Climate and Energy

Climate and Energy (CE) was a Nordic research project (2003-2006) with funding from the Nordic Energy Research and the Nordic energy sector. The main objective of the project was to make a comprehensive assessment of the impact of climate change on renewable energy resources in the Nordic area including hydropower, wind power, bio-fuels and solar energy. This study included the evaluation of power production and its sensitivity and vulnerability to climate change on both temporal and spatial scales and the assessment of the impacts of extremes including floods, droughts, storms, seasonal pattern and variability.
