This report is intended to collect, present, and evaluate the various solutions applied in individual operational pilots for their (upscaling and transnational transfer) potential, in terms of opportunities and barriers, over the short and long(er)-term. This is done by identifying the main characteristics of the solutions and sites and the relevant influencing factors at different local (dimension) contexts.The analysis provides insights in barriers but also opportunities and conditions for success across four main dimensions that make up the local context landscape. We consider two main roll-out scenarios:1. Upscaling within the boundaries of the country where the operational pilot (OP) took place2. Transnational Transfer relates to the potential for transferring a (V4)ES solution to any of the other three (project) countriesThere are several aspects within the four main dimensions that are cross-cutting for all four countries, either because EU legislation lies at its roots, or because market conditions are fairly similar for certain influencing factors in those dimension.Ultimately, both Smart Charging and V2X market are still in their relevant infancies. The solutions applied in various SEEV4-City pilots are relatively straightforward and simple in ‘smartness’. This helps the potential for adoption but may not always be the optimal solution yet. The Peak shaving or load/demand shifting solutions are viable options to reduce costs for different stakeholders in the (electricity) supply chain. The market is likely to mature and become much smarter in coming 5 – 10 years. This also includes the evolvement (or spin-offs) of the solutions applied in SEEV4-_City as well. At least in the coming (approximately) 5 years Smart Charging appears to have the better financial business case and potential for large scale roll-out with less (impactful) bottlenecks, but looking at longer term V2X holds its potential to play a significant role in the energy transition.A common denominator as primary barriers relates to existing regulation, standards readiness and limited market availability of either hardware or service offerings.

The project BioP2M came to a close in June 2019 after a consortium of stakeholders in the field of energy transition worked together to research the diverse role of Methane. In this report the results are presented and future plans are discussed.

Het lectoraat Energietransitie van EnTranCe, het Centre of Expertise Energyvan de Hanzehogeschool Groningen, richt zich op de systeemverandering dienodig is om de Energietransitie vorm te geven. Een systeemverandering, wantde energietransitie is meer dan het vervangen van centrales door windmolens enzonnepanelen. Het vraagt, naast technologische veranderingen, ook veranderingen binnen het sociaal-economische stelsel.Onze maatschappij is verslaafd aan energie en aan het gegeven dat het altijdonbeperkt beschikbaar is. Willen wij onze standaard van leven kunnen handhaven, dan moeten we bereid zijn om zaken aan te passen. Na de tweede wereldoorlog heeft onze energievoorziening zich sterk gecentraliseerd ontwikkeld, met grote partijen en infrastructuur (macro) die daar de regie op hebben. De groeiende wens vanuit de samenleving om zelf keuzes te kunnen maken in het gebied dat mensen zelf kunnen beïnvloeden (micro) zorgt voor een sterke ‘bottom up’ beweging rondom verduurzaming. In onze visie zullen de belangrijkste doorbraken rond de transitie nodig zijn daar waar de macro- en micro ontwikkelingen elkaar raken: het meso niveau. Hier is het dat het transitieproces zich het sterkst zal manifesteren. De onderzoekslijn ‘De rol van waterstof binnen de energietransitie’ binnen dit lectoraat richt zich dan ook op mogelijke productie en toepassingen van duurzame waterstof op dit mesoniveau. Het niveau van een dorp, een wijk , een blok huizen of een bedrijf. Ook hier kijken we naar de verandering van het gehele systeem: optechnologieniveau, de integratie met het macrosysteem, de mens, economie ende juridische praktijk. Samenwerking met andere lectoraten is dan ook van grootbelang.

Green Hydra main scope is to improve policies from 10 regions of different types and levels - national, regional or local - to establish support initiatives and measures for opening the access of SMEs to green H2 development projects, from research programmes to development strategies, awareness-raising schemes, and pilot investments especially focused on involvement of SMEs across the whole hydrogen value chain, including R&D, engineering, manufacturing, consultancy, human resources upskilling and design.The specifc objectives are:- probing the conditions for using green H2 in the key sectors involving SMEs- identifying the potential key factors to activate the involvement of SMEs around the green H2 value chain- supporting for the creation of a production chain involving SMEs- developing new skills, knowledge and communication for green H2 for SMEs- easing SMEs access to fi nance in the fi eld of green H2- upscaling innovations for SMEs related to green H2 products and services
