12 partners from 7 EU and 3 non-EU countries within Danube Indeet project will facilitate the expansion and implementation of renewable energy in the Danube region. Renewable energy expansion requires extension of the electricity grid, which often cannot be carried out at the same pace. Thus, the fluctuating electricity needs to be stored and utilised outside the electric grid to a certain extent. Danube Indeet tackles these issues by providing an integrated concept considering both the energy and transport systems in the Danube region. A viable way is the intelligent integration of electric vehicles as mobile storage solutions, commonly refered to as "vehicle-to-grid", and electrolysis for green hydrogen production.The integration of both concepts can support the expansion of renewable energy application, produced and consumed locally, which supports energy security and independence, while also reducing GHG emissions in the energy sector. However, the implementation requires extensive analyses and modelling to ensure that the concept is economically viable, legally secure, efficient and sustainable in the long run. Danube Indeet will conduct the needed analyses and provide a modelling tool that supports municipalities and cities in shifting their energy and transport systems from fossil to renewable resources.

Develop and implement an integrated and decentralised concept for establishing transnational, sustainable and cross-sectoral transport and energy systems based on renewable energy in the Danube Region, considering regional characteristics, economic peculiarities, cultural predispositions and opportunities of transnational cooperation.

• Develop and test in six pilot areas a novel model for decision-support in investment and operation of integrated e-mobility and hydrogen production in a local community under specified infrastructure and market conditions and mobility needs
• Elaborate a joint strategy to unlock the potential of e-mobility and green hydrogen integration via policy and green infrastructure set-up recommendations, business cases and best practice examples
• Support the uptake of the Indeet model and the strategy via acceptance enhancement, targeted networking and tailored capacity building measures
