- Publication 16 August 2021 Too complicated and impractical? An exploratory study on the role of energy system models in municipal decision-making processes in Denmark Energy system models can contribute to the transition to low-carbon energy systems by helping devise pathways and calculate costs of energy policies and targets. As such, they are intended to provide support for energy planning, especially at the national level. Since energy system models are often developed outside urban contexts, their municipal policy relevance cannot be taken for granted. It is still unclear to what extent and how energy system models are applied to create municipal energy…
- Publication 16 August 2021 How Can Blockchain Technology Accelerate Energy Efficiency Interventions? A Use Case Comparison This paper qualitatively evaluates the application of blockchain technology for three energy efficiency use cases. To achieve the Sustainable Development Agenda, energy efficiency improvements have to double by 2030. However, the adoption of energy efficiency interventions is slow due to several market barriers. Blockchain technology is a nascent technology with the potential to address these barriers or even fundamentally change energy system designs, by enabling transparent, decentralised,…

- Publication 16 August 2021 New pathways for organic waste in land-based farming of salmon: The case of Norway and Denmark Demand for farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) has been increasing dramatically. Simultaneously, the industry faces increasingly large ecological challenges with the grow-out phase at sea. As a result, and with the aid of Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS) technology, firms are moving more of the production processes onto land. Thus far, the industry has treated the waste (sludge from the land-based farms) as a low-value product, and valorisation has been a low priority. Handling of waste…
- Publication 16 August 2021 ¿Influyen el clima y la contaminación atmosférica en la transmisión e incidencia de la nueva enfermedad Covid19? The COVID-19 pandemic and the mobility limitations imposed to try to contain its spread have led to a drastic decrease in emissions of air pollutants and CO2. For the former, the drop in the atmospheric concentrations of the main urban air pollutants leads to a decrease in mortality attributable to air pollution. This has not been the case in the case of CO2 emissions; though they have decreased by close to 8%, that is insufficient to show a measurable impact in the context of the climate…
