The core aim of RISEnergy lies in its efforts to establish a comprehensive network of research infrastructures, notably providing free access to academic and industry researchers seeking to strengthen their innovative capacities across ten renewable energy target areas. Given its wide technological reach, RISEnergy is the first research infrastructure project of this dimension in Europe.
To foster a deeper understanding of RISEnergy, the project is undertaking a short campaign to shed light on the importance of each renewable energy technology area, beginning with photovoltaics (PV).
Solar photovoltaics are at the centre of Europe’s clean energy transition. To achieve climate neutrality by 2050, global PV capacity needs to surge from 2 terawatts (TW) to 70 TW. Crucially, this means that sustainable and circular manufacturing processes must be adopted to enable the production of billions of PV modules in the coming decades.
”Progress depends on collaboration and access to the right tools. RISEnergy plays a key role by opening the doors to advanced infrastructures that help researchers turn ideas into real-world impact.” – RISEnergy PV Area Leader, Ivan Gordon (Department Director, IMOMEC).
In this regard, RISEnergy connects researchers with cutting-edge photovoltaic infrastructures across Europe and beyond. By providing easy access to state-of-the-art facilities, it supports collaborative research that promotes more sustainable PV manufacturing processes and innovative solutions.
