For the past two years, BECoop has acted as a driving force gathering other H2020 projects under the umbrella of sister projects, the group organising regular meetings to discuss ongoing activities, plan common events and writing, and more. Two high-level events (see this newsletter FOCUS ON) were co-organised, with briefings prepared to highlight key elements, and a briefing linking energy poverty and energy communities is in the pipeline. A report summarises the activities so far. Another report presents BECoop communication and dissemination strategy towards the end of the project. A report by CBS guides readers to the awareness raising actions for improving bioenergy perceptions and image, organised so far and until BECoop last months. WUELS prepared finally a report presenting the work done to organise the project capacity building programme (trainings and workshops).  
 

Co-definition of community bioenergy heating roadmaps 

BECoop provides support to communities and local key stakeholders of the four pilot areas to agree on and co-define with local communities the most promising path for the development of the BECoop RESCoops. Further work will investigate the techno-economic feasibility of the BECoop RESCoops’ vision in each of the project pilots. This report provides explanations on the following aspects, and the approaches followed: conversion of challenges and needs into a RESCoop vision, according to each pilot’s conditions and characteristics, pre-assessment of quantitative and qualitative information that will be used for the future implementation of each BECoop RESCoop’s vision, as well as co-development of roadmaps, enlisting actions and interventions both up until the end of BECoop but also towards 2030, providing a realistic and solid perspective to the project results.
