Abstract
12 % of the total EU energy consumption will by 2010, be covered by renewable energy sources. This is the objective that the Community agreed on in its White Book on "renewable energies ". At the same time, an European-wide action plan has been set up. In order to achieve these goals, local communities do need to contribute actively to this. The City of Cork acts therefore in the fields of research and promotion of these energy sources. The focus is currently on geothermal energy and the use of landfill gas for a combined heat and power implementation. But other initiatives are being considered and studied as well.
