Proposal summaryBackgroundsThe European agricultural machinery industries has been hit extremely hard by the crisis at a time when there is a majorchange in global demand. The sector is nevertheless part of a very competitive technologically advanced industry. Therunning crises has deepened the situation of the AMS, creating new pressures and weakening the competitiveness of thesector, particularly the SMEs.The agricultural machinery industry closely mirrors the trends in the agricultural sector. Without modern machines, thecompetitive agricultural sector with 10 million people employed would not exist. Hence a healthy EU Agricultural MachinerySector would be able not only to be itself competitive in global market but also support the EU agriculture production.

Modern machines and their optimized utilization in the field largely depends on the holistic approach on energy issues interms of energy need for machinery production, energy efficiency of production processes and energy demand for theirfunctioning. In few words, energy efficiency of the entire chain plays a crucial role in the competitiveness of a crucialsegment of EU economy.Unfortunately the AMS suffers of a dramatic decrease of efficiency in terms of Energy Efficiency in the productionprocesses. From 1990 to 2009 in Italy, and likewise in the EU-27’s, the mechanic industry sector has registered the worseperformance in energy efficiency scoring a discouraging -45% (while chemical and metal siderurgic sectors EE increasedrespectively by 38,8% e al 17,9%).This denotes a strong need of the Agricultural Machinery Sector to dramaticallyimprove its EE performance both in the production processes and regarding the production of more efficient, competitiveand environmental friendly machines. Such scenario could help farmers to reduce costs of production as well as providehigher level of environmental protection.General objective of the operation To improve energy efficiency in the Agricultural Machinery production processes, including the production ofmachines demanding less energy in the field operations and strengthen the capacity of farmers to use machinery withboth an energy efficiency and saving approach.2.

2. Work PlanSpecific objectivesThe project has the purpose to reduce the non-technological barriers (especially communication/knowledge, financialand institutional barriers) in order to reinforce the use of new and renewable energy sources in small size power plants.A greater use of renewable energy sources means a further and important contribution to achieving the target of Europeanenergy policies.The objectives of the project are defined on four different levels:Institutional levelTechnical levelMarket levelFinancial level.The strategic objective of the project is to increase the number of small size RES power plants in both EU MemberStates and other European countries by disseminating knowledge, technology awareness and best practices, as well asidentifying and proposing winner policies and incentive schemes, through the creation of an EU NETWORKActivities and expected resultsIn order to concretely support potential small size RES power plant developers the project will develop:a European WEB-network of operators will be launched and promoted 4 user-friendly business model tools for small scale RES power plants: biomass, geothermal, solar-thermal andhybrid applications for preliminary evaluation of power production and investments, 3 best practice brochures for showcasing successfully working plants, more than 20 trainings for professionals around EU, 4 study visits, 7 local workshopsa European conference will be organised in order to develop skills of target groups and key actors.The market of small size RES power plants will expand, the installed electricity power generation and RES electricityproduction will grow. The market framework conditions and the behaviour of institutional and financial actors will get morefavourable.Finally, the number of new small size RES power plants and the related investments will grow.Timetable del progetto (data di inizio, durata del progetto, suddivisione delle attività)The project will be 30 months long, and the foreseen activities are arranged in the following work packages:WP1: ManagementWP2: Assessment of framework conditionsWP3: Practical tool for potential operatorsWP4: Training for professionalsWP5: Involving new operatorsWP6: CommunicationWP7: EACI Dissemination ActivitiesThe project activities concern three major activity types: information, advice /support and implementation.

