Innovating urban energy
The paper by Arup analyses the impact of key urban drivers on different energy scenarios and recommends key innovations. [It] assesses the concept of urban energy and how innovation paired with smart technology can be one factor of many to improve the energy in cities. More than half of the global population now lives in a city – cities account to over half of global energy consumption and. However, new solutions and opportunities are emerging which can enable cities – and energy actors in cities – to address these challenges in new and potentially more effective ways.
This paper…explores a selection of emerging and potential innovations for urban energy:
- Transactive energy
- City action networks
- Integrated energy planning
- Hydrogen economy
- Financing energy action
