🚀 Discover how POWERBASE is advancing Low-Emission Energy Solutions for Emergency Response! ⚡🌍 Currently, emergency responders rely on diesel generators to power Emergency Shelters and Bases of Operation as the critical infrastructure is often damaged after a catastrophe. However, these diesel generators produce #CO2 and other emissions, heat, noise and vibrations, and pose safety threats for workers and sheltered people. POWERBASE is tackling this challenge by preparing the way for the procurement of innovative, low-emission mobile power solutions. 🔍 What will POWERBASE do? ✅ Describe needs and requirements along representative and relevant scenarios ✅ Analyse the latest low-emission technologies ✅ Support innovation uptake ✅ Raise awareness of POWERBASE and foster stakeholder engagement In this video, POWERBASE coordinator Alexander Rösner, Ph.D. from Federal Agency for Technical Relief explains how POWERBASE is shaping the future of emergency power solutions! 🎥👇 📺 https://lnkd.in/eFt8nVi3 MSB (Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency) Österreichisches Rotes Kreuz Ministère de l'Intérieur Ministero dell'Interno - Corpo Nazionale dei Vigili del Fuoco ASSR - Samaritan Slovakia Hungarian Maltese Charity Service Gezamenlijke Brandweer Fraunhofer INT Center for Security Studies (KEMEA) Vieira Procurement Legal Services ARTTIC Innovation #POWERBASE_EU #EmergencyResponse #SustainableEnergy #Innovation #HorizonEurope #InnovationProcurement #GreenTech #LowEmission
