Abstract

The prices of energy are increasing and will do so in the future, mainly caused by a growing scarcity of fossil resources. High energy-prices will have severe impacts on society. For instance, the heating of a house or the costs for transportation will increase to a level, which affects daily life of all people. Those people, who live a long way from their work, own badly insulated houses and have low incomes are the first to notice difficulties. Part of the solution is to decrease the dependency on fossil energy resources. Only then the forces relation with high prices can be loosened. The way to decrease dependency on fossil resources is the production of sustainable energy at a local level, use this energy and, if there is a surplus deliver energy to the grid and earn money with it. In order to optimise the local energy production knowledge on the local energy potentials is required. The methodology of energy potential mapping (EPM) gives insight in the most efficient combination of sustainable resources, which can be used at a certain location. Because this mapping is area specific and gives the combination of energy resources, it is the key to spatial planning and design. Based on the energy-mix the design of landscapes and urban areas can be conducted.

Notes

  1. 1.

    1In his speech to the Dutch industry – Aalsmeer, 14th of October 2008 – former US Vice-President Al Gore referred to this by ‘the super grid’ onto which everyone can upload and download energy and which should be connected to centralized solar plants in deserts.

  2. 2.

    2This will be discussed further on.

  3. 3.

    Here we talk not about agricultural or industrial land, but about the one, which has spatial purposes.

  4. 4.

    Various parties were involved in this project funded by Energy Valley, such as the Dutch provinces of Drenthe, Fryslân and Groningen, Delft University of Technology, Groningen University, Bosch Slabbers landscape architects and Stegenga Workshop for Urban Design.
