KEMA, an international consultancy organisation in the field of energy and environment, together with a Belgium community, intends to submit a project proposal for the CONCERTO subsidy call for the European Union.  

KEMA and the Belgium community Leuven intend to submit a project proposal in this call. The project in Leuven aims to redevelop an industrial site around the concepts of demand side management, sustainable energy and urban convenience. The impact of the project in Leuven will be significant as replication can be expected in many urban redevelopment projects.

The Leuven Project is looking for:
- two associated communities
- a research organisation that can assist in research activities concerning the impact (sustainability, CO2) of the bio-oils (Jatropha) which will be used in the cogeneration plant.

These partners should be located in Europe (Belgium and the Netherlands excluded). The EU again values very much the participation of new member states, especially from Eastern-Europe.

Associated communities that are interested in this project will follow the development of the project and learn the attractiveness of the several technologies and concepts used. The associated communities should have an overlap in interest and should show ambitions to implement similar technologies or activities within their community.
The reserach tasks related to the bio-oil are not exactly defined yet. This can be discussed with interested parties.

The ConcertoIII call offers partners the possibilities to work together with other ambitious European communities and organizations. The project and contact network offered enables knowledge exchange.
