Path-to-RES (Pathways to renewable and efficient energy system)
 

Overall aim: to develop a step-by-step assessment tool which can evaluate and define pathways to renewable and efficient energy systems based on real data from local/regional energy systems. Read more on www.path2res.eu

 

The main objective of the PATH-TO-RES project is to develop an assessment tool to be used on a municipal level as basis for planning and executing the transformation of the local energy system into a sustainable system.

 

Geographical coverage based on 6 case studies:

Case studies are used as the main method to develop the 7 steps from which the roadmap for transforming local energy systems to sustainable systems is formulated.The following case studies will be the basis of the analysis with the aim to be generally applicable (i.e. at least to the EU):

 

• The natural gas bridge, the Göteborg case (Sweden)

• The Valencian Region case (Spain)

• The City of Dunkerque case (France)

• De Stoere Houtman, the Arnhem case (Netherlands)

• The case of Cross border community of Lochem (Netherlands)

• The City of Gdansk case (Poland)

• Technologies/Strategies covered:

The technologies covered by the project are those used for local generation of heat, cooling and electricity from CHP and energy efficiency measures. The local pathway analysis will be used as the main strategy. Yet, an important analysis will focus in ensuring that local goals and plans are in line with EU and global goals.
