HYBES - Hybrid energy solutions for buildings and infrastructure

HYBES is an international development and research project exploring hybrid energy systems integrating renewable energy sources and energy storage technologies to provide sustainable energy solutions for Arctic communities.

What we do

The Arctic is a unique and challenging environment for energy systems due to its extreme weather conditions, long periods of darkness, and limited infrastructure. Local communities still rely on fossil fuels, which are environmentally unsustainable for their energy needs. The HYBES project aims to develop, implement and promote more sustainable energy solutions for Arctic communities. HYBES project will identify and engage relevant stakeholders, including local communities, policymakers, and industry stakeholders, to ensure that the project results are aligned with their needs and interests.

Our objectives

HYBES aims to strengthen the capacity for climate change adaptation and resource sufficiency in northern periphery area, promote energy efficiency, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. HYBES will demonstrate how decarbonisation measures can benefit communities and individual households financially and environmentally using existing best practices and novel innovations. We will show this through tangible outputs and education on the value of decarbonisation.
