The project comprises thirteen partners from eleven European countries: Greece, Germany, Spain, Sweden, Italy, Bulgaria, Romania, Latvia, Cyprus, Austria and Slovenia. SEAP-PLUS aims at the enhancement of the Covenant of Mayors (CoM) results and impacts in both quantitative and qualitative terms by: Bringing more Signatories and Covenant Supporters or Coordinators in the CoM; Assisting them in the preparation of more and better Sustainable Energy Action Plans (SEAPs); Triggering cooperation of Local Authorities with Regional Authorities and Energy Stakeholders and cooperation between experienced and learning CoM participants. More information is available at the project website: www.seap-plus.eu This report is an outcome of Work Package 2 ’Twinning partnerships at regional level’, which divided partners to “experienced” and ”learning” organizations and created twinning pairs to facilitate the exchange of experiences. The aim was to create a common foundation for both experienced and learning European regions to enhance the integration of sustainable energy policies into regional authorities’ operations through capacity building activities. Learning regions became familiar with sustainable development and the Covenant of Mayors initiative, whilst all partners benefited from the transfer of good practices related to the compilation of SEAPs. These included: structure and standard of the content of SEAPs, energy sectors of SEAPs, Baseline Emission Inventory (BEI) methodologies and tools, energy data sources and quality, local and regional policies, important energy measures, SEAP implementation process, stakeholders’ engagement process, internal organization and coordination of municipal climate action, provision of technical support for the preparation and improvement of SEAPs, knowledge transfer etc.. This report has been developed to support regional and local authorities that intend to replicate the SEAP-PLUS twinning process and to further disseminate good practices related to the SEAP development process. The report presents a compilation of good practices and recommendations from the SEAP-PLUS twinning activities and is twofold in its structure: 1. Good practices on energy and climate change: Good practices, methodologies and tools on energy and climate change, which were exchanged during the twinning activities. 2. Good practices on knowledge transfer and process related issues: Good practices of transferring knowledge and experience identified during the twinning process. 4 SEAP-PLUS (IEE/11/978/SI2.615950) 1. GOOD PRACTICES ON ENERGY AND CLIMATE CHANGE 1.1. Energy is Our Future: Enhancing local renewables – 100% renewable energy for the region Römerland Carnuntum Partners: Black Sea Regional Agency for Energy Management and Climate Alliance of Austria Target group: Politicians and/or technical staff of local and regional authorities, Covenant Supporters The town of Bruck an der Leitha (7,700 inhabitants) won the European RES Champions League 2013 in the category of 5,000 – 20,000 inhabitants, a European competition between 10.000 towns and 100 million people in 12 countries. The regional energy agency of Energy Park of Bruck/Leitha was established in 1995 and was the first that made wind measurements in the region. The vision of the organisation is to achieve 100% renewable energy for the whole region Römerland Carnuntum - a climate and energy model region comprising 30 municipalities with 70.000 people - by using exclusively the regional sustainable energy resources (RES) in order to satisfy the regional demand. The main pillars of the philosophy of the region build on the utilisation of all forms of renewable energy sources and a higher transfer of respective knowledge within the region. In 1999 the construction of a biomass plant started in Bruck/Leitha with the installed capacity of 6 MW. The biomass district heating system Bruck/Leitha is organised as cooperation between farmers of the region Bruck/Leitha and the local energy provider for electricity and gas – EVN AG. The farmers are providing fuel for the plant which includes wooden chips, shrubbery from the region and sawmill by-products. They also operate the heating station whereas EVN takes care of the district heating grid, customer relations and invoicing. The

    WELCOME TO STYRIA RAG is Austria’s most traditional oil company with more than 70 years of successful experience in oil and gas exploration and production. If you are a Geoscientist and interested in joining our international and highly motivated team, please contact: Rohoel-Aufsuchungs AG, Schwarzenbergplatz 16 A-1010 Vienna, www.rohoel.at [email protected] ROHÖL-AUFSUCHUNGS AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT 8 Joannea Geol. Paläont. 9: 9-10 (2007) Egerian Deposits from the South-western Part of the Pannonian Basin, Croatia Radovan AVANIĆ, Koraljka BAKRAČ, Mirjana MIKNIĆ & Anita GRIZELJ Egerian deposits occur only in north-western part of Croatia, i. e., Hrvatsko Zagorje Ba- sin (PAVELIĆ et al. 2003). Despite of many researches in that area, the stratigraphy of the Egerian deposits is still not clear. New sedimentological, micropalaeontological and palynological analyses were carried out on the deposits from the lithostratigraphic column at locality Cerje Jesenjsko in Zagorje Basin, in the north-western part of Croatia, in order to define the boundaries between local formations: Meljan Formation (Lower Egerian) and Golubovec Formation (Upper Egerian). The deposits are grouped into three facies: massive to laminated marls and clays, normally graded sands and pyroclastic breccias. Massive to laminated marls and clays dominate in the lower and middle part of the succession. They contain abundant foraminiferal association and numerous dino- cysts. The association of foraminifera Haplophragmoides carinatus, Cribrostomoides subglobosus, Reticulophragmium acutidorsatum, Vaginulinopsis gladius, Bolivina lie- busi, Uvigerina mexicana, Cibicidoides similis, Heterolepa costata, Subbotina cf. ga- lavisi, Globigerina ouachitaensis, Globigerina wagneri and Globigerinella megaperta indicates Egerian age (CICHA et al. 1975; RÖGL et al.
