This book was released on 2010-04-05 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global warming is changing the world as we know it. Climate change can have catastrophic impacts in numerous cities across the world. It is time for us to react – quickly and effectively. The European Community (EC) has been leading the fight against climate change, making it one of its top priorities. We have introduced the most ambitious targets of their kind, known as the “20/20/20 by 2020” initiative within the “Climate Action and Renewable Energy Package.” As a result, European Member States have taken on a commitment to curb their CO emissions by at least 20% by 2020. 2 These targets are indeed commendable; however, they are only the start if we are to avoid the consequences of global warming. Whilst top level coordination from the European Institutions and Member State governments is vital, the role of mitigating and adapting to climate change at local level must not be forgotten. In fact, here cities, regions and their citizens play a significant a role. It is therefore vital they become directly involved in the climate change challenge. The European Commission therefore launched in 2008 a new initiative, the Covenant of Mayors, which brings together a network of European mayors in a voluntary effort to go beyond the European Union’s already ambitious targets. Half of our greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) are created in and by cities.

This book was released on 2022-01-03 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume addresses renewable energy communities, and in particular renewable energy cooperatives (REScoops), in the context of the revised EU Renewables Directive. It provides a comprehensive account of the history and development of the renewable energy community movement in over six different countries of continental Europe. It addresses their visions, strategy, organisation, agency, and more particularly the challenges they encounter. This is of particular importance to gain more understanding into how renewable energy communities fare in domestic energy markets where they are confronted with regime institutions, structures and incumbents’ agency that tend to favour maintaining of the status quo while blocking attempts to empower and institutionalise renewable energy communities as market entrants having a disruptive, radical green and localist agenda. This volume will be an invaluable reference for academics and practitioners with an interest in social innovation in sustainable transitions, the role of community energy in energy markets, their agency, as well as an outlook to the impact that the EU Renewables Directive may have to change national legislation and policy frameworks to create a level playing field that is essentially more fair and beneficial to renewable energy communities.

Download or read book The European Dimension of Germany’s Energy Transition written by Erik Gawel and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-02-07 with total page 559 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the interactions between Germany’s energy transition and the EU’s energy policy framework. It seeks to analyze the manifold connections between the prospects of the proclaimed “Energy Union” and the future of Germany’s energy transition, and identifies relevant lessons for the transformation at the EU level that can be learned from the case of Germany, as a first-mover of transforming energy systems towards renewables. The various repercussions (political, economic and systemic) from the national transition are explored within the EU context as it responds to the German transition, taking into account both existing frictions and potential synergies between predominantly national sustainability policies and the EU’s push towards harmonized policies within a common market. The book’s overall aim is to identify the most critical issues, in order to avoid pitfalls and capitalize on opportunities.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the 27th report from the European Union Committee (HLP 175-I, ISBN 9780104013656) and examines the European Union target for renewable energy. Known as the 20/20 package, the European Commission wishes to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 20%, as well as increasing the proportion of final energy consumption from renewable sources to 20%, both by 2020. Each Member State will be given a national target based on their existing renewable generation, their GDP and a flat-increase for all. The Committee believes that achieving the 20% increase of energy via renewable resources will be extremely challenging, and states that further research is required in this area. Further, the Commission's objective of creating a standardised Guarantee of Origin (GoO), where Member States could meet part of their targets by counting energy generated in another country for which they have bought a GoO certificate, is seen by the Committee as potentially undermining efforts to increase renewable generation domestically. The starting point for the Government is a reduction of the absolute level of final energy consumption through energy efficiency and saving measures. Further the Government needs to commit more fully to increasing the level of renewable heat in the UK and should increase grants for microgeneration along with support to bring emerging technologies, such as wind power to a commercially viable state. The Committee also highlights the barriers of meeting its targets in respect of the access given to renewable generators to the electricity grid, and believes the generators should be allowed to connect ahead of grid capacity upgrades. The Committee believes that the 20/20 targets are unachievable unless the Government take quick and decisive action on all fronts, including large -scale generation, microgeneration and energy efficiency. Meeting the target will increase energy costs for consumers, but offers a way forward in moving away from the use of fossil fuels in the future.

Book excerpt: Indonesia is the largest country in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), accounting for around two fifths of the region's energy consumption. Energy demand across the country's more than 17,000 islands could increase by four fifths and electricity demand could triple between 2015 and 2030.While reliance on domestic coal and imported petroleum products has grown, Indonesia has started adding more renewables to its energy mix. The country has set out to achieve 23% renewable energy use by 2025, and 31% by 2050.REmap - the global roadmap from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) - addresses this challenge, presenting a range of technology and resource options, along with key insights on the opportunities and challenges ahead.As this REmap country report shows, Indonesia could feasibly exceed its current goals and deploy even more renewables. In fact, the country could reach its 2050 target two decades sooner - by 2030.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can we sidestep tedious climate policy negotiations and forge a coalition of the willing instead? Many international organizations and scholars hope to spur local climate action by orchestration, indirect and voluntary governance arrangements. Lena Bendlin looks beyond the apparent success of voluntary initiatives using the example of the Covenant of Mayors, often heralded as an exemplary multi-level EU initiative. Five in-depth case studies show why, how, and with what difficulties local governments engage in this voluntary commitment scheme. The analysis identifies durability, intensity, and causality as crucial building blocks for more cautious orchestration theorizing and derives recommendations for appropriate incentives and support at the regional, national, and international level.

This book was released on 2013-05-02 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is alarm at the degree of uncertainty and complacency about affordable, secure and low carbon energy supplies has grown. It is clear that investment is urgently required, notably in a low carbon, interconnected and innovative energy system, that makes us less reliant on imports of highly volatile and dirty fossil fuels. The value of energy companies has slumped since 2008, the public purse is severely constrained, but more than enough money is around in the investment community and clear policy is needed in order to release it. No country is an energy island, so EU policy is particularly important. We need leadership and direction from the EU and its Member States in developing and agreeing an energy policy framework through to 2030. At the heart of that framework, we see two core policies. First, a revised EU Emissions Trading System (ETS). The ETS needs to include a minimum price for carbon, providing governments and investors with the confidence to support innovation through investment. Second, and contrary to UK Government policy, a target for the proportion of energy to be delivered through renewable energy until 2030 is required. Unless we find a way of doing this, our future energy could well be highly polluting, unaffordable and insecure. Other recommendations from the Committee include: a greenhouse gas reduction target of 40% compared to 1990 levels, in line with an 80% reduction by 2050; development of electricity interconnections between Member States; that the UK Government also examine the potential for a regulatory framework to increase gas storage.
