The role of energy prosumers in the transition of the Finnish energy system towards 100 % renewable energy by 2050

The act of dominating energy resources undoubtedly permeates the conquest of territories and their respective societies. Energy and geopolitics have always walked conjointly in the process of economic and social development in which societies have been based over the time. The multiplicity of issues that geopolitics gathered helped broaden the spectrum of analysis of geopolitical turning it more complex. This paper has the main objective to contribute for a discussion about the transition from the geopolitics based on the physical space to the geopolitics based on sustainability in which renewable energy has consolidated in the international scenario. The final considerations highlight the quest for energy security requires more than the quest for energy self-sufficiency itself. In addition, the sustainable paradigm introduced in the geopolitics of energy new challenges as the insertion of renewable energy in a context dominated by traditional sources of energy that provokes a reflection on how the challenges related to geopolitics will be dealt with. In that way, China and India appears as a global players. The choice of cooperative dialogues appears as an essential element in the balance of the energy system.

Total Oil

The transportation sector is the second largest final energy consumer after the industry sector. The main energy issue in the transportation sector in Indonesia is the dominant use of oil fuels. Moreover, almost 60% of total oil fuels are being subsidized. On the contrary, the development and application of New and Renwable Energy (NRE) in the transportation sector has not been very successful. This paper applies the Analytical Hirarchy Process (AHP) in conjuction with optimization of the energy system using MARKAL model to select the best strategy for increasing the role of New and Renewable Energy (NRE) in the transportation sector. Three case studies are applied to evaluate the intervention by policy as an effort to increase the role of NRE in the transportation sector.

Renewable Energy Plants

Given the key role of municipalities in the transformation of the energy system and observing the increased occurrence of conflicts about the construction of renewable energy plants, the author analyses conflicts relating to renewable energy plants from a sociological perspective. For this purpose, she undertakes three case studies on the construction of biogas and wind power plants, focusing in particular on the parties involved in the conflicts and their positions, perceptions, actions and potency. She shows that the conflicting parties were either in favour of the construction of the plants or advocated the preservation of the sites on which the plants were proposed to be built.
