Introduction
From all findings in the regions and the expert meetings in transnational and regional working
groups (using the expert network that will eventually be transferred to the Baltic Energy
Council - see WP 2) WP 5 will elaborate a guide (Renewable Energy Guide) that shall help
identify all necessary steps that need to be taken when developing new models for
sustainable energy production.
Activities in this field of action also include developing and testing a transnational database
on renewable energy, stating e.g.
basic data on energetic potential of different energy
sources, their sustainability, their environmental impacts, their regional frequencies in
appearance, analyses of the value creation for the region and so on.
This database, together with the guide on model implantations, shall help regions all over the
BSR and beyond:
to rethink their forms of energy production,
to raise awareness for alternative energy,
to lower barriers and
to encourage municipalities and regions to meet European energy standards as
soon as possible.

1. New trends and development in renewable energy technologies on regional/local level
In the section the following technologies are considered:
• Wind • Biomass • Biogas • Solar/PV • Low potential and ambient heat use (heat storage and pumps) • Energy efficiency in buildings (including demand side management, passive
1.1 Describe the most efficient or the most widely/commonly used eco-energy technologies in your region/country 1.2 Based on the results of WP3, evaluate the regional/local energetic potential of chosen technologies 1.3 Please, provide information on
+ number of microinstallations (less than 10kWe)
+ number of medium size installations (more than 10kWe less than 1 MWe)
+ number of large installations (more than 1 MWe)
+ yearly energy production (in GWhel and GJth)

The Directive on RES (2009/28/EEC, articles 17,18 and 19) with a supplementary Report COM(2010) sets out
sustainability criteria for biofuels and sustainability requirements for the use of solid and gaseous biomass
sources in electricity, heating and cooling. These criteria are related to greenhouse gas savings, land with high
biodiversity value, land with high carbon stock and agro-environmental practices. Taking into account EU
guidelines, the document where the principles, criteria and indicators for sustainable production of bioenergy are
formulated has been developed in the frame of the BSR Bioenergy Promotion project (document is published on
the Bioenergy Promotion website – http://www.bioenergypromotion.net/project/publications/task-3.1.-final-report-
on-sustainable-production-of-bioenergy)
2.1 Using the criteria for
sustainable
production of bioenergy
evaluate environmental
impact of eco-energy technologies applied in your country/region
According to the referred document, the parameters of sustainable biomass
production are shown in the figure above. Should we evaluate the impact based on
all of these parameters? Or can we use these criterias:
i. Residues and co-products should be used for energy or other applications in order
ii. If reuse or recycling of waste is not possible, use for energy shall be preferred
iii. The energy input in production, extraction and conversion of biomass to
Gdansk, 13.03.2012
iv. Efficient conversion technologies shall be used
v. Long-distance transports of non-processed raw materials shall be avoided
vi. Use of waste heat shall be encouraged
vii. Combined production of heat, electricity and other products (cooling, steam)
Basically, what i’m saying, is that for evaluating the impact, throrough description of
the evaluation methods and principles should be agreed upon.
2.2 Estimate whether and to what extent the sustainability criteria are considered and
realized in eco-energy projects in your country/region
This is a rather indeterminate question as well and therefore, the answers will be
highly subjective unless relevant indicators are defined beforehand.
3. T
he short analysis of a municipal value creation by using renewable energies
In a municipality value creation doesn´t differ in the basic steps from a company. Some distinctive features need
to be considered in the details. The municipal value creation is part of the global value creation. To separate the
value creation of a municipality it´s necessary to subtract advance payments and resources which are coming
from different regions (Hirschl, et al., 2010, p. 22).
The Institute for Ecological Economic Research (University of Freiburg, Germany) published a scientific
series with the title “Municipal value creation by renewable energies” in September 2010. This study analyses the
connection between establishing companies using renewable energy sources for energy production and the
monetary value creation chains of municipalities. Only effects directly affected by the use of renewable energies
to the region were taken into account. Indirect effects like tourism or none monetary effects like a better image for
the region were left out. Advances not directly assignable from the authors point of view like the production of
glass for solar systems were left out for the value creation chain as well.
Considering this study the municipal value creation basically consists of (Hirschl, et al., 2010, p. 21):
the gained profits (past taxes) of the companies established in the region
the net income of the employees in that region
the fiscal revenue on the basis of the single value creation steps.
3.1. Please try to estimate the gained profits (past taxes) of the companies established in

3.2. Try to estimate the net income of the employees in your region coming from the activities
3.3. Please, estimate the relative fiscal revenue on the basis of the single value creation
