  1. Copenhagen Climate Plan Carbon Neutral by 2025 Hanne Christensen Environmental Department, Technical and Environmental Administration City of Copenhagen

  2. 2025 Carbon Neutral Copenhagen Copenhagen Climate Plan Approved by the City Council in August 2009 50 initiatives in 6 focus areas • 2015 20 % CO2-reduktion • Reduction of 20% CO2 from 1990-2005 • BNP has increased by app. 66% in the same period

  3. CO2-emissions 2005 • 20% reduktion equals a reduction from app. 2.500.000 tons to 2.000.000 tons CO2

  4. 50 initiatives in 6 focus areas

  5. Energy production in Copenhagen District heating system since 1915 98% of households connected Combined Heat and Power Plants (CHP) Waste management systems (Amagerforbrænding) Wind turbines on the Middelgrund

  6. Energy supply initiatives towards 2015 Biomass: Converting existing coal CHP to biomass Preparing a new biomass based CHP Other renewable energy sources: Wind turbines – in Copenhagen and outside Geothermal heat – expansion of existing plant Energy efficiency: Efficiency at incineration plants Lower temperature in the district heating system District cooling systems based on surplus heat Converting steam to water in the district heating system

  7. Towards carbon neutral Energy supply 2025 Energy supply More renewable energy Integrated energy system Fluctuating energy sources Heat and electricity storage Waste Eliminate the fossil content in waste Energy demand Energy savings Energy efficiency Retrofitting of buildings Urban development Low Energy buildings

  8. Renewable energy sources Biomass Profitable due to national subsidies and taxes Higher prices – demands in Europe Sustainable criteria Wind turbines Wind turbines onshore and offshore Geothermal heat: 2-3 new plants in Copenhagen Local energy production: Solar power and heat New technology

  9. Waste incineration • Production of more electricity and heat when needed • Content of plastic causes carbon emissions • Recycling of plastic possible – some fractions • Actions needed • Separation - households etc. • Sorting at the plant • Other materials

  10. Integrated and intelligent energy systems 2025 Possible solutions: Electricity storage as hydrogen or batteries Collection of heat du to conversion loss Transformation of power in to heat through heat pumps Storage of fuel eg. waste and biomass Seasonal storage of heat Intelligent management of electricity demand etc. Energy sources Energy transformation Energy demand Hydrogen Heat supply
