EERES4WATER
Promoting Energy-water Nexus resource efficiency through Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency
The EERES4WATER project aims to optimize the energy management of the integral water cycle. Technological Corporation of Andalusia (CTA) leads this project, which also includes 11 research centres and technology companies from five Atlantic countries (Spain, Portugal, France, the UK and Ireland).
This Atlantic cooperation project intends to implement technological innovations and articulate common policies -at institutional, technical and social levels- to increase energy efficiency and the use of renewable sources in processes and resources related to the integral water cycle, through the involvement of the public administration, universities, research centres, SMEs and business associations from the participating regions and beyond.
EERES4WATER has a budget of 3,1 million euros, funded with 2,3 million euros by the European Union through the Interreg Atlantic Area Programme, which supports transnational cooperation projects in 36 Atlantic regions for their development and sustainable growth. These regions share similar problems regarding the high energy-water interdependency, requiring a specific political framework aligned with European directives and joint actions on technological advances.
