Energy for Refugees Details
In 2016 it was estimated that 362,000 refugees and migrants risked their lives crossing the Mediterranean Sea hoping to find a new home. This humanitarian crisis has lead in 2017 to over 2,700 people that are believed to have died or gone missing during their journey to reach Europe. Once in Europe one of the first stops is Greece. In particular the island of Lesvos, which received 57% of total arrivals by sea in Greece in 2015. Unfortunately, not in all the areas enabled to host refugees, the access to some basic needs, as energy, is possible. Addressing this issue, Energy for Refugees is a new student initiative of TU Delft Energy Club which aims to provide sustainable energy to those most in need of it.This year project aims to design an energy system for a refugee camp in Greece Lesvos. Currently, authorities struggle to keep up with the needs of the camp and the expensive electricity coming from the grid is not a long term and sustainable solution.Our team aims to provide cheap, reliable and sustainable energy as well as improving energy efficiencies of the camp just by using the natural resources of the island. The team is also concerned with the social and economic aspects of this humanitarian problem. We are not only going to provide energy but also involve the camp residents by training them about how to maintain and operate the system in order to create an autonomous camp which is less dependent on the local municipalities. Our team will visit the island to actually implement the designed energy system in place during summer of 2018.Follow us on facebook @EnergyforRefugees and twitter @EnergyfRefugees for other stories from Lesvos and developments on the project!
