Green energy system and new sector integration value chains – GENESIS

In GENESIS- project the main goal is to develop sustainable future for energy sector with new, international level, energy technology research laboratory.

Research infrastructure strengthens regional energy technology research possibilities

New research infrastructure for energy technology

In GENESIS- project the main goal is to develop sustainable future for energy sector. One of the main things is to create new business opportunities, investments and jobs for the region. Innovations developed in the project are supporting clean energy production, storage and usage and also sector integration. In the investment part of this project there is a unique research and pilot environment being built.

Main actions of the project

  1. Planning, building and developing the RDI and testing environment for sustainable energy system and sector integration research and piloting

2. Integrating sustainable energy systems research with geoenergy research

3. Validating the operation of RDI environment for demonstrations

4. Clean energy and sector integration demos and simulations planning and implementation

5. Improving conditions for local businesses by making preliminary business plans for implementing sector integration and executing technology piloting.

6. Improve green transition investments’, especially for hydrogen and solar power, possibilities to be located in Kymenlaakso region.

Kouvola Innovation Oy is carrying out a part project, which is focusing on actions 5 ja 6.
