Implementation of renewable energy and the estimation of carbon footprint in the municipality of Blanca (Murcia)
Abstract
The introduction of the concept of sustainability in the energy market involves a development of renewable energies, and activating the policies that promote their introduction. The success of these policies takes the form of an increase of renewable energy in the energetic mix, in the reduction of CO2 emissions and in the enforcement of these obligations internationally.
This work analyses the degree of the introduction of renewable energy in a municipality of the region of Murcia (Blanca), assessing the effect of the energy sector laws and estimating the carbon footprint of the consumption of electrical energy.
