• Comments? o titleo texto layouto …

• NENET energy agency (Norrbotten region, Sweden): We suggest that you use “energy use” instead of “energy consumption “since energy can neither be produced nor consumed. We know that this term is often used, but still it is wrong. We can talk about electricity consumption, oil consumption (since the electricity or oil is destroyed) etc,  but the energy is never gone. What really is gone is the quality in the energy (some people refer this to exergy, others to increased disorder also called entrophy).

Brochure next version 2014

Time frame: data collection in summer 2014 > publication in December 2014

Valentin Lyant (PACA): what about the GHG emissions from the energy transformation activities? In our region, we have 4 refinery and 3 power plant working with gas and coal representing 5millions teq co2. It’s clearly a lack in the data. Pierrick (RAEE): (we have suggested to simplify the excel file as much as possible. Our idea was besides to adopt a demand-side approach, and thus to consider the final energy consumption and associated GHG emissions. We could consider adding a column to count this, but I am not sure all of us will have relevant figures on it. I would thus suggest to keep it in mind for the next version ? Stéphane François (Franche-Comté): To clarify the reporting format for Energee Watch, maybe we could consider adding a table in the file with the UNFCCC CRF (Common Reporting Format) consider adding a table in the file with the UNFCCC CRF (Common Reporting Format) categories list and the match to reporting categoriescategories list and the match to reporting categories? And even if everybody will not provide consumptions/emissions for each of those subcategories, each entity could at least list the sectors that are effectively included in the overall regional data provided? That could be valuable information on the level of completeness of the data and tell us more about the reliability of the comparisons / graphs maybe in the document.

Mr. Zollner, ICLEI Europe

CORDEX - Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment (project of the WCRP Group on Regional Climate) is providing global coordination of Regional Climate Downscaling for improved regional climate change adaptation and impact assessment.

Partnership between WCRP (World Climate Research Programme), European Commission and IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change),

Biograce project (IEE, 2010-2012)Dealt with the harmonization of GHG emission calculations of biofuels throughout the EU. Tools were designed to make and verify own biofuel GHG calculations.
