An energyshed is defined as that area in which all power consumed within it is supplied within it.
The Energyshed Framework organizes renewable energy systems, the land on which they operate, and the community bound by that energy.
Expedites energy system transition
Is a way of organizing renewable energy so we can promptly divorce from fossil fuels and the impacts of greenhouse gas pollution.
Offers a different paradigm to guide our transition towards renewable energy ecology.
Energyshed geomorphology tracks changes in land use as a function of solar fraction allocation.
Purpose of the Energyshed
The purpose of an energyshed is to provide the functions and structure to harvest and dissipate energy to support life, activity, and productivity throughout the energyshed without polluting the environment above its capacity to assimilate those pollutants.
