Abstract

Towards the development of “ sustainable” energy concepts, the advanced utilisation of renewable energy sources (RES) in an effective production, environmentally friendly and economically viable matter has an increasing role in the formulation of national and/or regional energy chains. The work is focused in Western Balkan countries, namely Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia and the Serbia and Montenegro. Aim of the paper is to present the work carried out in the frame of the European Commission project entitled “ Advanced Decentralised Energy Generation Systems in Western Balkans” (Contract No INCO-CT-2004-509187). The work deals with the identification of RES potential, in terms of availability and the specific characteristics of each type taking into account biomass, wind, hydro and solar. Regional maps of power production sources are developed with respect to the technologies used and the particularities of power demand side focusing on decentralised schemes. The different technological concepts were assessed in terms of their prospects and barriers for regional / local applications taking into account the local and EU available technologies.

13. The driving factors of CO2emissions from electricity generation in Greece: an index decomposition analysis

Abstract

The present paper investigates the driving factors of CO2emissions from electricity generation in Greece during the period 2005-2012 and compares the revealed trends with those recorded in EU-28. The analysis focuses on the following determinant factors: a) economic growth; b) electricity intensity of the economy; c) electricity trade; d) fuel mix; e) efficiency of electricity generation. By using a decomposition analysis based on the Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index-I (LMDI-I) method, the effect of each factor is calculated under the ceteris paribusassumption. The obtained results show that in times of economic growth, changes in the fuel mix and the more efficient use of electricity in the economy have retained the upward trend of emissions, while the economic downturn has driven emissions down but at the same time it contributed to a less efficient use of energy resources in power generation and in the final demand sectors.
