Description:
The general objective of the project is to identify and assess the challenges, opportunities and impacts related to the synergistic potentials of end-of-life mine sites and coalfired power plants (and related infrastructure), along with closely related neighbouring industries. It will take advantage of their joint potential to stimulate new economic activities, developing jobs and economic value especially in relation to Coal Regions in Transition, and supporting the update and re-adoption of territorial just transition plans. This goal will be achieved by means of a prospective analysis, enabling to explore business models that rely on renewable energy, contribute to the circular economy or scale energy storage, guaranteeing a sustainable and combined use of assets otherwise overlooked in the high-velocity environments of phasing out processes.
