DECOST Replicability & Transferability Plan
The Replicability & Transferability (R&T) Plan for the DECOST project provides guidelines and a methodological framework to quantify economic, operational, environmental, social, and legal aspects in order to examine the feasibility of Decentralized Composting (DC) projects at any given location.
DECOST Training Package Materials
This document describes the training materials for the composting theory sessions given to the municipality workers. The target value is 4 reports which are presented together in this output. The different training materials were used in Spain, Italy and the same material in Palestine and Jordan
Sustainability Report of the DECOST pilots
This document describes the results obtained about the LCA assessement (carbon footprint), tons of CO2 equivalent (and monitoring, tecno economic assessment and social assessment of the DECOST project in the four pilots implemented in Italy, Jordan, Palestine and Spain.
Statistical Report of the DECOST pilots
This document describes the statistical results obtained during the execution of the DECOST project in the four pilots implemented in Italy, Jordan, Palestine and Spain.
RESTART MED - To the South West, video
A video created through a fund provided by RESTART MED to a sustainable tourism provider in Sicily to promote the area and attract responsible tourists.
RESTART MED - Networking strategy
A strategy model that aims to (1) set up a network for the development of a sustainable tourism model, and (2) implement a networking strategy: informing, involving and coordinating a large number of public/private actors working to enhance sustainable tourism in the Mediterranean Region and beyond.
RESTART MED - Official video of the MED Sustainable Tourism platform
The MED Sustainable Tourism is an initiative to promote Sustainable tourism in all Mediterranean countries.
Developed as a spin-off of CROSSDEV, MEDUSA, MED GAIMS and MED PEARLS projects, the MED Sustainable Tourism platform gathers guidelines and information about various kinds of sustainable tourism, such as Cultural Tourism, Adventure Tourism, Gamification in Tourism, and Slow Tourism. While being very peculiar in their own traits, they all share the same values, from the caring of environment to the wellbeing of local communities.

Cost & Benefit analysis (A4.3.1)
The incorporation of renewable energy sources (RES) in the building sector has been a growing trend in recent years. This trend is driven by a variety of factors, including rising energy costs, a growing awareness of climate change issues, and the implementation of government policies and incentives. In this way, governments worldwide have implemented various policies and incentives to promote the integration of renewable energy in the building sector. These measures include tax credits, rebates, and financial incentives provided to building owners who choose to install renewable energy systems. Moreover, many countries have established building codes and regulations that mandate specific energy efficiency and renewable energy standards for new constructions.
A Cost-Benefit analysis for various combinations of PV and battery capacity systems is implemented to provide the most profitable system for each examined building and country.
MedRiSSE E-Learning Courses on Co-production and Social Innovation with SSE entities
These courses result from the knowledge and experience gained from five capitalized projects funded by the ENI CBC MED Programme. All projects aimed to enhance a collaborative ecosystem for Social Solidarity Economy (SSE) initiatives, support social business startups, and promote social innovation. In total, 5 eLearning courses have been developed and uploaded to the Med Co-production Lab: Co-production of Public Policies and Complementary Currencies, Alliances with SSE for Employment and Education, Support to Social Business Start-ups on Scaling up and Replication, Fair Trade, Rural Entrepreneurship and Women's Empowerment, and How to Develop a Local Ecosystem of SSE Based on CITESS Methodology. Once the course is successfully completed after a quick quiz, the Lab automatically generates a certificate of knowledge. All courses have been translated to Arabic and Spanish.
Creating and running the Intelligent Utilization of PV Technology in the MED region (UPVMED) Hub (A4.4.1)
The Intelligent Utilization of Photovoltaic Technology in the Mediterranean (MED) region (IUPVMED) Hub was created under the BERLIN project. The purpose of the Hub is to bring together key stakeholders to exchange knowledge and discuss challenges and opportunities for the wider adoption of cost-effective policies, which are related to the increase of the photovoltaic (PV) energy share, increased local consumption of PV-generated electricity, and the integration of PV, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), and Demand Side Management (DSM), under the concept of a hybrid nanogrid system.
Establishing country-specific procedures/roadmaps (A4.3.3)
This report includes information on the country specific procedures/roadmaps detailing the steps in order to reach higher resilience based on PV+ESS+DSM utilization. These steps include conducting a building energy audit, designing the BESS system, incorporating DSM strategies, integrating the PV+BESS+DSM hybrid system, etc. Each step will be implemented to have the required adaptations of regulations and technical guidelines and proposals to use specific financing instruments (including dynamic tariffs). A cost-benefit analysis was conducted following a hybrid solution in each partner country. This report includes country-specific insights from a cost-benefit analysis of the solution. Finally, recommendations are presented for securing the necessary funding to rehabilitate existing public building stock.
Developing of regional dynamic electricity tariffs (A4.3.2)
Static tariffs do not encourage the widespread of RES without large incentives, which however transfer the RES costs to non-RES owners. One important goal of the BERLIN project is to propose new dynamic tariffs that better reflect the actual dynamic cost of electricity generation in each participating country with a pilot. The current report begins with an overview of the existing tariffs in the four participating countries of the BERLIN project (Cyprus, Greece, Israel, and Italy). Subsequently, information is provided on the proposed dynamic tariffs that can be developed and implemented in each pilot based on electricity market prices.
