SDG 7 - Affordable and Clean Energy

Nova University Lisbon actively contributes to tackle the SDG 7 collaborating at a European level to accelerate the transition to a zero-carbon, climate-resilient society. NOVA is also upgrading its facilities to meet energy efficient standards, while promoting good practices in consumption.

HIGHLIGHTS

• Study developed by the NOVA School of Science and Technology and the University of York designs solution to generalize the use of solar energy
• Clim2Power is a research project that creates a bridge between complex scientific model-based knowledge and targeted, usable information for end users, to support both private and public decision making, including market-based water-energy service providers. It will build a EU wide web based Climate Service addressing the impact of climate on hydro, wind, and solar power operation, electricity, heat and cooling demand, and the whole power system, addressed at a seasonal and long-term timescales.
