More than a million Europeans are united in these REScoops to jointly invest in the energy transition from fossil and nuclear fuels to renewable energy and energy efficiency. There are many more Europeans at home who are also committed to reaching this goal in their daily lives. They are investing in insulation, solar water heaters, in photovoltaic panels (PV panels), electrical mobility, … Five REScoops from four countries teamed up with their European federation REScoop.eu in the framework of the European Union’s Horizon 2020 programme. Between December 2015 and February 2019 they achieved the goals set in their Project Development Assistance (PDA) project as shown in this illustration and created tools for themselves and other groups of citizens to accelerate the energy transition. This project ran in parallel with the process of designing new EU-directives on energy: the Clean Energy for All Europeans package. This recognises EU citizens and their collective projects are essential stakeholders in tackling climate change. This booklet also highlights how the project partners responded to this.

Five renewable energy co-ops from four EU member states linked renewable energy projects to energy efficiency, fostered collaborations with cities and municipalities and set up a financial tool to help other REScoops overcome initial financing obstacles. Besides the five renewable energy coops — Ecopower (BE), Courant d’Air (BE), Enercoop (FR), Energy4All (UK) and Som Energia (ES) — the European federation REScoop.eu was also an active partner for the communication about the project, the dissemination of its results among its members, municipalities and European citizens in general and the advocacy about citizen energy communities towards the European Commission, the European Parliament and EU member states. 9 The main ambitions of REScoop MECISE as a Project Development Assistance project were met: • an investment portfolio was created, leading to almost €110 million investments in renewable energy projects (wind, photovoltaics, biomass, hydro) and energy efficiency, and over 50.000 extra EU citizens joining the REScoops involved; • 48 local municipalities were supported in implementing their sustainable energy action plans (SEAPs) by taking energy efficiency measures in public buildings, by helping them to accelerate the energy transition; • a service to help citizens implement energy efficiency investments in their homes was set up, tested and is operational now; • a dedicated financing tool to help local energy cooperatives finance their renewable energy sources (RES) and energy efficiency (EE) projects was created and is operational now: REScoop MECISE sce. In addition to these formal objectives, the partners actively contributed to advocacy so that in the new Renewable Energy Directive and Energy Market Directive active citizens and their renewable energy communities get a definition and the right to take up an active role in the energy transition as demonstrated in the REScoop MECISE project. As a result the project allowed the partner-REScoops not only to accelerate their efforts in renewable energy and to link these projects to energy efficiency but also to provide citizens, community energy initiatives and local authorities with good practices, permanent tools and a legal EU framework to allow them to accelerate the energy transition and help to keep climate change under control from bottom up. 10 CONTEXT OF THE RESCOOP MECISE HORIZON 2020 PROJECT WHAT DID LIBERALISATION OF THE ENERGY MARKET BRING? by Dirk Vansintjan Europe’s energy sector has been undergoing a steady process of profound transformation over the past three decades. At the heart of this transformation has been market opening and liberalisation, leading to the separation of activities (generation, supply, distribution and transmission) across the energy value chain. Liberalisation has been sold as a solution to promote competition, cost-efficiency and, ultimately, lower prices and consumer choice. Indeed, liberalisation and technological advances in clean energy technologies have allowed for the entry of

