Switch to locally available renewable energy sources

Members from our department (José Campos and Béla Munkácsy) co-authored the paper that appeared in Nature Communications. The study points out that the role of the human factor has so far been vastly underestimated (if taken into account at all) in energy strategies. The international project, a collaboration of 26 research groups (including the Department of Environment and Landscape Geography of ELTE TUT and the Environmental Planning and Education Network), is based on a European energy model that demonstrates that the European Union could fully switch to locally available renewable energy sources in all energy sectors by 2050!
