FOCUS
INITIATIVES for the development and improvement
of the use of ENERGY in RURAL AREAS
Thematic focus
What? Innovation awareness raising on energy using knowledge economy
Where? In rural areas of the Valencia Region (Inland zone!!)
To Whom? Citizens, scholars, housewives, agriculture, micro/SMEs, majors
Why? All innovations in technology have to be known in rural areas to be implemented in their daily environment, to augment energy sustainability in rural areas
Through which channel? Local Development Agents network
How? Inform about possible alternatives for production and best use of energy (renewables, energy efficiency, good practices, etc.)

– 20% reduction CO2 emissions, 20% Increase efficiency, 20% renewables
• Possibility to get funds to develop this initiatives in rural areas• Transferibility to other regions of the Knowing Project and EU
