16.11.2020 - The Regional Council of Kainuu organised the e-MOPOLI seminar on alternative sustainable mobility opportunities.

The e-MOPOLI seminar on alternative sustainable mobility opportunities took place as planned on 16.11.2020, part of it online, part of it face-to-face. There were 32 participants, 18 online and 14 in location. The purpose of the seminar was to discuss alternative mobility approaches projects and strategies encouraging sustainability and innovation in Kainuu region.

Biogas applications, electrical mobility, hydrogen solutions, synthetic energy solutions, fuel cells storage, and research into new types of fuels were prioritised in the meeting’s agenda. It is important to remember that Kainuu is both a renewable energy provider (biogas) and an end user. Alternative mobility, therefore, is a both a compliance duty and an opportunity domain. The findings of the seminar confirmed the e-MOPOLI action plan based on a mixed mobility model for Kainuu (biogas & electricity).

They also point out as priorities adopting systematic value chain approaches and activating the battery alliance with linkages to renewable hydrogen solutions. Kainuu decision to integrate into the revised RIS3 the Green Deal strategy as a cross cutting priority, and through this to include also activities of the e-MOPOLI action plan, was introduced and positively commented by the relevant speakers.
