Renewable Energy in Practice. The Ashton Green Community Concept

Academic Paper from the year 2006 in the subject Environmental Sciences, grade: 2, , language: English, abstract: In this report, the options of the project by the Ashton Green community, that aims at an integrated and sustainable energy service approach, are introduced and evaluated. Being on the global agenda, CO2 reduction influences a vast amount of policy areas. Brought down to national and local levels renewable energies have great potentials to reduce carbon emissions. An example of a renewable energy approach is the Ashton Green Project in Leicester, UK. While planning a sustainable community the energy demand is planned to be met entirely by renewable energy generation.
