ABOUT THE PROJECT
The project was originally planned to engage young people to be green agents for a green society by affecting their local civilian population.
But because of the severe situation in Ukraine, the original project purpose is not currently relevant. Instead, the project has been revised so the activities in the project deals with the development of proposals and assistance that can directly help people in Ukraine with a immediate problem, namely getting energy for heating.
With the project, the project partners want to help the Ukrainians in their current difficult situation focus on a specific problem; continue to be able to supply heat and at the same time do more heating sustainable.
Original aim of the project
The Change Agents for a Green Society aims to:
- Increase awareness in Ukraine on alternatives to the current fossil-fuel based heating that is dominant in Ukraine, and how district heating can be an important part of the transition, based on Danish experiences.
- Develop two -three pre-feasibility studies on how Ukraine district heating systems can be converted to renewable energy and increase energy efficiency.
- Engage with local actors on the realization of the transition of district heating to renewable energy
- Prepare the realization of renewable energy and energy efficiency in district heating.
- Initiate a resource library for transition to renewable energy of district heating and energy savings in district heating.
- An event and public outreach in Denmark about the situation in Ukraine and the value of Danish–Ukraine partnerships on all levels.
