Title: Practical tools for businesses to tackle decarbonisation

Presenters:

• Nadia Soledad Ibañez Iralde, Architect Researcher at the Energy Research Center of Catalonia (IREC)
• Giorgio Coppola, Researcher at EIEE-CMCC Institute

In the framework of the European LOCALISED project, we invite you to participate in a webinar dedicated to present two free tools specifically designed to support the business sector in the energy transition.

The LOCALISED project, funded by the Horizon 2020 program of the European Commission, aims to bridge the gap between national decarbonization plans and the concrete actions needed at the local level. To achieve this, the project has developed several digital solutions to facilitate decision-making among local authorities, citizens, and businesses, recognizing that all these groups are key players in the energy transition.

In this webinar, we will present two valuable tools:

• The Net Zero Business Consultant-(NZBC) Developed by the CMCC Foundation in collaboration with Assalombarda, which is a tool that allows local businesses of the transport, agriculture and manufacturing sector to assess their risk and vulnerability to the transition.
• The LOCALISED Sustainable Business Model Canvas (LSBMC)- Designed by the Institute for Energy Research of Catalonia (IREC). A tool designed to help analyse and transform business models to align them with sustainable development. Based on an Excel-like structure, the tool allows businesses to identify barriers, detect opportunities and evaluate practical indicators to advance towards decarbonisation.

In addition, during the event, a real case study will be presented to visualize the potential usefulness and capabilities of both tools.
