The APPROVE project tackled the obstacles to the development of renewable energy sources (RES) through awareness raising, capacity building and stakeholder participation.

Obstacles such as social opposition and the lack of specific skills of proponents and public officials are present to some extent for all RES (bioenergy, solar, wind, hydroelectric). APPROVE took all of them into consideration, with a particular focus on bioenergy, which is of particular interest to all four territorial partners (the regions of Lapland, Epirus, Normandy and the Energy Agency of Castile and León), also developing synergies with the Smart Specialization Bioenergy Partnership.

Poliedra participated as advisory partner and communication manager.
