Due to the increasing growth of the global economy, the world´s natural resources become depleted. Behind this background, especially the design of sustainable energy systems turns out to be a true challenge. In SESAM — Self Organisation and Spontaneity in Liberalised and Harmonised Markets — we consider that a Internet-based market following an open liberalised model is most likely to provide for a resource conserving energy use. In this article the framework of this market, that is our vision of a sustainable energy system is introduced. Besides, the economic as well as jurisprudential design of the market is presented. Finally a description of the necessary information and communication infrastructure is given.
