Lifecycle of New Energy Sources (LiNES)

The LiNES project aims to enhance the application potential of its partners. The focus is on strengthening the ability to generate and subsequently utilize R&D results effectively in practice, with a bidirectional approach. The objectives will be achieved through: (1) Deepening collaboration between the commercial partner ORGREZ and research organizations (ROs). (2) Establishing new collaborations with the application sector based on achieved results. (3) Conducting applied research among project partners through planned scientific activities. (4) Preparing jointly developed project proposals. (5) Involving representatives from the application sector in education. The scientific objective is to evaluate new energy sources (NES) concerning their socioeconomic impacts on society, including their effects on health and safety throughout the NES life cycle. The project investigates NES at multiple levels. Given its complexity, potential benefits, and the multidisciplinary nature of the research agenda, this endeavor requires not only the collaboration of all leading research institutions involved in the project but also cross-sector cooperation with partners established in the energy market and state security entities (e.g., Fire Rescue Services). The study of potential risks and impacts of modern energy systems on the environment, human health, and society is essential for ensuring the responsible use and sustainable expansion of promising energy solutions, particularly in the medium- and long-term horizons. Furthermore, the project will optimize the use of new energy sources and energy storage systems, addressing not only energy production and storage but also evaluating investment and operational costs during their operational phase and after decommissioning.
