  1. Climate policy Breda Towards new climate policy

  2. Framework • Evaluation of four years of climate policy • Current energy situation  • Potentials for energy efficiency and renewables • National objectives • Recommendations for new policy

  3. Climate policy, current situation • 4 years of climate policy implementation • Active and frontrunning climate policy • Pilot biodiesel • Sustainable entrepreneurship firms Heat pumps Nieuw Wolfslaar Driving new style Energy agreements Heuvel • Energy conservation in households • SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION COUNTER

  4. Current energy situation Breda

  5. Potential for energy efficiency

  6. Potential for renewable energy • Potential 7,5 % • Especially in the residential and commercial sectors • Solar energy and biomass offer the largest potential

  7. Potentials versus the national objectives • 2% yearly improvement of energy efficiency • Achievable when Breda realizes her efficiency potential in 7 years • 20% renewable energy in the year 2020 • Breda has a potential of 7,5% • 30% reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in the year 2020 • Breda can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 21% • Breda: aim at national objectives

  8. Recommendations for new policy (1) Housing transition: until -80% CO2 • Newly constructed buildings: o.a. biomass plant Teteringen, energy neutral • Existing buildings: -Thorough maintenance / renovation Projects+Agreements with housing associations -Owner-occupied dwellings Advice + offer measures + financing - Promote energy saving behaviour i.c.w. utilities / fitting contractors

  9. Recommendations for new policy (2) Reinforce and promote energy efficiency and renewables within firms: • Expand sustainable enterprises, -15% CO2 • Transport management • Educate and incentivize SME’s

  10. Recommendations for new policy (3) The municipality initiates legal requirements and sets a good example: • Energy conserving public lighting • Energy management • Demonstration installations renewable energy • Purchase green energy

  11. Recommendations for new policy (4) Exploit the potential of renewable energy • Solar energy • Biomass • Heat pumps

  12. Potentials that require further research • The potential of renewable energy options: • co-firing biodiesel for the heat network • energy farming, • deep heat / cold storage • Production processes in companies • Urban traffic and transport
