Sustainable energy in Ukraine Improving energy supply system and chain thinking
Searching for companies and students with ambitious sustainable energy goals ‘Saxion University of Applied Sciences’, together with a number of Dutch businesses and Ukrainian universities, organises a master class about the sustainable energy in Ukraine. The project aims to improve system and chain thinking for parties involved in sustainable energy supply and energy efficiency projects in Ukraine. We invite as participants companies that are seeking radical sustainability-related transformations. The young employees of companies and the students of local universities follow together the course and research possible sustainable solution for a specific case. They form teams around five projects: waste to energy, biogas, energy farm, district heating system and building related energy supply. Besides the technical aspects, the alternative organizational forms, new forms of communication, and radically new business models are crucial for these sustainable initiatives. Wanted: Companies from the energy, building and agrarian sectors that want to undertake radical sustainability-related transformations Students willing to do research on concrete sustainable transformations in energy sector and graduate later on this topic
Each team consists of Dutch company representative Ukrainian companies University expert Students of local university
The master-class is carried out in three locations: Kyiv, Lutsk and Odessa. It consists of two session days (one in April and one in June). In between these two meetings the teams will work on their research. They communicate via Skype with the Dutch team members and the coordinators in order to get feedback, discuss research progress and problematic points. The master class ends with a conference where the results of research are presented and open for discussion. We will invite interested businesses, institutions and governmental officials as guests. The students will have an opportunity to carry out their graduation projects on one of the subjects studied in the project. The working languages of the master class are Ukrainian and English. The materials will be translated to Ukrainian and interpreters will accommodate the master class.

In each location, the teams will develop business cases in the following projects: Woodworking enterprise and energy efficiency opportunities: rethinking the business models that accommodate the energy efficiency measures Energy farm, remodelling the conventional set-up of a farm into the energy farm (a mixed farm concept which both produces crops and breeds cattle). Biogas, its production from manure and corn input, depending on the farms availability in the region Waste to energy, incineration of all sorts of waste (agrarian streams, process waste) to produce electricity, heating/cooling and biogas. Use of energy from waste for different purposes, among others, to fuel the district heating or for building renovation. Building related energy supply, renovation of an apartment building, by thermal isolation, HVAC-measures and use of renewable energy. TriasEnergetica concept is crucial here, meaning a 3-steps approach: start with decreasing energy demand, further use of renewable energy sources and minimization of the use of fossil as much as possible.
