aims of the project

The LACISE project aims to promote the development of a sustainable and secure energy supply system in Latvia by addressing current challenges in the energy sector and educating the next generation of scientists. The project brings together scientists from leading institutions in Latvia and Switzerland to conduct research and develop innovative solutions in three main areas:

• Improving the stability and efficiency of electricity grids: Artificial intelligence is being to create monitoring and planning tools that facilitate the rapid identification and resolution of disturbances, optimize network operations, and integrate renewable energy sources.
• Developing next-generation batteries: Research is focusing on new materials to create more sustainable and efficient energy storage solutions, which would extend battery life, enhance capacity, and reduce reliance on critical materials.
• Advancing hydrogen production technologies: Investigations are underway into the extraction of hydrogen from aluminum waste and water using sunlight and innovative catalysts.

The project aims to strengthen Latvia's scientific potential, promote innovation and collaboration with industry, and contribute to the circular economy and environmental remediation.