a) InformationOne of the major barriers for the diffusion of small size RES power plants is the lack of information about the existenceof systems which can exploit different local renewable energy sources for power generation, and this barrier is addressedvia work packages 2 and 6.Work package 2: “Assessment of framework conditions” will provide information on the current market development andtechnology solutions as well as information on the existing preparation level and necessities of the 3 different markettypes. NREAP (National Renewable Energy Action Plans) from the project partners countries, which strongly influence thepotential market, will also be assessed.Work package 6: “Communication” will implement a mix of communication/dissemination activities in order to promotesmall size RES power plants among the relevant target groups and key actors.b) Advice/supportOnce in possession of the right information about existing technologies, it is necessary that professionals deepen theirknowledge about these systems. The consortium intends to provide support in two directions:- Direct advice and support to potential new operators: in work package 3 “Practical tool for potential operators” 4business model tools for the preliminary evaluation of investments in small size power plants based ongeothermal, concentrated solar power, biomass and hybrid applications will be developed for potential operatorswith the aim of getting them more interested and further engaged in small size RES power plants and todemonstrate them the advantages of local RES exploitation.- Trainings will be organised for those professionals who can further promote SS RES PP to the potential finalusers, in function of the available local renewable energy sources. Work package 4 “Training for professionals”will be dedicated to the training of target organisation key staff (engineering companies, technicians, developers,energy foundations, other stakeholders) in each target country about technical, institutional and commercial issuesconcerning small size RES power plants.c) ImplementationWork package 5 “Involving new operators” will make efforts to boost the market penetration of new installations through acombination of promotional tools: a best practice brochure, launch of a European NETWORK of small size RES powerplant operators, organising national workshops and a European conference. Furthermore, a concerted action is plannedtargeting financial actors in order to propose a solution which could strengthen actually existing support schemes.3.

Proposal summaryBrief description of the operation/activities proposedIn rural areas, fossil fuel consumption is increasing and biomass heating stays at low level. Meanwhile, broadrural territories have a source of wellness not exploited: forest biomass. Forests are not managed because theyare non commercial. There is an available non expensive fuel that is not used in territories with economy gaps.The answer may be uncertainty and lack of commercial structure.Thermaforest faces these problems aiming to bring certainty, a commercial structure for biomass, and harvestinguntapped forests. The main mean is the creation of at least one supply chain in each of the participant regions.These supply chains will be based in another already existing supply chain from a region with enough expertiseand with an operating supply chain, obtaining essential information in the process. Market participants thatalready exist will be included in the project to be part of the supply chains. To set up these supply chains, theproject will:

◦ Analyse the variables that control biomass flow and the relationships between actors.◦ Assess the local availability of forest biomass, now and in the future, for a relatively large surface.◦ Establish links between the different actors of the chain◦ Guarantee a reasonable profit for all the actors◦ Put untapped forest and wood products into the market◦ Involve existing market actors to participate in the supply chains◦ Select the most appropriate conversion system to generate heat from biomass◦ Analyse operational issues: contracting issues, aspects related to finding finances and aspectsrelated to competences and human resources◦ Bring profits to town councils, boiler manufacturers, harvesting companies, forest owners, logisticscompanies and wood industries◦ Supply at least one public building in each region◦ Provide enough information to set up new actors, mainly new consumers, in the participant regionsand new chains in other areas.Supply chains will eliminate uncertainty not only by providing useful information and understanding but byworking successfully. Thermaforest will demonstrate the feasibility of heating with local biomass, stimulating newbiomass consumers. Moreover, the project will leave a structure working properly that might react fast to attendnew demand (that will appear during and after the success of the project) avoiding more uncertainty andunsatisfied demand. General objective of the operationRegions gain an important increase of renewable, local and independent energy, improvement of forestmanagement with exploitation of locally available but yet untapped forest biomass resources and enhancementof local economy. The project will show a model easily replicable because it will be tested in such a diversity ofconditions as different the eight regions of the project are.The changes trigged by Thermaforest will be important for the use of forest biomass for heating. The change isgoing from no or few biomass heating to regular consumption, from no business models in biomass to a suit ofbusiness working out, from wish to reality. Thermaforest is somehow a catalyst which effect will expand quickly.Thermaforest will carry out a biomass products assessment of untapped forests (and wood products) on a widezone. 400.000 ha will be assessed, 16.000 kton/year of untapped forest biomass will become available in asustainable way, and 8.000 kton/year will be transformable in biofuel.At least two business models will be defined and characterised (they will be able to provide specific solutions) inorder to be used in supply chains. These models will consider that the forest owner and the biomass consumermay be the same. Integration of steps and with other supply chains will be a reference.Eight (one per territory) oversized supply chains will be designed using specific solutions (technical, logistics,economical, social,..) previously found. These chains will supply mainly public buildings generating at least17.000 MWh in the last year of Thermaforest.The information gathered and developed during the project will be fully available for training. Training workshopswill be organized in each participating countries: at least 32 workshops with at least 8 public administrators perworkshop.6.

