The GreenJOBS Project focuses on the reuse of end-of-life coal mines, one of the sectors most affected by the transition, by deploying emerging renewable energy and circular economy technologies to help develop a renewable energy-based power sector, promote sustainable local economic growth and maximise the number of green and quality jobs for former coal mining workers while addressing their training and retraining. It will also contribute to the decarbonisation of energy-intensive industries by providing them with green hydrogen.

GreenJOBS will provide mining companies with two innovative business plans: a Virtual Power Plant where the energy produced will be sold to the grid or used to power electro-intensive industries or energy intensive companies located close to mines, such as aluminium factories or green plants. data centres; and a Green Hydrogen Plant where renewable hydrogen will be produced by electrolysis of mine water and electricity from renewable sources.
