Tiivistelmä
University of Turku, Finland Futures Research Centre organized the 19th Futures Conference on 13–14 2018 in Tampere, Finland, under the title “Energizing Futures – Sustainable Development and Energy in Transition’’. This publication is the proceedings of the Energizing Futures 2018 conference.
To understand the challenges of the ongoing energy transition process, we need multidisciplinary, multi-level and time-variant analysis of various issues: renewable and non-renewable energy (re)sources, transforming primary energy into energy carriers (fuels, electricity, and heat), energy technologies, impacts (environmental, social, economic, institutional, cultural, etc.) of energy use, energy exports and imports, energy markets and energy price, energy end-use patterns and consumer behavior, energy and resource efficiencies, energy policies, and energy governance. The questions presented for contributions into this conference included the following ones: What are the main challenges of sustainable energy futures in an era of increasing uncertainty?; How to create sustainable energy policies in Europe, and elsewhere in the World?; What is the role of futures studies in identifying opportunities for a fair, efficient and resilient energy system?
The aim of the “Energizing Futures” was to generate multidisciplinary, stimulating and critical discussions that promotes networking between people from different backgrounds with a common interest towards energy and sustainability in the Future. The conference was supported by the European Commission via the EU Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme under the Grant Agreement No. 649342 EUFORIE. The conference was an important dissemination channel for the results generated in the project “European futures of energy efficiency” (EUFORIE), coordinated by the University of Turku. The conference had a large number of presentations under thematic sessions, and only a part of these presentations are included in this publication. These 14 articles give an useful insight on the large variety of topics dealt with in the Energizing Futures 2018 conference. They are grouped under three major themes: Theory and practice of energy efficiency (five articles), Energy transition in developing countries (four articles) and Energy futures (five articles).
