This article aims to increase knowledge and find the best practices on how sustainable energy (SE) can be boosted and implemented at a regional level. It presents the main results from the RESGen (RES Generation - from research infrastructure to SE and reduction of CO<SUB align="right"><SMALL>2</SMALL></SUB> emissions) project and the...</small></sub>

The aim of this contribution was to present the integration of renewables into companies' supply-networks at regional level in order to maximise the self-sufficiencies of their energy supplies. This concerns companies' activities from the use of natural resources to supplying their final...
