Strengthening the EU LIFE Teplo Project

This is a partnership opportunity for the successful implementation of the EU LIFE TEPLO project in Nizhyn, Ukraine.

The TEPLO project is a flagship EU initiative that demonstrates how bio-based, eco-friendly insulation can modernize Soviet-era residential buildings, reduce energy consumption by up to 30%, and strengthen Ukraine’s long-term energy resilience. This pilot not only improves living conditions for residents but also creates a replicable model for sustainable reconstruction across the country.

However, as our technical assessments have progressed, we have identified critical additional works, including structural reinforcement, ventilation, and roof replacement, that fall outside the scope of the original EU funding but are essential for ensuring the building’s safety, durability, and performance. To address these needs, we are seeking a total of €126,000 in additional donor support. However, you may wish to contribute a lower amount for a particular element that fits your organisation's strategy or focus area. 

Your contribution would:

• Safeguard the project’s technical quality and safety standards.

• Enable timely delivery of a high-impact EU LIFE demonstration project.

• Provide significant visibility for your support, with the potential of international recognition during a planned EU Commissioner’s visit in 2026.

We believe this investment offers exceptional value: Strengthening a €1 million EU-backed project, delivering measurable environmental and social impact, and showcasing your organization’s leadership in sustainable reconstruction and climate resilience.
