Goals By x increase in Wind extraction - 10% of total energy from Biofuels - Solar heating can be incresed ”singificantly” - Lower Energy Consumption - More Nuclear Energy
Energy Trends PAST Resource exchange and trading Wood, coal, oil, oil shale, food Technology exchange Windmills, sailing, dams, hydro-powered mills Labour exchange and trade Work force, slaves, animals PRESENT Resource exchange and trading: Biofuels, wind energy, hydro-power, nuclear energy, oil, oil shale Technology exchange: Education Exchange: NordPlus,Erasmus, Chaine de Rotisseurs Process Optimization Logistics Efficiency Labour exchange and trade: Free labour movement through Schengen and EU agreements FUTURE Resource exchange and trading: Renewable Electricity: Hydro-Power, Wind-Power, Geothermal energy, Solar Energy, Tidal energy, electricity through water chemistry, Biofuels Interconnected electricity network Technology exchange: Creative Commons / GNU Virtual Schooling Cooperation projects: Process Optimization Labour exchange and trade: Changes in consumerism (voluntarily & through price rise) Outsourcing of Heavy Industry COMMON GOALS
NB8 Council of Wise Men conclusions - Historical similarities and harmonized cultures - Union of Nordic-Baltic Eight is aiming towards carbon free society with high living standards until Cooperation in energy and industrial production, shared enegry & technological networks, defence, financial and environmental policies - Results: More efficient processes, less losses from the grids, flexible and scattered small scale energy production, from heavy to complex industries
