Analyses of Berlin-Brandenburg in Germany shows the prospects of 100 % renewable energy systems here. Industry is an important target in the energy transition, so a model is developed to analyse energy savings potentials. Within the heating sector, much of the individual dwellings in Central and Eastern Europe are impacted by a fuel trap, trapping them between two essentially undesirable options – biomass and natural gas. Also, within the residential sector, a new analysis probes in the feasibility of installing photo voltaics in India, and lastly, an interesting article investigates the local economic and employment effects of increased biofuel production.
