Devant l’enjeu croissant que revêtent l’agriculture urbaine et les politiques alimentaires, les initiatives des collectivités se multiplient. En tant qu’association d’élus des grandes villes, métropoles et grandes intercommunalités, France urbaine a conduit, tout au long de l’année 2017, une réflexion sur le thème de l’agriculture et de l’alimentation. Réalisée en partenariat avec le ministère de l’Europe et des Affaires étrangères, Vivapolis et la Caisse des dépôts, cette réflexion a abouti à la réalisation d’une publication intitulée : « Villes, agriculture et alimentation : expériences françaises ». Trente collectivités, parmi lesquelles l’ensemble des vingt-deux métropoles, ont pris part à ce travail de recensement des stratégies alimentaires territoriales et des projets les plus innovants dans le domaine de l’agriculture urbaine et péri-urbaine.

L'investissement d'un montant de 17 millions d’euros est alimenté essentiellement en bois local (12 000 tonnes par an, surtout des déchets de l’industrie forestière et des taillis agricoles). « Les chaudières bois représenteront 85 à 87 % de notre production, explique Jean-Marc Verchère, adjoint au maire et président d’Alter services, le gestionnaire de la nouvelle structure. En complément, nous avons prévu deux chaudières à gaz, pour faire face aux périodes de pics de consommation ».

The (much) higher use of loans and guarantees foreseen in the MFF post-2020 will produce significant changes in the management model of EU funding, and could even herald a structural evolution in the European project as a whole, write Francesco Molica and Nikos Lampropoulos.

The investment case for low-carbon energy is strong: increased economic growth and jobs, reduced transition risks, and the most cost-effective pathway to realising the goals of the Paris Agreement. Why, then, are EU energy ministers so reluctant to provide the legislative framework required to shift the trillions? writes Stephanie Pfeifer.

Europe is currently in the first stage of photovoltaic solar development. Moving to the next phases, 2.0 and 3.0, will require a smart new Green Deal that avoids the “boom-and-bust” developments of the past and leverages private investment to achieve high renewable energy goals, writes Stefan Degener.

The World Economic Forum’s Future of Urban Development and Services Initiative has released its new whitepaper on Collaboration in Cities: From Sharing to ‘Sharing Economy’ . This report demystifies the new sharing economy vocabulary, explains key drivers for sharing, and the opportunities for cities to engage and drive sharing practices. It also explores how cities can leverage the potential of the sharing economy in use of municipal goods, spaces, and civic assets such as the talents and skills of city residents.

District heating and cooling (DHC) combined with renewable energy sources can help meet rising urban energy needs, improve efficiency, reduce emissions and improve local air quality. Although currently dominated by fossil fuels such as coal and gas, DHC systems can be upgraded, or new networks created, to use solid biofuel, solar and geothermal energy technologies.

En lien avec la révision des deux outils majeurs de pilotage de la transition énergétique française que sont la Programmation pluriannuelle de l’énergie (PPE) et la Stratégie nationale bas carbone (SNBC), les scénarios publiés en octobre 2017 par RTE dessinent un paysage de possibles à l’horizon 2035 riche de très importants enseignements. L’effervescence médiatique autour de cette publication n’a malheureusement mis en évidence qu’une supposée impossibilité de respecter l’objectif 50 % de nucléaire en 2025 tout en contenant les émissions de CO2. Pourtant d’autres voies existent. Dans cette note de deux pages, l’Association négaWatt propose une analyse des scénarios publiés par RTE dans son bilan prévisionnel 2017.

To date, the Renewable Energy Directive has been a key obstacle to achieving waste policy objectives. If the EU is serious about the transition towards a circular economy, it is crucial that incentive schemes for renewables encourage separate collection and recycling, writes Janek Vahk.
