South East Energy Agency represented by CEO, Paddy Phelan, recently participated in the Repower Industries 7th Interregional Project Event in Slovenia.

The event brought together European partners and stakeholders to explore energy self-sufficiency in industry, discuss emerging energy technologies, and share best practices in areas such as cogeneration, district heating, and biomass gasification.

A key highlight was a study visit to the TRIGA Reactor Centre Brinje.

Collaboration and knowledge exchange remains key to supporting sustainable industrial energy solutions across Europe.

🌍 How can low-carbon gases help accelerate Europe's energy transition?

South East Energy Agency recently participated in the 4th Interregional Event of the UNIFHY project in Aalborg, Denmark, where partners and stakeholders explored innovative solutions including green hydrogen, biomethane, Power-to-X technologies, and carbon capture systems.

The event featured technical visits to GrønGas, a pioneering renewable gas facility, and Aalborg Portland Cement, where large-scale carbon capture technologies are helping decarbonise industrial processes.

The knowledge gained through UNIFHY will help inform regional discussions and future policy development around renewable and low-carbon fuels in Ireland.
