PROMETHEUS RI aims to be a national and European reference point in the fields of clean energy and green transport. The uniqueness of the infrastructure and the inherent ability to offer a high level of applied research will attract the interest of academic organizations and companies on an international level.
PROMETHEUS will utilize the existing facilities of the partners as a starting point and will add a number of upgraded facilities / units to create a complete innovative platform unique on a national level and among a few internationally. The proposed infrastructure will assist research locally, nationally and internationally through activities that will ensure its functionality, offering:
(i) networking capabilities
(ii) possibilities for evaluating / comparing different fuel technologies, material processes and their applications
(iii) ability to integrate specific technologies into integrated energy management systems
(iv) technologies based on Life Cycle Analysis and Impact Analysis
(v) a solid ground for the definition in the future of the most efficient renewable energy sources / processes.
The plan for the utilization of the results that will come from the activities of PROMETHEUS RI includes actions for their potential evolution into economically and technically viable solutions. The organizations involved are already members of important networks both nationally (eg CHORUS Energy Enterprise Cluster) and internationally (eg EU SOLARIS, ECCSEL, etc.). Therefore, the proposed integrated infrastructure will be directly integrated into such networks.
The utilization of the outcomes that will result from the activities of the RI will lead to measurable regional and national benefits, in terms of the currently limited, promotion of Greece in the relevant sectors, but also of the creation of growth in the form of new innovative spin-offs and finally new jobs.
The way in which the outcomes will be usable is directly related to the status under which the outcomes have been produced and the "User" - "Infrastructure" relationship. However, in general, the ways of exploiting the outcomes will include:
