Abstract
To achieve climate goals and contain further global warming, it is inevitable to reduce CO2 emissions especially in energy consumption. A way to do so is by integrating renewable energy sources (RES) into an energy system’s power generation. However, there is no standard procedure to decarbonise a locally restricted system. Therefore, the various local conditions have to be analysed and taken into consideration.
 The authors propose a model-based approach to decarbonise the energy system of the island Föhr, Germany. This includes various collected data sets on local conditions such as climate data and heat and power demand. The data is used to represent the island’s energy system and design a model-based solution in a simulation software.
 The authors identify potentials by comparing costs and revenues by addressing the deployment of different RES technologies. One finding is that heat generation causes 91 % of CO2 emissions making it the major producer. However, with the designed solution, emissions could be reduced to a third.

Summary
The climate change becoming more and more perceptible, decarbonisation of energy systems is a topic of interdisciplinary interest. Föhr’s municipal administration reached out to TH Wildau to conduct a holistic study on the topic of decarbonisation, especially focusing on reducing CO2 emissions caused by electricity and heat sector. Both sectors only have been considered individually. Results of this project are being presented and taken into account in this paper. Hwang et al [3] proposed a renewable-energy-based smart grid system on Gapa island, South Korea. Renewable energy sources and the implementation of a smart grid system, local conditions have to be taken into account. Within the framework of the case-study, this paper presents a model-based decarbonized system for the island Föhr
