A way to do so is by integrating renewable energy sources (RES) into an energy system's power generation. However, there is no standard procedure to decarbonise a locally restricted system. Therefore, the various local conditions have to be analysed and taken into consideration. The authors propose a model-based approach to decarbonise the energy system of the island F{\"o}hr, Germany. This includes various collected data sets on local conditions such as climate data and heat and power demand. The data is used to represent the island's energy system and design a model-based solution in a simulation software. The authors identify potentials by comparing costs and revenues by addressing the deployment of different RES technologies. One finding is that heat generation causes 91 \% of CO2 emissions making it the major producer. However, with the designed solution, emissions could be reduced to a third.}, language = {en} }
