Selon Christian Couturier, président de l'association négaWatt, la voiture électrique ne révolutionnera pas le secteur des transports en France. En prenant en compte le cycle de vie des voitures actuelles, il plébiscite plutôt l'usage du bioGNV, une solution majeure pour envisager la mobilité de demain.

More and more European Union Member States are recognising the potential value of Open Data and are acting upon it. Open Data portals are in place, increasingly backed by solid Open Data policies. But it is not only the national level that matters. For a successful national Open Data initiative, the whole publication chain should be taken into account. Cities have an important role to play here. Specifically the larger European cities publish a lot of data on topics such as urban planning, tourism, and increasingly real-time data in the transport and mobility area, such as datasets on available parking spots. Moreover, cities also benefit from the use of Open Data to tackle typical urban challenges such as congestion and pollution, and to improve the quality of urban public services and the interactivity between the local government and citizens.

The word Decidim translated from Catalan means we decide, and it's the name of Barcelona's digital infrastructure for participatory democracy. One part functional database and one part political statement, organizers say Decidim is key to a broad digital transformation that is taking place in Barcelona — its institutions, markets, and economy.

The energy infrastructure that we inherited from the 20th century is one dominated by fossil fuels and uranium, mined in relatively few localities in the world. The distribution and refining of these fuels is tightly held by a few large corporations. Electricity generation typically occurs in plants that hold local or regional monopolies, with vast profit potential. While gasoline is burned in millions of vehicles, the distribution system remains within the control of a few corporations, which often have regional or national oligopoly or monopoly control.

The establishment of a carbon-neutral energy system requires massive investments in infrastructure such as wind turbines. Because distributed energy systems do not fit the business models of the old energy utilities, they continue to invest far too little in this sector. Meanwhile, many individual electric power consumers are interested in investing in renewable power infrastructure, but these investments are too large and require a level of expertise too advanced for individual households to be able to support them. How can consumers take matters into their own hands?

Faire se croiser chercheurs et nouvelles formes d’innovation démocratiques… Telle était l’ambition du débat organisé à Super Public, le 8 juin dernier à l’invitation du politiste Loïc Blondiaux (@loicblondiaux), qui signait récemment une tribune plutôt bienveillante à l’égard des « Civic Tech », ces solutions qui réinterrogent la démocratie par le levier de la technologie. Mais quelles sont-elles ces innovations ? De quelle nature sont-elles ? Que proposent-elles ?

In the Annex “Accelerating clean energy in buildings” of the European Commission's legislative proposal “Clean Energy for all Europeans”, the Commission presents possibilities for "smart financing for smart buildings". Besides informing on details of the Investment Plan for Europe and the associated funds, the Commission suggests that financial incentives for the renovation of buildings, provided by public funds, should be linked to the energy savings achieved. This is also foreseen in the current legislative proposal on the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive. This overview article gives a brief overview of the information on financial incentives that is available on BUILD UP and also analyses how financial incentives are currently managed in Germany, France and Greece. Is there a clear link to the energy savings planned or realised?

Loopholes in a draft EU law aimed at curbing global warming emissions from transport, buildings and agriculture will result in a mere 23% cut by 2030 instead of the 30% originally foreseen, environmental activists have warned, denouncing a cynical ploy by EU member states to dodge their pledges made under the Paris Agreement.

From 2000 to 2014, the energy infrastructure of the city of Hamburg was mainly in the hands of private energy monopolies such as Vattenfall and E.On that controlled most of Germany's electric power infrastructure. These companies had a strong interest in utilizing their coal and nuclear power plants as long as possible, thereby obstructing a shift to renewable energy. Moreover, they were reluctant to provide equal access to small power providers and invest in a smart grid that allows more effective management of variable, distributed power inputs.

Heidelberg is known as one of the important university towns of Germany, with its university founded in 1386. Millions of tourists flock to this city to visit its Altstadt (the old city) and the castle, which remained intact through World War II. The location on either side of the Neckar river as it exits the Odenwald hills and enters the Rhine plain adds greatly to the beauty of the city (an excellent video of the river as it enters and exits Heidelberg can be seen here).
