Objectives
The aim of the project is to develop a systematic plan of research activities to facilitate the establishment of a science based decision support platform for optimal allocation of resources at various scales in order to assure the compliance with the targets of a country for reaching the Sustainable Development Goals under the UN 2030 Agenda. The Romanian case shall be used for validation with the support of the Romanian Government.
Intermediate objectives of the project:
- B1-Creation of a energy/power stream data base for Romania, foundation on which the diagrams of material, power and exergetic will be created on a national level (unavailable at this time);
- B2-The Exergetic Global Footprint (EF) will be calculated at the national level, building up on the basis of the BI objective;
- B3-By adopting the multi-scaling method, the exergetic footprint of a „typical” set of goods will be calculated;
- B4 – Defining a procedure for the exergetic footprint verification (in time and space);
- B5 – Identification and investigating of possible corelations between ecological, local and global indicators. Identifying correlations between EI global and EF;
- B6 – Investigating the project’s implications of an energy transformation system: Technical aspects, thermo-economic and resilience of the national economy;
- B7 – Transcription of the results in the monetary economy used terminology: Benefits regarding the PNB, green gas emissions, power costs at national level, traffic density, air and water quality, the health of the terrestrial and aquatic vegetal and animal life forms.
