circular, Blue and Low Carbon), proposing in the same way measures to adapt electrical infrastructures, the empowerment of distributed generation and the reduction of energy consumption of the different sectors:
- Distributed generation, self-consumption and energy storage systems.
- Circular Economy. Energy recovery of the organic fraction of waste and others.
- Blue Economy. Development of marine renewable energy as adaptation to climate change.
- Low Carbon Economy. Promotion of renewable energies and energy efficiency in the energy sectors
- Adaptation to climate change of buildings and consumers.
ACLIEMAC is aligned with the goals to be reached in 2030 horizon according to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
