| * | Abbreviated name: | REDREAM | | | Project title: | REDREAM. Real consumer engagement through a new user-centric ecosystem development for end-users´assets in a multi-market scenario. (Horizon 2020. Grant agreement No. 957837) | | | Funding entity: | European Commission | | | Start date: | October 2020 | | | End date: | April 2024 | | | Researcher(s): | Álvaro Sánchez Miralles, Francisco Martín Martínez, Miguel Ángel Sanz Bobi, Carmen Valor Martínez, Álvaro Erdozain Vila, Alessandra Porfido, José Carlos Romero Mora, Roberto Barrella, Efraim Centeno Hernáez, Miguel Martín Lopo, Gopal Lal Rajora, Alejandro Rodríguez Gallego, Bad´r Ghorbal, Javier Matanza Domingo, Rubén Rodríguez Vilches, Olga Rico Díez | | | Description: | This project not only enables the effective participation of the consumers/prosumers in the energy market, but also drives a profound change turning traditional company’s value chain into value generation chain, based on a revolutionary Service Dominant Logic paradigm. The main objective of the REDREAM project is to effectively move the consumer (as a residential, industrial and tertiary consumer) participation to the centre of the energy market through an open and co-creative ecosystem where all stakeholders will actively interact. This ambitious challenge will require the collection of demand response tools and services (energy and non-energy) capable of enabling the capacity for the consumers of participating in the energy market through an improvement of predictability of consumption patterns and consumer behaviour.
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 957837

| | | | | | * | Abbreviated name: | PID2022-136376OB-I00 | | | Project title: | Transport and policies for the transition to a low-carbon economy in Spain (PID2022-136376OB-I00) | | | Funding entity: | Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades (MICIU), Agencia Estatal de Investigación (AEI), Fondo Europeo de Desarrollo Regional (FEDER) | | | Start date: | September 2023 | | | End date: | August 2027 | | | Researcher(s): | Pedro Linares Llamas, José Carlos Romero Mora, José Pablo Chaves Ávila | | | Description: | The energy transition is one of the most important challenges facing our economies in the coming years in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (to which the energy sector contributes 60-70% globally). This transition requires moving away from fossil fuels and towards a more decarbonised, more distributed, and more consumer-centred energy system, while maintaining an affordable and reliable energy service.
Spain is one of the countries with the most ambitious targets for decarbonisation, renewable energy penetration and energy savings (European Climate Foundation, 2019), as set out in the National Integrated Energy and Climate Plan 2021-2030 (currently under review). Meeting these targets will require effective, efficient and equitable policies to be deployed in order to achieve them at the lowest possible cost, while ensuring the fairness of the transition. It is therefore essential to design these policies correctly, based on a rigorous assessment of similar policies and appropriate modelling of the expected effects of these policies.
The challenge is particularly complex in sectors such as transport or industry, where emission trends show little improvement, and which are additionally crucial for employment and economic growth.
In this context, the objectives of the proposal are:
- To improve the energy-economic-environmental modelling capacity for Spain, to expand the capabilities to represent the expected evolution of energy use in Spain and the potential impacts of different policies. In particular, we aim to improve the modelling of the transport sector, industry, the so-called circular economy, and of consumer decisions on energy efficiency, which are not yet sufficiently explored. We also aim to improve the representation of robust and flexible decision-making in the construction of energy scenarios. Where possible, these developments will be integrated into integrated models such as TIMES.
- Using the developed models, or other models based on micro-data, to evaluate different policy instruments for energy transition contributing to a better design and implementation. In particular, we intend to evaluate transport decarbonisation policies (both fiscal and technological), energy efficiency subsidies for households, and transport fuel poverty policies.
Grant “Evaluation of policies for energy transition” (PID2022-136376OB-I00) funded by MICIU/AEI/ 10.13039/501100011033 and by ERDF/EU.

| * | Abbreviated name: | VAREX-2024 | | | Project title: | Assessment express rehabilitations 2024 | | | Funding entity: | Fundación Naturgy | | | Start date: | February 2024 | | | End date: | September 2024 | | | Researcher(s): | Roberto Barrella, José Carlos Romero Mora, Efraim Centeno Hernáez | | | Description: | This project aims to carry out a mixed assessment (with objective and subjective data) of the impact on energy poverty of the shallow renovations carried out by the Naturgy Foundation and the collaborating NGOs within the framework of the Solidarity Fund for Energy Rehabilitation. The impact analysis is carried out based on the characteristics of the home and the energy bills before and after the refurbishment, comparing the actual expenditure with the required energy expenditure of the household. The calculation of a hidden energy poverty indicator is also proposed to measure the objective impact of the intervention on energy poverty. Finally, the subjective indicators of inadequate temperature (both in winter and summer) are estimated to analyse the change in the perception of comfort in the dwelling. | | | | |

| * | Abbreviated name: | CRE-COORDINA-BOLETIN-2023 | | | Project title: | Academic coordination in the preparation of the study «The impact of energy poverty on the social vulnerability of the population attended by the Spanish Red Cross in the context of the inflationary crisis» | | | Funding entity: | Cruz Roja Española | | | Start date: | January 2023 | | | End date: | December 2023 | | | Researcher(s): | Roberto Barrella, José Carlos Romero Mora, Efraim Centeno Hernáez | | | Description: | The main objective of this applied research project is to analyse the different situations and dimensions of energy poverty experienced by the population assisted by the Spanish Red Cross in the context of the inflationary crisis we are experiencing in Spain and the rest of Europe.
The research and academic coordination carried out offers an analysis of the attended population based on the characteristics that are most relevant in the context of energy poverty: socio-demographic data, efficiency and housing conditions, economic, occupational and school situation of household members, risk of poverty and/or social exclusion (AROPE), objective and subjective dimensions of energy poverty, family strategies to combat energy poverty and its risks, consequences and degree of social protection.
The project is based on the coordination and cooperation of/with the parties involved for the realisation of the study with a double quantitative/qualitative approach. | | | | | | * | Abbreviated name: | CRE-ESTADISTICA-BOLETIN-2023 | | | Project title: | Statistical analysis of data from the study «The impact of energy poverty on the social vulnerability of the population attended by the Spanish Red Cross in the context of the inflationary crisis» | | | Funding entity: | Cruz Roja Española (CRE) | | | Start date: | May 2023 | | | End date: | September 2023 | | | Researcher(s): | Roberto Barrella, José Carlos Romero Mora | | | Description: | The main objective of the project is to carry out a statistical analysis of the data from the study "The impact of energy poverty on the social vulnerability of the population attended by the Spanish Red Cross in the context of the inflationary crisis". This objective can be broken down into three sub-objectives:
1. Preparation of the database provided by the Spanish Red Cross for the study and preliminary descriptive analysis.
2. Obtaining the main aggregated energy poverty indicators and the AROPE indicator for the sample of households.
3. Factor analysis and disaggregated study of the sample to identify the determinants of energy poverty in the households attended by the Spanish Red Cross in the context of the inflationary crisis.
The statistical analysis takes into account the following elements (among others): socio-demographic data, education, origin, income, employment, housing, and the variables that make up the AROPE. | | | | |