Particularly with the use of the Sustainable Dance Floor(www.sustainabledanceclub.com/) will be organized a huge musical event in each selected city (joiningthe Covenant of Mayors, SEE Sustainable Energy Europe, ManagEnergy, Alleanza nelle Alpi), thanks tothe cooperation with an international artist (to be defined) (cfr IEE Energy Union www.energyunion.eu).The vessels in the selected cities will be fulfilled with promotional events of marks such as Freitag, TheNorth Face, Patagonia, Benetton, BMX, etc. partners of the project. The concept for promotional activitieswill be based on the winning formula of the Milan Fashion Week, which recovers and regenerate isolatedand slummy part of the city fulfilling them with innovative and futuristic products. All the activities will becertified and compensate thanks to the collaboration with AzzeroCO2. General objective of the operationThe principal aim of the project is the organization of the E-motion tour that will lead to the spreading ofsustainable mobility, looking forward with particular interest to the technologies of electrical, hybrid andbio-methane based mobility. The mobility technologies are set in a contest of development and spreadingof renewable sources and of intelligent use of the resources ( waste ), demonstrating how those threepriority are strictly connected together. The tour will be based on the positive experience had with thecampaign ‘Corrente in Movimento’ realized in Italy during 2011 and 2012.2.

Proposal summaryIntegrated initiatives 10.4.2 (Local energy leadership)Capacity building for national and/or regional town planning associationsLight happiness<strong>Project</strong> LeaderBrief description of the operation/activities proposedA very large part of public spending of European governments goes to the lighting of public space. Light technology hasdeveloped towards innovative energy-saving technology. However, reduction of energy cost of public lighting, is not onlyabout retro-fitting, but about innovative ways to improve the experience of public space during the night.Local governments and regional town planning associations lack the knowledge of planning urban space by usinginnovative technology or – better – developing new concepts for a ‘happy’ light experience in cities and towns.The project aims at energy saving in public lighting by introducing improved concepts to increase effectiveness (how to

each a ‘happy’ experience of light in public space) and efficiency (what are the best technologies to enlighten publicspace).It is about developing, testing and applying new concepts for energy saving in public lighting, with central attention forsafety, well-being, perception and interaction with users. This must lead to capacity building on public lighting for regionaltown planning associations and regional research centres.During the project, innovative technology will be matched with user needs in the context of well-chosen public spaces ofLiving Labs (e.g. school, business parc, entrance of public building, …) in participating regions. This process will make itpossible to create new concepts and products, that improve the experience of light (effective public lighting) and make itpossible to save energy in a public area (efficient public lighting). Specific target groups will be involved in the designprocess. From the start until the end of the project, zero-measurement and constant e-monitoring of the light infrastructurewill be combined with state of the art research on light-happiness. During the project, extensive know-ledge exchangebetween participating regions will be organised, for example by rotating researchers between the different regions.Lessons learned from these experiments on light happiness, will be valorised by manuals for governments, designers,companies, … New developed concepts and products should be the outcome of this experiences. Moreover, trainingsessions for different users and manuals and guidelines must dissiminate the knowledge in other EU regions.General objective of the operationDevelop new approaches on the lighting of public space by combining effectiveness & efficiency.14.
