Abstract Background A sustainable energy system based on renewables, energy-efficiency, decentralisation of generation and synergies between different sectors requires new planning methods policies. Energy transition climate change mitigation achievement can no longer be seen only through top-down activities from a national government. Local regional governments have crucial role in delivering public policies relevant to such endeavour. Therefore, the implementation multilevel governance...
District heating and cooling systems represent a valuable infrastructure that can facilitate the integration of various energy sources into urban systems. One those is municipal waste. By applying waste-to-energy concept, landfilled waste amounts be significantly reduced, heat, cold electricity produced via combined heat power plants. This research investigates possibility incineration plant existing gas-based district system in central European city. To secure 365 days demand, influence...
In the Croatian territory of Adriatic Sea there are 49 inhabited islands with a total population 124,955 people according to census from 2011. Many studies and analyses showed that can all meet their energy needs locally available renewable sources. Studies have been done for Krk, Unije, Losinj in North Adriatic, Mljet, Lastovo Korcula south Sea. Building smart systems on has become crucial order increase penetration sources make local transport more sustainable. first part, paper presents...
The goal of the European Union is to reduce CO2 emissions by 20% till 2020. This objective transferred municipalities through Covenant Mayors initiative which was established Commission in 2008. In line with this, this paper presents an integration Sustainable Energy Action Plans on Croatian island Korcula. developed a methodology that uses factors, derived from statistic, have influence energy consumption. consumption and Baseline inventory for Korcula public sector, households, tertiary...
Tackling climate change can be achieved through local and regional initiatives, such as the Covenant of Mayors, which create energy plans with mitigation measures. Upon development plans, greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) an individual or joint approach. The research aims to upgrade methods for planning choice actions alternative scenarios reduction GHG emissions. This is optimisation selection measures in case wider Dubrovnik area Croatia by choosing most suitable option implementation when...
Under the context of European Union’s energy and environmental strategy toward its decarbonization by 2050, green markets Member States are growing exponentially. The in-place policies legislation dynamics change substantially in islands isolated regions due to geographical constraints, limited availability local resources, economies scale seasonal employment variabilities. This work focuses on assessing policy legislative elements related growth eight for developing a comprehensive scheme....
