The SCCALE 20-30-50 toolkit will include different guides and briefings to support the creation of local energy communities. It will be a collection of existing knowledge within the community energy movement, and tested techniques used in the 5 pilots of the project.@en
Co-creation is often presented as a solution to challenges of achieving energy transitions. However, there is currently little known about how coordinating stakeholders, such as city administrations, interpret co-creation and the extent to which this influences co-creation proces ...

Energy Communities Coming of Age

Developing a Tool to Monitor Maturity and Scaling

This report presents Deliverables 2.1 and 2.2 of the Horizon 2020 SCCALE 203050 project (Sustainable Collective Citizen Action for a Local Europe). The aim of this project is to scale the growth of energy communities - or “Renewable Energy Communities'' according to the EU Renewa ...

SHIFFT WP2 Monitoring & Evaluation of the Co-creation Pilots

WP2 (Work Package-2) Monitoring and Evaluation Report

Sustainable Heating Implementation of Fossil-Free Technologies (SHIFFT) is an Interreg 2 Seas-funded project focused on the adoption of low-carbon heating in existing residential and community buildings. The specific objective of SHIFFT is to increase the adoption of low-carbon t ...
Pioneer cities have demonstrated a willingness and capability to decarbonise local heat systems, but support is needed to scale up action. Heat decarbonisation is not simply a technical challenge, but also a political and social one; stakeholders must inform decisions about appro ...

How to accelerate the heat transition: a guide for local government and actors

Module 4- Technology choices, data, and mapping for sustainable heating

This document is one of a four-part guide on how to accelerate the heat transition in cities. In this module the technical and physical aspects of the transition from fossil to renewable heating are emphasised. In the first section the reader is informed about the reasons why we ...
SHIFFT is an Interreg 2 Seas project, running from 2019-2022, promoting cross-border cooperation between 4 European countries: The Netherlands, France, Belgium and The United Kingdom. It has been approved under the priority ‘Low Carbon Technologies’.@en

Energy Potential Mapping

Open Data in Support of Urban Transition Planning

Cities play a key role in driving the transition to sustainable energy. Urban areas represent between 60% and 80% of global energy consumption and are a significant source of CO2 emissions, making energy management at the urban scale an important area of research. Urban energy sy ...
Following the Paris Climate Agreements, all European cities must undergo a transition towards asustainable, net zero-carbon energy system. This is an unprecedented challenge that will require a lot of knowledge and methodological support.For the City-zen project, under the coordi ...
Purpose: City-zen is an EU-funded interdisciplinary project that aims to develop and demonstrate energy-efficient cities and to build methods and tools for cities, industries and citizens to achieve ambitious sustainability targets. As part of the project, an Urban Energy Transit ...

Urban Energy Masterplanning

Approaches, Strategies, and Methods for the Energy Transition in Cities

Many cities across the world have the ambition of becoming carbon neutral, but exact figures of progress toward that goal are limited. Regarding Europe’s not overly ambitious 2020 carbon emission targets, many countries still have a long way to go (see Fig. 1), with cities as the ...
This document represents deliverable 2.6 of the PLANHEAT project, a result of task 2.2.2 on unconventional sources, part of Work Package 2 on the Mapping Module. The purpose of this task is to develop simple and detailed models for mapping local energy sources and to allocate and ...

Quantifying urban energy potentials

Presenting three european research projects

Although more than half of the world’s population now lives in cities, this trend is expected to continue and there is an increasing awareness of the need to move to a fully sustainable urban energy system, this transition process is still significantly lagging behind in many pla ...
