Abstract
Civic energy – delivering community benefits of climate action: The COBEN project
Highlights
The COBEN project identifies civic energy (CE) as key to the needed transitions from the fossil-based energy system to a community-driven, renewables-based structure
Projected Eeklo heat network Shift in energy focus The energy transition challenges can only be met by mobilising pro-active communities to re-design their energy processes and shift the focus from corporate cost-benefit analyses to community needs
The Civic Energy Conference of September 2019 [5] produced two clear messages: 1. The energy transition will happen in the regions or it will not happen at all
Summary
The COBEN project identifies civic energy (CE) as key to the needed transitions from the fossil-based energy system to a community-driven, renewables-based structure. Projected Eeklo heat network Shift in energy focus The energy transition challenges can only be met by mobilising pro-active communities to re-design their energy processes and shift the focus from corporate cost-benefit analyses to community needs. A civic energy process design must function as a social transition framework that makes the shift in energy patterns manageable.
