There are two lines of research in the project: industrial transformation and the built environment. The research of the Hanze University of Applied Sciences focuses mainly on the built environment.

For the built environment, we are looking for well-functioning existing and new tools and models that can help various parties make plans and decisions to make an area CO2 neutral.  We do this from an area-oriented approach. One of the most important starting points here is the involvement of communities and residents in planning and decision-making processes.  Together in this project, we are looking for an approach and methods that can be used throughout the entire process of the energy transition: from awareness to implementation. We are not only looking at the technical and economic aspects of energy systems, but also at the spatial and social factors that play a role. The research takes place on the basis of a number of case studies on, for example, Ameland, in a number of villages in the rural area and a city district in Groningen.
