The project ARTEMIS was finished in 2006. For an executive summary please refer to docs.
The aim of this project is to further develop and apply a participatory tool for the multi-criteria evaluation (MCE) of alternative renewable energy scenarios for Austria. The evaluation is performed at different levels (national, local/regional) and involves the compilation of a detailed criteria list for renewable energy technologies (RETs) to assess their socio-economic, environmental and institutional impacts and the social preferences revealed. The national case study will involve representatives from different interest groups and make use of existing renewable energy scenarios from earlier studies. The local/regional case study will be more project-oriented and involve local/regional community stakeholders. We apply the MCE tool PROMETHEE at the national level and Multi-Criteria Mapping at the local level and critically assess their suitability. |

Project Description: Aim
The project aims at the use of existing and the development of new tools for the participatory exploration of scenarios concerning their potential to contribute to sustainable development. The scenarios envisaged will be explored at two different levels:

Project Description: Scope
For a more sustainable development the increased substitution of modern renewable for conventional non-renewable (fossil, nuclear) energy technologies has to play a paramount role. In the energy sector, in particular, new technological developments, which are expected to lead to a shift towards a more decentralised use of energy technologies calls for a more intense participation of stakeholders. For these reasons renewable energy use is chosen as a most interesting and outstanding application for the mapping and participatory decision framework envisaged.
