Knowledge base repository

Your Centralized Source of Climate Mission Knowledge 

The Knowledge Base is designed to provide a structured, rich repository of resources for stakeholders involved in EU Climate Missions. Unlike the Project Repository, which focuses on specific projects (their goals, details, and progress), the Knowledge Base offers comprehensive resources that cover broader knowledge, best practices, and tools that stakeholders can apply across different projects. This includes guides, case studies, templates, toolkits, research publications, and learning materials, making it a go-to resource for strategic planning, project execution, and ongoing knowledge enrichment.

The SHARED Knowledge Base provides a curated collection of resources, from guides and templates to research studies and case studies. These materials are designed to help you strategize, execute, and improve your climate mission projects with practical insights and evidence-based best practices.

11 Narrative report on the complex interactions between climate and cities Toolkits and Frameworks Climate Action & Sustainability/Climate Change and Mitigation

This narrative report provides readers with key information to understand how cities react to critical climate stimuli and how solutions based on nature can enhance their resilience, by examining:
i) the main implications of climate change and extreme weather events in cities, disentangling the complex interactions between climate and urban environments with a particular focus on heat- and flood-related issues;
ii) the role that nature-based solutions may have in promoting climate adaptation and urban resilience, also showcasing real-life examples;
iii) key planning aspects and considerations that are relevant for promoting the implementation and scaling up of nature-based solutions in cities, to enable a more widespread and systematic implementation while addressing more effective and just outcomes.

12 Manual on the Tool for Optimizing Sector Coupling Hubs Green Economy & Clean Technologies/Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy

The document explains the tool for optimizing sector coupling hubs. It starts from outlining the structure of the sector coupling hubs and detailing/mathematical modelling of its main parts – gasification, electrolysis and methanation process. The models describe these parts in terms of energy and economical performance such that the optimization tool can weigh between its different parametrizations and planned operations and select the optimal ones.
Basic mathematical modelling principles on which the tool resides on are shown and explained for the full power to gas coupling hub configuration.
