a b s t r a c tHern ad Valley is one of the most underdeveloped areas of Hungary in social, infrastructural and economic aspects. At the same time, there are significant reserves regarding the bio-energy sector, energy investments and local raw material production. The biomass potential of the underdeveloped areas is tremendous (125,000 t/year, its energy value 25e28 M EUR/year), but quite difficult to exploit since the implementation of efficient energetic procedures is made very difficult by the indifference or resistance of the local population or the lack of capital (either on the part of the local authorities or the investors) which would be necessary to finance the improvements.During our three-year-long research, we collected the most significant social, economic and fitomass production data of the examined settlements based on statistical resources and our own personal research. Based on the size and location of biomass data, we recommended sample projects which most probably could be operated economically, could produce the highest added value and could retain most of the produced value in the area. Based on a statistically reliable amount of data, we present the awareness and acceptance of the biomass energetic procedures and how much these factors would affect the implementation of the recommended projects.

“…In Tartu (Estonia) the capacity to obtain bioethanol with urban waste was valued, and it is determined that 93% of the fuel demand for public transport can be replaced [59]. In Mar del Plata (Argentina), 4.36% of electricity can be supplied from urban forest waste [62]. In Tijuana (Mexico), 40% of the artificial lighting can be supplied with biogas from landfills [64].…”

The Role of Renewable Energy in the Promotion of Circular Urban Metabolism

Cities are human creations requiring large amounts of materials and energy. Constant consumption of resources exerts pressure on the environment not only due to its exploitation, but also because once processed, the resources produce waste, emissions or effluents. Cities are responsible for more than three quarters of the emissions of greenhouse gases. It is anticipated that the urban population will increase by up to 80% by the mid-21st century, which will make the current energy model unsustainable, as it is based on the intensive use of fossil resources. A change in urban planning is required to meet the energy requirements of cities. Several studies mention that renewable energy must be used in cities, but they do not identify the resources and technologies that can be used to promote circular urban metabolism. A review of the literature establishes that there are eleven renewable technologies with different degrees of maturity that could reduce the import of energy resources, which would contribute to changing the metabolic linear model into a circular model. However, the applicability of the different possibilities is conditional upon the availability of resources, costs, policies and community acceptance.

“…In Mar del Plata, Argentina, it was established that the use of forest residues (from pruning urban trees and garden maintenance) could supply 4·36% of the energy demand (Roberts et al, 2015). In Tijuana, Mexico, it was estimated that landfill gas can provide 40% of the required electricity for public lighting services (Aguilar-Virgen et al, 2014), whereas in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 25% of the city's energy could be supplied by burning urban solid waste (de Souza et al, 2014).…”

Previous research has identified 11 technologies that use resources that are available in or come from cities. It has been established that using these technologies, the flows from energy carriers required by cities could be reduced. These carriers can be electricity or fuels. Of the identified technologies, eight can produce electricity: biomass, biodigestor biogas, landfill biogas, waste incineration, tidal, small wind, small hydroelectric and photovoltaic technologies. The use of these technologies depends on the existence of resources and technical, economic and social or environmental factors. This research proposes the use of multiple-criteria techniques to select the most appropriate options for promoting renewable energy in cities. This approach was applied to the medium-sized city of Cuenca in Ecuador. Ecuador is a developing country, is an oil producer and has important water resources. The authors concluded that studies of the potential for implementing hydroelectric and solar photovoltaic energy and energy from landfill gas should be extended. The results coincide with the existing resources, implemented projects and the expectations of local professionals.
