Result description
Based on the analysis of needs and requirements for low-emission power supply for bases of operation and emergency shelters among over 50 emergency response organisations and other stakeholders in 9 European countries, and analysis of 33 current or emerging power supply technologies, we have defined a business case, IPR and a commercialisation plan that will help the POWERBASE consortium prepare for future innovation procurement as part of a potential PCP action.
Addressing target audiences and expressing needs
- To raise awareness and possibly influence policy
- Business partners – SMEs, Entrepreneurs, Large Corporations
We are looking for low-emission power supply solutions that meets the needs of emergency responders. As such solutions do not currently exist, we have applied for PCP funding to develop such solutions. In the meantime, we will try to raise awareness of the needs and challenges of emergency responders among among technology developers/suppliers and Research and Technology Organisations.
- EU and Member State Policy-makers
- Other Actors who can help us fulfil our market potential
- Research and Technology Organisations
R&D, Technology and Innovation aspects
We have published a software tool that will help emergency response organisations calculate reduction in CO2 for emergency response missions using renewable energy (photovoltaic generators, wind generators and battery storage systems) instead of diesel generators.

We have conducted both a thorough needs assessment and SOTA, and we expect that the results are fully reproducible.
