/ RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Sustainability challenges require solutions that go beyond existing practices, which is why investment in research and development is essential for long-term progress.

FROM KNOWLEDGE TO SOLUTIONS: RESEARCH THAT PUSHES THE BOUNDARIES OF SUSTAINABILITY

Envirodual is committed to innovation in sustainability through advanced research and development initiatives. As a company registered with the Slovenian Research and Innovation Agency (ARIS), we are building our own R&D team, which leads projects at the intersection of market needs and technological progress – from the development of advanced sustainability tools to the preparation of strategic studies, providing our clients with state-of-the-art solutions.

Our research work is based on a systemic and transdisciplinary approach: we integrate knowledge from energy, climate change, environmental sciences, spatial planning and digital technologies into comprehensive methodologies and tools tailored to the specific challenges of our clients. In doing so, we push the boundaries of conventional practices and set new standards in decarbonisation, climate resilience and sustainable resource management.

We also see research and development as a collaborative effort. By establishing and strengthening strategic partnerships with academic institutions, research institutions, and the public and private sectors, we facilitate knowledge exchange and the joint development of innovative solutions at the local, regional, national and European levels.

SERVICES

01

Based on our own research, we develop digital tools, models and methodologies that enable clients to plan and make decisions more accurately in the fields of energy, climate and the environment.

Development of advanced sustainability tools and methodologies

EXAMPLES OF SERVICES:

  • Development of digital tools and platforms for monitoring sustainability indicators (e.g. Energy and Climate Atlas, Digital Local Energy Concept).

  • Development of methodologies for assessing climate risks, emissions and energy potential.

  • Testing and validation of new approaches prior to their implementation in practice.

01

We focus on developing comprehensive environmental strategies and studies to preserve, improve, and reduce ecological footprints. Our approach combines services that connect and form a coherent and effective system to enable environmental stability and sustainability.

Strategic Development and Management

EXAMPLES OF SERVICES:

  • Development of Municipal environmental protection programs

  • Strategies for reducing the ecological footprint

  • Development of a Cadastre of city vegetation

  • Development of Wood biomass potential

  • Evaluation of environmental policies

  • Black carbon measurements

  • Environmental impact assessment, life cycle assessment of products and services

  • Support in the Implementation of environmental regulations

  • Creation of a Polluter cadastre

  • Development of emission inventory

  • Preparation of sustainable reports and reporting e.g. CDP/ICLEI, SECAP, and NetZero Cities.

01

We provide comprehensive strategic planning to help regions and municipalities strengthen their resilience to climate change. Our services include the development of regional and local adaptation strategies and action plans, supported by detailed assessments of climate risks and vulnerabilities. We ensure that climate goals are meaningfully integrated into development strategies and spatial planning documents, enabling sustainable and future-oriented growth.

Integrated Strategic Planning

EXAMPLES OF SERVICES:

  • Preparation of regional and local climate change adaptation strategies and action plans

  • Preparation of SECAPs - Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plans

  • Climate vulnerability and risk assessments

  • Integration of climate objectives into development and spatial planning documents

01

We specialise in energy efficiency and cost reduction in various sectors, including energy, transport, industry, and buildings. We offer comprehensive solutions in renewable energy sources and advanced technologies, such as energy storage, smart grids, transition to low-temperature systems, and connecting energy systems (heat, electricity).

Comprehensive engineering services

EXAMPLES OF SERVICES:

  • Identification of renewable energy potential and implementation of technologies and other energy sources that lead to decarbonisation

  • Municipal energy management (e.g. Energy manager)

  • Development of Energy audits

  • PHPP studies

  • Technical assistance (e.g. deep energy retrofit, establishing energy communities), and other with the areas related consulting.

02

We support environmental projects with an integrated approach that includes the development of software solutions and precise analysis and visualisation.

Digitalization and GIS

EXAMPLES OF SERVICES:

02

We develop strategic development documents and studies in the energy field (analyses, action plans, vulnerability and risk assessment, resilience). We specialise in decarbonisation projects and achieving net-zero emissions in systems and cities, including complex studies of energy systems, their integration into spatial plans, and their impact on various aspects of development.

Strategic Development and Management

EXAMPLES OF SERVICES:

Development of:

  • Local energy concepts

  • Sustainable energy and climate programs

  • Adaptation strategies

  • Risk and vulnerability studies

  • Decarbonisation of energy systems

  • GHG emissions inventories

  • Energy balances

  • And preparation of sustainability reports and reporting, e.g., CDP/ICLEI, SECAP, and NetZero Cities.

02

Our team conducts both qualitative and quantitative analyses to support effective climate action. We calculate carbon footprints for sectors, companies, municipalities, and other organisations, and prepare greenhouse gas emission inventories to guide decarbonisation strategies. We also assess the climate resilience of infrastructure (“climate proofing”) and ensure compliance with the Do No Significant Harm (DNSH) principle. Through these activities, we help clients identify opportunities to reduce emissions, increase efficiency, and build long-term resilience.

Climate Mitigation and Adaptation Analyses

EXAMPLES OF SERVICES:

  • Carbon footprint calculation for sectors, companies, municipalities, and organisations

  • Greenhouse gas emission inventories and reporting

  • Climate proofing of infrastructure projects

  • Assessment of compliance with the “Do No Significant Harm” (DNSH) principle

02

As a consortium member, we participate in national and European research projects (e.g. Horizon Europe, LIFE), where we contribute our expertise and develop solutions to real-world challenges faced by the public and private sectors.

Participation in research and development projects

EXAMPLES OF SERVICES:

  • Participation as a partner in research consortia.

  • Management of work packages and expert tasks within projects.

  • Transfer of research results into practical solutions for clients.

03

Development of investment documentation, analysis of costs and benefits of energy investments, assessments of financial risks and opportunities, development of strategies for obtaining financial resources, EU taxonomy.

Investment and Financial Planning

EXAMPLES OF SERVICES:

03

We prepare in-depth studies and analyses that address emerging sustainability challenges and serve as an expert basis for decision-making at the level of companies, municipalities or public institutions.

Strategic studies and expert analyses

EXAMPLES OF SERVICES:

  • Expert studies on new technologies and approaches in the field of the green transition.

  • Analyses of trends and technological options for clients.

  • Preparation of expert input for policy development.

03

We believe that meaningful climate action requires understanding, collaboration, and shared responsibility. That’s why we organise workshops, training sessions, and communication campaigns designed to raise awareness, share knowledge, and empower stakeholders to take an active role in addressing climate change. By fostering cooperation between local communities, institutions, and businesses, we help create a collective foundation for a more resilient and sustainable future.
