Sustainable Energy Scenarios for the Baltic Sea Region

Europe is facing a serious energy challenge: fuel supplies most be secured and greenhouse gas emissions reduced significantly while maintaining a high level of economic growth.

 

The Baltic Sea Region has a significant potential for developing regional projects to benefit the region as a showcase for sustainable energy development and becoming frontrunners in innovative solutions through regional cooperation.

 

Enhanced regional energy cooperation
Together with the Baltic Development Forum, Ea Energy Analyses has conducted a study on enhanced regional energy cooperation in the Baltic Sea Region. In Phase 1, the study gives a brief overview of the energy situation in the Baltic Sea Region and presents two general scenarios for the energy and transport sectors to comply with the strategic energy and climate goals. In Phase 2, detailed scenario analyses of the electricity and district heating markets have been made. The study is a multi-client study, financed by the Nordic Council of ministers, the Nordic Council, the Baltic Development Forum and the Mads Clausen Foundation, Danfoss.

 

With support from the sponsors, the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Nordic Council of Ministers' Information Office in Kaliningrad, the Baltic Development Forum and Ea Energy Analyses are preparing a report Sustainable Energy Scenarios - Energy perspectives for the Kaliningrad Region as an integrated part of the Baltic Sea Region. A preliminary version of this report was presented and discussed at the Baltic Development Forum Summit, 1-2 June 2010 in Vilnius. The outcome of the discussions as well as comments and corrections from stakeholders will be reflected in the final report.
