Varmeplan Danmark 2021
Varmeplan Danmark 2021” er et konkret bud på, hvad der bør ske i varmesektoren for, at Danmark kan gennemføre den grønne omstilling på en teknisk, økonomisk og miljømæssig hensigtsmæssig måde i 2030 (VPDK-30) såvel som i 2045 (VPDK-45). Med ”Varmeplan … Continue reading
Quantification of Non-linearities in the Consequential Life Cycle Assessment of the Use Phase of Battery Electric Vehicles
The diffusion of Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) is projected to influence the electricity grid operation, potentially offering opportunities for load-shifting policies aimed at higher integration of renewable energy technologies in the electricity system. Moreover, the examined literature emphasizes electricity as … Continue reading
IRENA and Aalborg University (2021) – Integrating low-temperature renewables in district energy systems: Guidelines for policy makers
Reducing the heating and cooling sector’s emissions is critical to mitigating the effects of climate change and reducing air pollution. District heating and cooling systems can assist in scaling up renewable energy use, decreasing the utilisation of fossil fuels in … Continue reading

Decarbonizing the transport sector: the Promethean responsibility of Nicaragua
The transport sector is the second-largest energy consumer in Nicaragua, and it relies solely on oil derivatives. It is growing at an unsustainable rate and Nicaragua must explore alternative transport pathways to decarbonize this sector. This study developed 5 scenarios … Continue reading
The Impacts of High V2G Participation in a 100% Renewable Åland Energy System
A 100% renewable energy (RE) scenario featuring high participation in vehicle-to-grid (V2G) services was developed for the Åland islands for 2030 using the EnergyPLAN modelling tool. Hourly data was analysed to determine the roles of various energy storage solutions, notably … Continue reading
Scenarios for a sustainable energy system in the Åland Islands in 2030
A fully sustainable energy system for the Åland islands is possible by 2030 based on the assumptions in this study. Several scenarios were constructed for the future energy system based on various combinations of domestic production of wind and solar … Continue reading
Heat Roadmap Europe 4 (HRE4)
The goal of Heat Roadmap Europe 4 (HRE4) is to develop low-carbon heating and cooling strategies, called Heat Roadmaps, by quantifying and implementing changes at the national level for 14 EU Member States, which together account for approximately 85-90% of total … Continue reading
The role of Solar thermal in Future Energy Systems
The report “The role of Solar thermal in Future Energy Systems – Country cases for Germany, Italy, Austria and Denmark” deals with solar thermal technologies and investigates possible roles for solar thermal in future energy systems for four national energy … Continue reading
