Take part and use the AURORA Energy Tracker today, available for iOS, Android and on the Web.
AURORA is demonstrating how people can make a difference through the choices they make, reducing 13-20% of all greenhouse gas emissions linked to residential energy use and 13% linked to transport choices. In addition, the project will empower people to take ownership of new community solar energy projects.
AURORA will show at least 7,000 citizens how they can make a difference through the choices they make, to reduce the emissions they are responsible for.
By crowdfunding local solar energy plants, with shares as low as €20, each participating citizen can become an active “prosumer” (someone who both consumes and produces energy). In the long run, this will help democratise the governance of the community and its energy systems.
Participants will act as citizen researchers by recording their monthly energy consumption on a user-friendly mobile app. They will receive personalised recommendations to improve their energy consumption habits and reduce their carbon footprint.
Five local energy communities have been established in different locations across Europe:
Since 2007, MatchPoints has been the annual flagship conference of Aarhus University, bringing together researchers, journalists, politicians, business leaders and engaged citizens to discuss the most pressing issues of the day. This year, the conference will tackle climate action beyond neutrality, emphasizing innovative strategies for restoring planetary health. Marta Victoria, project lead of Project AURORA at Aarhus University, will be giving a talk on the outcome from her research and the project.
The 11th Slovenian Photovoltaic Conference will present the latest developments in the field of photovoltaics and the areas where photovoltaics have a strong impact. The AURORA project will also present its achievements over the last three and a half years.
This workshop will explore how educational establishments could become key drivers in the energy transition. It will explore how they can participate in community energy
