Abstract

To reach the objective of increasing the proportion of renewable energies in Europe by 2010 to 12%, means giving more importance to wood-energy, for both heating and electricity. Wood and its forest byproducts are largely available, but the investment needed to make full use of them is preventing greater mobilization. Nevertheless, some municipalities are working along these lines: including Dole, which brought two wood-fired boilers into service in 1998.

Keywords: Municipal buildings and facilities

This case study was produced by Energie-Cités with the cooperation of the Dole (FR) Town Hall management and Franche Comté ADEME and the technical and the financial backing of the European Commission (DG XVII) as part of the ALTENER programme
