3 OBJECTIVES In order to reduce CO2 emissions by 2020, the SEAP proposes measures to increase energy efficiency (EE) and the use of renewable energy resources (RES) in the public and private sectors. The Riga Smart City SEAP provides for actions and measures to reduce CO2 emissions both directly and indirectly: Measures implemented in municipal bodies and companies, Indirectly the municipality promotes CO2 emission-reducing measures among households in residential buildings.

4 Decision maker Mayor of Riga to sign Covenant of Mayors Riga City Council Stakeholders Riga Energy Agency Municipal institutions and departments Municipal enterprises DH company partially owned by the municipality Other energy suppliers (electricity, gas) Households and other energy consumers Barriers Lack of awareness of inhabitants on EE & RES issues Lack of supportive financial tools Inappropriate performance of existing infrastructure Passive resistance of low income residents on EE improvements in their households Drivers Growing energy bills Necessity of greenhouse gas emissions & air pollution reduction Riga Smart City SEAP which is integrated with the other city strategic development planning documents is promoting achievement of progress towards a city with a high value-added and resource efficient economy, also contributes to development of a low-carbon economy

5 Calculated CO 2 emissions in Riga thous t 5000,0 4500,0 4000,0 3500,0 Transport Final fuel consumption Electricity consumption DH consumption 3000,0 2500,0 2000,0 1500,0 1000,0 500,0 0,

6 Projected CO 2 emissions in Riga for different scenarios 4500 thous t CO reference scenario Scenario Min Scenario Opt Scenario Max

9 RES use in Riga: hydroenergy Riga HES (Daugava cascade) connectioned to the power supply system of Riga biogas solid biomass subsurface ground heat solar energy electric cars

10 B I O G A S Biogas Cogeneration (CHP) plants: Sewage treatment plant Daugavgrīva (LtD Rigens ) 2,1 MWel.; 2,6 MWth; LtD Getliņi EKO solid communal waste treatment plant 5,3 MWel.; 6,8 MWth. Heat to be used in the greenhouses farm.

11 Biomass use dynamics in the JSC Rigas siltums

12 Ground thermal resources

13 SUBSURFACE GROUND HEAT Riga municipality installed space heating based on the ground heat pumps in the two kindergardens, thereby closed the two coal-fired boiler houses: Kindergarden Kastanītis 10 thermal probes in vertical boreholes with depth 120m; Two stage heat pump 57,5 kw

14 Riga municipality eliminated coal boiler houses and installed heating with geothermal pumps equipment in two pre-schools buildings: Kindergartenn Mežaparkā - 12 boreholes with thermoprobes 80m; Two 29 kw heat pumps

15 SOLAR ENERGY Global monthly solar radiation on horizontal surface in nordic cities of Europe (kwh/m²): Jan Feb Mar Apr Maijs Jūn Jūl Aug Sep Okt Dec Berlīne Helsinki Stokholma Kopenhāgena Most important solar plant in Riga was installed in the hazardous waste treatment company Zaļā Latvija LtD - with the annual designed capacity 1500 kwh Rīga

16 Energy balance example for Riga multi-apartment building Annual energy demand for space heating = 144,29 kwh/(m²a) Total annual energy demand for space heating & hot water preparation = 231 kwh/(m²a) (LUWOGE consult)

17 Energy storage options posibilities to balance energy production & demand

18 Hydrogen energy system: from water to water Fuel cells and hydrogen can provide a complete zero-emission (decentralised) power generation-pathway BAU technical solutions not later than in 2030

19 Energy storage key component in sustainable energy system (*).

20 Storage possibilities for renewable energy Electricity. (supercapacitors) Hydro storage energy (hydropower, pumped storage power plants Mechanical energy (compressed air reservoirs, flywheel energy storage systems) Electrochemical energy (batteries) Chemical energy (fuels)

21 Development of hydrogen technologies depends on oil price Alex Körner IEA Infrastructure analyses OECD/IEA 2012

22 How fare are H2 aplications for city? Letter of intent for the development and usage of hydrogen fuel cell trolleys in Riga was signed on October of 2014 The enterprise "Rīgas Satiksme" as the operator of public transport in Riga, "Ballard Power Systems" and the leading Czech trolleybus and tram manufacturer "Skoda Electrics" ("Škoda") agreed that, in accordance with the "Hy-Trolley" program "Skoda" and "Ballard" plans by 2016 to replace part of the Riga trolleybus traction power-generating backup diesel generators with a new generation of fuel cell modules from "Ballard"

23 Innovative Smart City projects with integrated ICT solutions (included in REA project e-catalogue) 16) Smart distance controllers for electricity supply data gathering 1) Energy consumption management in multi apartment buildings 2) Energy consumption management in public buildings 3) Local biogas cogeneration with heating in greenhouse complex 4) Programmed LED city lightning with distance control function 5) Heat recovery from the flue gases within district heating system plants 6) Automated energy consumption distance data mining within district heating system 7) E-ticket system implementation and reduced price tickets available for different social groups using public transport 8) Database for Riga living households 9) Thermal pump with heat controllers for efficient building heating 10) Automated wood chips biomass boilers with output value over 100% 11) Electric cars for municipal technical units 12) Sun battery system on building roofs over the city 13) Energy Efficiency for household using Smart technologies 14) Solar pumps for building heating 15) Heat recover from waste water in multi apartment houses
