The deliverable gathers information and capitalize existing tools and strategies for potential assessment of renewables in the areas of the Alpine Space studied with focus on their impact on historic structures. The final energy consumption in building sector has to be sustainably covered by local, renewable energy sources, RES. The report describes strategies and methodologies on different level of scale (from national, regional to local scale), which allows increasing the share of RES, also applicable for historic buildings and sites, exploiting the full potential with practical advice for model regions. The document studies in deep the exploitation possibilities of most important renewable energy sources: Solar (photovoltaic and solar thermal), Wind, Hydroelectric, Hydrothermal, Geothermal and Biomass considering also specificities and new ways to exploit RES by overcoming technical and legal barriers while preserving authenticity of historic buildings and historical settlements to be protected. Direct examples of application in the different countries and regional areas of the Alpine arc that have participated, are shown in this deliverable and in the Annex. The purpose of this Deliverable and of the work done in the information fact-sheets that cover broad regional areas of the Alpine arc -well documented in the Annex to this Deliverable- are to disseminate as widely as possible and capitalize on the best practical experiences on the topic studied, but also to engage as many stakeholders as possible. A focus target audience pre-identified by the project’s partners are local Municipalities, as relevant actors directly or indirectly involved in energy efficiency strategies to huge implement renewable energies in the territory. This project is co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund through the Interreg Alpine Space program. 2 Local RES in the Alpine Space The European Union (EU) is at the forefront of the global energy transformation. Its steadfast commitment and long-term vision combined with today’s cost-effective renewable energy options has enabled the region to nearly double the share of renewable energy from 2005 to 2015. As a result, the EU is on track to meet its 2020 renewables target, and its 2030 target of a 27% share of renewable energy is well within reach. Although impressive progress has been achieved as a result of the ambition and vision of the EU to meet climate targets, more effort will be needed to meet long-term decarbonisation objectives. The EU could cost effectively double the renewable share in its energy mix, from 17% in 2015 to 34% in 2030, according to a new report conducted by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) [1]. IRENA also sees potential for the share of renewable energy in the power sector to rise to 50% by 2030. The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) is an intergovernmental organisation that supports countries in their transition to a sustainable energy future that promotes the widespread adoption and sustainable use of all forms of renewable energy, including bioenergy, geothermal, hydropower, ocean, solar and wind energy. Strong cost savings is expected mostly in solar energies (solar photovoltaic and solar thermal in buildings), wind, hydropower and geothermal power (Figure 1). Figure 1: Renewable energy options to exceed the EU 27% energy target for 2030 (Source: IRENA Report 2018) This project is co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund through the Interreg Alpine Space program. IRENA, has split the renewables potential into three categories: the first category comprises different forms of renewable power generation (wind, solar, hydro, geothermal) as well as solar thermal in buildings. The second category includes electrification of heat and transport by means of heat pumps and electric vehicles (in combination with renewable power generation), as well as biodiesel for transport, solar thermal in industry and geothermal in district heating systems. The third category comprises different forms of biomass use across sectors. The report also mentioned that the accelerated adoption of heat pumps and electric vehicles would result in a substantial increase in the use of electricity in end-use sectors. IRENA’s REmap programme determines the potential for countries, regions and the world to scale up renewables. REmap, global roadmap suggests that renewables can make up 60% or more of many countries’ total final energy consumption (TFEC). In the European Union (EU), the share could grow from about 17% to over 70% [2]. Already in 2018, total renewable energy capacity has grown at a constant rate compared to previous years (more than 26% at the end of 2018) and the number of countries that integrate high shares of variable renewable energy (VRE) continued to increase in recent years, according to the Renewables 2019 Global Status Report (GSR) published by the Renewable Energy Policy Network for the
