  • Abstract:
    • MILESECURE-2050 project aims to understand and overcome the political, economical and behavioural traits and trends that led Europe to its difficulties in reducing fossil fuel consumption. Moreover  by  diversifying its energy balance at rates which guarantee European energy security in the next few years (more specifically towards the horizon 2050), this would reduce the threat of climate change, and diminish the risk of an energy gap in the coming decades.
