Mapping and assessment of forest ecosystems and their services : Applications and guidance for decision making in the framework of MAES
- 2015
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The aim of this report is to illustrate by means of a series of case studies the implementation of mapping and assessment of forest ecosystem services in different contexts and geographical levels. Methodological aspects, data issues, approaches, limitations, gaps and further steps for improvement are analysed for providing good practices and decision making guidance. The EU initiative on Mappingand Assessment of Ecosystems and their Services (MAES), with the support of all Member States, contributes to improve the knowledge on ecosystem services. MAES is one of the building-block initiatives supporting the EU Biodiversity Strategy to 2020.

Best available technologies for the heat and cooling market in the European Union
- 2012
-
Rapport (refereegranskat)abstract
- Every year, over 40% of the total energy consumed in Europe is used for the generation of heat for either domestic or industrial purposes whereas the cooling demand is growing exponentially. The importance of the heat and cooling sector is underlined in the EU energy policy initiatives. This emphasize the role of technologies based on renewable energy sources combined with highefficiency energy technologies, to meet the heat and cooling demand in Europe more sustainably in the future. In this context, the JRC led study, which was undertaken with two partners1, to identify the current best available technologies (BATs) which can contribute to improve the energy efficiency and reduce the CO2 emission in the heat and cooling market in the EU

Heat and cooling demand and market perspective
- 2012
-
Rapport (refereegranskat)abstract
- In order to fully understand the national potentials for cogeneration, it is essential to identify the existing and prospective demand of heat and cooling by sector. A study will be performed on a MS level to describe the demand of heat and cooling by different sectors (i.e. industrial, residential), demand types (different temperatures) and supply technologies. This work aims to analyze the current situation and future trends of heat and cooling demand in the EU, as well as, the use and availability of industrial. Within each sector the demand will be presented for different segments. The focus is to map the demand of heat and cooling on temperature intervals possible to be supplied by district heating, district cooling or CHP. In order to capture the characteristics of heat, heat is split into different types; space heating, warm water, cooking, and industrial heat. For cooling, space cooling is the main type applicable to district cooling

Integration methods for Marine Strategy Framework Directive’s biodiversity assessments
- 2021
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This report reviews the integration methods for MSFD biodiversity assessments under Descriptor 1 for species that are not covered by the Habitats Directive and are not commercial fish assessed under Descriptor 3 and used in Descriptor 1 assessments. It was carried out by experts from the MSFD Biodiversity expert network, which is coordinated by the JRC. It constitutes a knowledge base to support MSFD Article 8 assessments by evaluating the methods to integrate assessments of species at different levels: i) criteria to species, ii) species to species group, and iii) species groups/species to ecosystem component. Real data and realistic estimates were used to provide a robust evaluation of the main MSFD integration approaches, i.e. one out all out, proportional method, averages, weighted averages, and conditional rules. Results show that integration methods have advantages and disadvantages depending on the level of integration, the species group (including threatened species), and the available indicators for primary and secondary criteria. Therefore, different scenarios are proposed and evaluated from criteria to ecosystem components, for fish and bird species groups. To conclude, a common integration approach is feasible, when it is based on the commonly agreed ecological impact of each D1 criterion to the species groups, and can be used in all regions.
