Using pair-wise comparison to identify visually sensitive townscapes in the context of Heritage Impact Assessment
Using pair-wise comparison to identify visually sensitive townscapes in the context of Heritage Impact Assessment – International Geographical Congress
Within the Research Line III: Urban and Heritage Dimension of Distributed Energy of the STEP project, it has been proposed the application of methods and tools for the evaluation of impacts related to “cultural heritage” through an iterative pairwise comparison, in order to assess the sensitivity of historical sites to photovoltaic installations. This method promotes […]
Comunidades energéticas urbanas y rurales en la Península Ibérica
EL PAPEL DE LA EVALUACIÓN AMBIENTAL EN LA TRANSICIÓN ENERGÉTICA LA CONSTRUCCIÓN SOCIAL DEL TERRITORIO
El valor de la consultoría ambiental en el procedimiento de EIA y la transición energética
XII Congreso Nacional de Evaluación de Impacto Ambiental, con la ponencia El valor de la consultoría ambiental en el procedimiento de EIA y la transición energética, organizado por la Asociación Española de Impacto Ambiental y la International Association for Impact Assestment, en Vitoria Gasteiz, Navarra.
The social dimension of energy communities: New hope for local governance or just anenlargement of the energy market in rural areas of Southern Europe?
Assessing the impact of Renewable Energy Installations on urban heritage: the role played by urban morphology
The growing need in the EU for tapping into renewable energy sources is both due to environmental reasons and to shifting geopolitics. Concern is equally growing over the impact of such installations on urban cultural heritage. Restricting them indiscriminately is not an option, if viability must be ensured for smaller towns which are already economically […]
Engendering the Energy Transition: New Governances From Energy Communities
“O que é que há, pois, num nome?”: O conceito de comunidade em comunidades de energia renovável no sul da Europa
Renewable energy communities are a new model of decentralized energy production that has been growing in Europe as part of climate change mitigation strategies and the transition to more sustainable energy systems. Driven first by European policy and then by the transposition of legislation at the national level in individual countries, they are considered “an […]
¿DE QUÉ HABLAMOS CUANDO HABLAMOS DE PAISAJES DE LAS ENERGÍAS RENOVABLES?
To speak of landscape, to think of the contemplation of a beautiful, harmonious and useful space. To speak of renewable energies, to think of less pollution and cheap energy. The difficulty of combining both concepts is reflected in the manifestations of rejection of specific renewable energy installations, manifestations not against this energy but against the […]
Autoconsumo energético y conjuntos urbanos históricos en Andalucía, ¿Un binomio factible? Impactos, gestión, dudas y criterios para su compatibilización
Energías renovables: ¿Más cerca de un desarrollo rural sostenible?
The objectives agreed for the EU’s energy transition have forced member states with insufficient renewable energy (RE) production to develop policies to boost them as a matter of urgency. Thus, the National Integrated Energy and Climate Plan 2021-2030 aims for a 23 % reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared to 1990, and a large increase […]
Cambios en los usos del suelo en la Península Ibérica ante el reto de la descarbonización
The territorial materialization of the energy policy to promote renewable energies is a crucial element commonly forgotten in the fight against climate change. The “clean energy” or “green energy” character of renewables is explained by the fact that they do not generate emissions or waste during the production phase, which does not exempt them from […]
