Catalonia plans "independence from rainwater" by 2040
It will be achieved through seawater desalination plants
All 7 local government units on the island are included in the project
The northern Adriatic island of Krk aims to become the first energy-independent and CO2-neutral island in the Mediterranean. This was decided during the 7th Krk Energy Conference. The conference was held as part of the “Krk – Energy-independent and CO2-neutral Island” project which Eko Kvarner (NGO) will implement in cooperation with the European Asbestos Risk Association from Trieste, Italy and the Town of Krk, with the support of the German Environment, Nature Conservation, and Nuclear Safety Ministry’s European Climate Initiative.
During the conference participants discussed how to design and install a small photovoltaic power station, how to conceive and optimise a management system for numerous energy sources, as well as the methodology for the smart integration of renewables. And last but not least the economic and health aspects of installing solar panels. One of the goals of the “Krk – Energy-independent and CO2-neutral Island” project is the installation of 250 to 500 solar panels of up to 5 kW, totalling up to 1 MW in power, by the end of 2021.
All 7 local government units on the island are included in the project, the objective being to encourage its energy transition towards renewables. The island already has an energy cooperative, a cadastre of roofs and several solar power plants, the biggest one being on the Treskavac landfill.
