Working together for a green, competitive and inclusive Europe
Objectives
The ”GREEN HEAT – towards collaborative local decarbonization” project (acronym GREENHEAT) benefits from a € 1 319 998 grant from Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway through the EEA Grants. The aim of the project is to contribute to elimination of fossil fuelled boilers in Poland and presenting the feasible scenarios to decarbonise energy systems in Polish households.
Specific objectives:
to conduct the selected Pilot Case, in a chosen community in the city of Legionowo, and develop tailored business model with specific technology recommendations and an indication of potential investors and sources of financing to support the elimination of fossil fuelled boilers;
to develop the methodology for further future implementation based on procedure during Pilot Bussines Case analysis.
Work Packages
Tasks realized within the GREENHEAT project are grouped into 4 thematic work packages (WP):
The project approaches the problem in an interdisciplinary way, as change of energy system is treated as a potential vehicle for a social change towards sustainability transitions and development of new business models in energy sector.

About EEA Grants
The EEA Grants represent the contribution of Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norwaytowards a green, competitive and inclusive Europe.
There are two overall objectives: reduction of economic and social disparities in Europe, and to strengthen bilateral relations between the donor countries and 15 EU countries in Central and Southern Europe and the Baltics.
The three donor countries cooperate closely with the EU through the Agreement on the European Economic Area (EEA). The donors have provided €3.3 billion through consecutive grant schemes between 1994 and 2014. For the period 2014-2021, the EEA Grants amount to €1.55 billion.
The priorities for this period are:
Innovation, Research, Education and Competitiveness
Social Inclusion, Youth Employment and Poverty Reduction
Environment, Energy, Climate Change and Low Carbon Economy
Culture, Civil Society, Good Governance and Fundamental Rights
Justice and Home Affairs
The EEA Grants are jointly financed by Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway, whose contributions are based on their GDP. Eligibility for the Grants mirror the criteria set for the EU Cohesion Fund aimed at member countries where the Gross National Income (GNI) per inhabitant is less than 90% of the EU average.
