Horizon Civil Security: Green Transition Risks
Funds a €4M project that studies the physical and cyber security risks green technology creates in cities, and how to manage them.
Cities are moving fast on the green transition — solar roofs, EV chargers, battery storage, smart sensors, new construction materials — and each new system plugs into infrastructure that was never built with it in mind. That creates security risks nobody has fully mapped: battery fires, toxic leaks, hacked control systems, data privacy holes. This topic funds the research that finds those risks be…
Identifying, analysing and countering the physical and cyber security risks created when green technologies — solar and grid-interactive roofs and walls, solar power installations, EV charging stations, energy storage, smart sensors and surveillance systems, green transportation systems, sustainable or reused construction materials, and similar infrastructure — are deployed across urban and peri-urban areas. Covers risk-identification and risk-measurement tools, verification of countermeasures, security analysis of these technologies' supply chains, and evaluation methodologies authorities and critical infrastructure operators can use to judge whether a deployment is safe.
