  1. Renewable Energies and Climate Protection Policy in Freiburg Dr. Dieter Wörner Director, Environmental Protection Agency City of Freiburg - Germany

  2. Facts and figures • population: 210.000 • area: 155 km² • 42% forest • 50% nature or landscape protection • „Environment Capital“ • „Solar City“ • Solar: 1800 hrs sunshine • Biomass:forestry and farming • Wind:Black Forest hilltops • Hydro: river Dreisam

  3. Objective: climate protection - 5% Traffic Energy Interim Statement2003 Climate action concept in 1,000 tons CO2 equiv. p.a. Freiburg CO2 emissions 2500 Target: CO2-Reduction by + 6% 2000 Traffic - 25% Traffic 1500 Traffic and Energy Target 2010 Energy Energy 1000 500 Scenario2010 Status 1992 0

  4. Fields of action (A) Traffic public transport lines in the Freiburg area: 3,000 km (2003)

  5. Fields of action (B) Energy Goals Sustainable Energy Supply cessation of nuclear energy – climate protection Energy saving * Thermal insulation * Low energy construction * Power saving Renewable Energies *Solar energy *Biomass *Hydro-power *Wind-power *Geothermal energy Efficient Technologies * Co-generation of power and heat * CHP * District heating

  6. Energy saving Advanced low-energy construction (NEH) Roof insulation (20 to 30 cm) • Max. energy consumption: 60 kWh/m² p.a. • Environmental standard as condition of real estate sales contracts • Two entire new districts with low energy construction (Rieselfeld and Vauban) Triple glazed windows basement ceiling insulation Wallinsulation

  7. Efficient technologies Co-generation and district heating combined heat and power generation Balance 1993 2003 Production of electrictiy ca. 3% ca.52% Nuclear power ca. 60% ca.30% CO2-Reduction ca.11%

  8. Solar energy Biomass Hydropower Wind power Council decision (2004):10% electricity from renewables by 2010 Currently: 4% Renewable energies

  9. Renewable energies Solar energy

  10. Renewable energies Solar installations in Freiburg EEG = federal renewable energies support status 31.05.2007 PV: 9.05 MW, output p.a.: 8 m kWh solar thermal: 12,411 m²data source: badenova power company

  11. Renewable energies Wind power • 5 wind mills in total an city area • capacity: 5 x 1.8 MW = 15 million kWh p.a. • electricity supply: 5000 households

  12. Renewable energies Biomass • Biomass co-generation plant Vauban (6,000 population) • Heat and power the entire city district Vauban • Fuel: wood-chips (gas for peak production) • 7000 kW thermic, 345 kW electric

  13. Renewable energies Hydro power

  14. Renewable energies Electricity from renewable energies

  15. Unique accumulation of solar institutions and projects Centre of expertise Network creation as a strategic approach Solar: unique selling position 1st position in „Solar Bundesliga“ contest (2003-2006) Success stories „What is SolarRegion Freiburg ?“

  16. Success stories Solar economy in the Freiburg Region data 2000

  17. Success stories Instruments: People Participation • Citizens as shareholders (investment options, funds) • Green tariffs • Round tables (administration and citizens' groups) • Citizens as technical experts in committees • Social marketing, public relations • Environmental education (schools projects) • Local Agenda 21 • Aalborg commitments

  18. Success stories Technical instruments for renewables promotion • Subsidy programmes (by power company, by the City) • Funding and financing schemes (e.g., „regional power“ electricity label, innovation funds for climate protection ) • Urban development programmes(e.g., Vauban, Rieselfeld; sparking off building industry innovation) • Energy concepts for all new developments and redevelopments • Provision of roofs and other surfaces (PV as second benefit)

  19. Success stories Structural instruments for renewables promotion • Education (schools projects) • Research and development (ISE, Solar University, Solar Info Center …) • Training (skilled trades, technicians) • Technology and knowledge transfer (Italy, Korea …)

  20. Success stories Political consensus in Freiburg • Economy and environment combine as material benefit • Cessation of nuclear energy • Strong municipal influence on energy policy (e.g., foundation of badenova power company) • Supportive framework for intrinsic motivation rather than push and pull
