  • Summary

    Supplying cities with sustainable energy is a major challenge as this requires deep transformation of the supply infrastructure in order to reduce energy waste and rely on local renewable energy sources.  Building such a sustainable energy system requires a sound understanding of its entire supply chain and conversion steps from resources to final use so as to identify savings potential and prioritise actions. This chapter presents a systematic approach to assess the sustainability of energy systems that enables decision makers to build evidence-based strategies and take informed measures towards carbon neutral cities.
