The role of local energy communities to reduce carbon emissions in the urban built environment
In recent years, a rapid increase in the adoption of renewable energy sources and in the transition from a centralized electricity generation system to an increasingly distributed one has occurred. Within this scenario, in line with the European directives for achieving the objectives in the field o...

| description | In recent years, a rapid increase in the adoption of renewable energy sources and in the transition from a centralized electricity generation system to an increasingly distributed one has occurred. Within this scenario, in line with the European directives for achieving the objectives in the field of energy transition and climate change, energy communities are seen as potential contributors. [1] The article is analyzing the role of energy communities in combating climate change and transitioning to a low-carbon economy. These communities significantly contribute to reducing carbon emissions by replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy sources. Community-managed projects reduce energy consumption and promote sustainable practices through awareness programs and investments in energy savings. Technical, financial, and social innovations are essential for an efficient transition to sustainable energy. Rising energy costs highlight the instability of the current system and the need to transition to renewable sources. EU legislation adopted in 2019 supports these initiatives, facilitating the co-production and distribution of renewable energy. |