ALGEMEEN In dit wetenschappelijk verslag van de Onderzoeksschool Ius Commune is de productie over de jaren 2005, 2006 en 2007 opgenomen. De verslaglegging vindt hier plaats per subprogramma. Achtereenvolgens zijn dat de program- ma's: Algemeen verbintenissen- en contractenrecht; Europees personen-, fami- lie- en erfrecht; Goederenrecht; Aansprakelijkheid en verzekering; Grensover- schrijdend milieurecht; Rechtspersonen in Europa; Grondslagen en beginselen van burgerlijk procesrecht in Europa; Publiekrechtelijke rechtsvergelijking; Constitutionele processen in Europa en Constitutionele processen in de interna- tionale rechtsorde. De aan de Onderzoeksschool verbonden geassocieerde (deel)programma’s Fis- cale vraagstukken in de interne markt en Intellectuele eigendom zijn eveneens opgenomen in dit verslag. B. UITGANGSPUNTEN VOOR VERSLAGLEGGING I. Algemeen In dit verslag wordt onderscheid gemaakt tussen proefschriften, wetenschappe- lijke publicaties, vakpublicaties en annotaties. Het gehanteerde onderscheid is gebaseerd op de door de VSNU in haar Protocol 1998 ontwikkelde criteria voor beoordeling van het wetenschappelijk onderzoek. Bij de overzichten van publi- caties is afgezien van het opnemen van een rubriek ‘Overige producten van we- tenschappelijke activiteiten’ (redacteurschappen, lezingen, gastcolleges, etc.). Annotaties – geen officiële categorie binnen genoemde indeling – zijn groten- deels apart opgenomen. Sommige annotaties in met name enkele Belgische tijdschriften hebben echter een omvang en kwaliteit die opneming in de catego- rie ‘wetenschappelijke publicatie’ rechtvaardigen. Publicaties die volgens de VSNU-normen niet anders dan als vakpublicatie kunnen worden gekwalifi- ceerd (o.a. bijdragen aan losbladige uitgaven, aan praktijkuitgaven, etc.) wor- den als zodanig aangeduid. Volgens de VSNU-criteria wordt een publicatie als wetenschappelijk aange- merkt wanneer deze voldoet aan het criterium ‘increasing the body of academic knowledge’.

  • 12-BÜTGENBACH the High Fen – a Borderless World of Water Water Is
    12-BÜTGENBACH The High Fen – a borderless world of water Water is the decisive element in the High Fen landscape. Many streams and rivers have their source here, fed by the excess water draining off the high moors that have formed over millennia since prehistory and the ice ages. This gigantic sponge is, in its turn, nourished by plentiful rainfall, hail and snow. The intensity of precipitation up here is due to a geo-climatological peculiarity. The High Fen is the first significant altitude that winds driving heavy, wet cloud from the English Channel must encounter on their way eastward. Here the moist air mass is forced to rise and cool off dramatically, thus condensing out the water vapour to fall as rain, hail or snow. Annual precipitation here is between 1400 and 1700 millimetres per annum, almost entirely in the months between autumn and spring. In comparison, the rain-rich North of Luxembourg, not so far away, only receives 900 millimetres. This means that the climatic situation is generally fair for cyclists between spring and autumn, at least with regard to water from above. But these are also ideal conditions for the water bubbling up from below, which serves on certain cycle routes in the higher reaches of the Fen as a permanent and refreshing accompaniment. The High Fen, a giant cistern, supplies its rivers all around Countless rivulets and brooks begin their journey in the High Fen, linking up with one another until by and by you have a river. Among the brooks and streams that leave the source area of the High Fen in different directions are: the Soor and the Gileppe to the north; the Ru de Dison, the Sawe and the Satte to the west; the Hoëgne to the south-west, with the Bayehon and the Ru des Trôs Marets heading south; while the Rur, the Hill, the upper Weser and the Getzbach all run east.

  • Belgium's Energy Future
    Horizon 238 - https://horizon238.org/ [email protected] Mr. Prime Minister Alexander De Croo, 16, rue de la Loi, 1000 Brussels Subject: Belgium’s energy future Mr. Prime Minister, We are writing to you as Belgian citizens, concerned about preserving a prosperous and sustainable world for future generations, and worried about Belgium's current energy trajectory. Our country is about to make a decision that will irreversibly shape its energy landscape for decades to come, and which will undoubtedly become one of the most significant chapter of your government’s legacy. It is therefore essential for the issues at stake and their consequences to be fully grasped. Energy is more than a monthly bill. It is the foundation of our society and the cornerstone of our economy. Its abundance led to our current quality of life, emancipated our society, and shaped the world as we know it today. Limiting the environmental impact of the energy we consume in a sustainable energy transition is an immeasurable challenge: CO2 emissions need to be reduced by 55% by 2030 compared to 1990, and carbon neutrality must be achieved by 2050. The IPCC made it clear in its sixth assessment report1 published in early August: it is code red for humanity. We, Belgian citizens, emitted 90 million tons of CO2 in 20192. This number has not changed over the last five years. To achieve this, our dependence on fossil fuels must come to end. Fossil fuels still accounted for more than 80% of Belgium's total energy consumption in 20193. Yet the climate priority dictates the need to leave fossil fuels in the ground and to use alternative low-carbon energy sources: renewables are an option for sure; and so is nuclear energy.
