16. Heat decarbonization in municipalities - Accounting for the local spatial context in techno-economic modeling
Sammanfattning : In Europe, 57% of the energy used for space and water heating is derived from the combustion of fossil fuels, whereas only 24% comes from renewables. Compared to the wide-reaching transmission of electricity between countries, the supply of heat predominantly occurs at the local or individual level. LÄS MER
17. On Sustainability in Local Energy Planning
Sammanfattning : Energy is among the main driving forces needed for sustainable development. Provision of energy services, from the supply side to transmission/distribution and use, must include management, and good management requires tools. Energy planning is a tool for managing the community energy system through assessing and balancing supply and demand. LÄS MER
18. Investigation into sustainable energy systems in Nordic municipalities
Sammanfattning : Municipal energy systems in Nordic environments face multiple challenges: the cold climate, large-scale industries, a high share of electric heating and long distances drive energy consumption. While actions on the demand side minimize energy use, decarbonization efforts in mining, industries, the heating and the transport sector can increase the consumption of electricity and biofuels.

19. A Needs-Based Approach towards Fostering Long-term Engagement with Energy Feedback among Local Residents
Sammanfattning : In order to reach the current climate goals, energy consumption needs to decrease in all sectors, including households, which produce 20% of the European emissions. However, it is difficult to increase residents’ engagement in their household electricity consumption as it is an ‘invisible’ form of energy, the monetary incentives are often too small and environmental incentives are not very effective.

20. Energy planning for islands : Guiding island energy transition and decision-making
Sammanfattning : The importance and benefits of transitioning away from fossil fuel based energy systems is becoming ever clearer. The transition is especially crucial for geographic islands that typically have limited, or no, access to mainland energy networks. LÄS MER
