Arcos de Valdevez
Firstly, the project is about collecting aerial image data for calculation of biomass potential, considering factors such as susceptible areas, vegetation species, fauna and history of forest fires. The idea is to obtain spectral data of the municipality biome and process RGB (Red, Green, and Blue colour composites) images to calculate the vegetation index. Then, they will make a sampling network in various parts of the municipality, and thus complement with concrete results the measurement of biomass through laboratory analysis. With the combination of aerial image data and laboratory analyses, a map will be created to easily assess the most appropriate locations to make the collection of biomass, as well as a database with all the values measured. They will carry out a viability study for the implementation of a biomass central and its energy efficiency, considering the quantities estimated to be available as fuel in the municipality and other close biomass providers.

The combination of the interventions includes the insulation of the building envelope (external walls, roof and windows with double glazes), the installation of heat pumps for the coverage of heating and cooling demand, the installation of energy-efficient lighting systems and the production of renewable energy from photovoltaics for self-consumption.
Moreover, electric chargers (50 units) will be installed fostering the deployment of electric vehicles (20 light and 20 heavy-duty municipal vehicles and 1,000 passenger vehicles). The planned investments will ensure the cost-benefit achievement of the climate targets.

The proposed system consists of a hydrogen production unit combined with a PV (800 kW) unit (local and virtual net metering). The hydrogen (consumed directly or stored in a pressurized tank) will be produced by an electrolyser fed solely by PV electricity. The system will be connected with one H₂ refuelling station, equipped with Fuel Cells and a Hydrogen (FCH) storage system to provide stability in supply. Four such systems will be deployed (one in each municipality).
The produced H₂ in the refuelling stations will be fed into the new FCH municipal fleet (sweepers, bikes, mini-buses, rubbish trucks, etc.), as well as the private vehicles with FCH technology. The new FCH municipal vehicles will cover both the authority's and the citizens' mobility and transportation needs. The private FCH vehicles are also a market segment targeted by the stations for refuelling services. One FCH train is also expected to be deployed by Agioi Anargyroi-Kamatero municipality, for intra-municipal mobility needs.

The investment concept focuses on the energy upgrade of buildings and public lighting, the installation of building-scale renewables as well as the electrification of the municipal fleet.
The following interventions will be considered. In buildings, there will be thermal insulation of the envelope of the buildings (walls, roof, windows) and the energy upgrade of HVAC systems and lighting systems. Overall, there will be the installation of building-integrated renewables to meet the remaining energy demand with non-fossil fuel energy. They also plan the electrification of the municipal fleet; an upgrade of public lighting from conventional lamps to LEDs and the development of local "Green" Recycle Corners in each district across the entire municipal geographical boundaries.

The project for the Communities in Troodos includes the following measures, all aligned with the EIB energy lending policy. There will be a plan to unlock the potential of Energy Efficiency for public buildings including community centres, universities, schools, elderly care centres and sports centres.
There are plans to decarbonise Energy Supply using solar PV and/or micro hydro, green hydrogen production and storage. The council wishes to support innovative technologies and new types of energy infrastructure (solar integrated with electric vehicle charging, micro hydro with electric charging, battery storage/demand response, decentralised energy distribution). Lastly, there are plans to secure the enabling infrastructure through distributed energy, integration with renewables and the decarbonisation of heat in public buildings.
