Description of Project:
|
The overall objective is to contribute to the further energy reforms in Montenegro in order to comply with obligations from the energy acquis. It will develop and enforce relevant regulatory framework in order to increase sustainable energy use, with focus on transport sector.
The project develops studies analyzing and defining potential for use of renewable energy sources and energy efficiency measures in transport sector, finalized legislation and regulatory framework for sustainable energy use in transport, an action plan defining measures and projects to be realized in order to help development of use of renewable energy sources and energy efficiency measures in transport sector, improved monitoring of production of biofuels and use of energy in transport sector in accordance with EU energy policy and implementation of top priority measures.
Additionally, it will develop a study defining economic and strategic solutions for fulfilling the obligation of 90-day crude-oil reserves, a study defining the potential and examples of use of high-efficient cogeneration, action plan for development of use of high-efficient cogeneration and advising on changes in EU energy policy in order to increase sustainability and security of overall energy sector in Montenegro.
Finally, it provides targeted capacity building and training for governmental staff on national and local level and awareness raising campaign in order to EU energy policy and good practice, as well as explain current situation in Montenegro and benefits and opportunities Montenegro can have through development of sustainable energy sector.
