The application of a methodology for integrated energy‐emissions control planning in a large Swedish community is described. The procedural aspects of the methodology have been discussed elsewhere, the description therefore concentrates on the technical analysis of the community energy system and the joint tasks of developing this system and controlling the emissions from it. Examples of technical issues that have been investigated are: local electricity production through cogeneration, the impact on emissions and on the local electricity production of the introduction of natural gas, conflicts between cogeneration and heat production from municipal waste incineration and between cogeneration and energy conservation in areas with district heating, local emissions budgets accounting for the emissions associated with import and export of electricity to or from the community, and the effects of different emissions control policy instruments such as ‘bubbling’ or emissions fees. The most important tool for the technical analysis is the IEA‐MARKAL technical energy system model.
