ENER-BI: Integrating Energy and Spatial Data for Cities’ Decarbonisation Planning [PDF]

Sustainability, 2021
Given the current climate emergency, our planet is suffering. Mitigation measures must be urgently deployed in urban environments, which are responsible for more than 70% of global CO2 emissions. In this sense, a deeper integration between energy and urban planning disciplines is a key factor for effective decarbonisation in urban environments. This is

Integrating Blue Energy in Maritime Spatial Planning of Mediterranean Regions

Frontiers in Energy Research, 2022
Blue Energy (BE) is expected to play a strategic role in the energy transition of Europe, particularly toward the 2050 horizon. It refers to a set of Marine Energy Sources (MES), including offshore wind, waves, tides, marine currents, sea thermal energy, salinity gradients, and marine biomass, which are exploited by different BE technologies ...
