4 1. Keeping up the same old energy politics? finite nature of fossil fuels Climate change causes billions of costs for the German economics Cumulative costs of climate-damages Billions of Dollars effects of carbon dioxide on the climate Source: German institut of economic research (DIW) 2007 Goals of the German Federal Government Explosive development of energy costs dependence from energyexporting-states Efficiency Share of renewables in electricity CO 2 Goal of German Federal Government 2020: Goal of German Federal Government 2050: 20 % 35 % 40 % 50 % 80 % 80 % 4

5 2. Goal: to transform 290 million currently spent on energy imports into regional value added Total expenditure on energy imports in Rhein-Hunsrück approx. 290 Million Rhineland-Palatinate Goal of our Climate Protection Concept: Total expenditure on energy imports in the Federal Republic of Germany in 2012: about 92 Billion 40% more than in 2010 We aim at localizing the use of 250 Million currently annually spent on energy imports! Through improvements in energy efficiency and introduction of renewable energies we convert energy import costs into regional jobs and value added! 5

6 2. Goal: to transform 290 million currently spent on energy imports into regional value added Percentage of Renewable Energies Optimization Of Building- and Redevelopment measures Energy controlling District owned properties 2006 Resolution of a Energy Concept for the District 2009 Energy Concept I 2011 Submission of the Concept by IfaS 2010 Commission of IfaS (College of technology) Climate Protection Concept 2020 Zero-Emission (incl. Traffic a. Refuse) Realization of the Concept Part I - Manager for Climate Protection - Expansion of Local Concepts - Public Services through RE - Civic Partizipation Reference Area for Sustainability time 6

7 3. Example Energy Efficient Construction Achievements of the energy controlling operating since 1999 Reduction of: Heat demand by 25 % Water demand by 26 % CO 2 emissions tons Cost savings During the same period, however, heating energy costs have quadrupled! Increase of: 2005 Certified with the Energy Seal of the State of Rhineland-Palatinate Electricity demand about only 5 % Despite doubling number of PC s, introduction of air-conditioned server, introduction of catering and of all-day-school. Without additional measures of energy controlling the increase would have amounted to 30%. of District s buildings by

8 3. Example Zero Emission Buildings 2010: The first Zero Emission School in the District 2006 : Connection to the local district heating grid (wood chips and plant oil CHP with native rapeseed) 2008: Conversion of swimming pool pump, Savings of electricity: 10,000 kwh per year 2011: Sports Halls in Simmern and Kirchberg Zero emission sports halls : PV systems (electricity 93 kwp), Yield: kwh / year Surplus electricity: 33% for consumption CO 2 credits: 14.5 t / year 8

9 3. Example Construction of energy generating buildings Energy generating administration buildings 2009 awarded a national-wide Energy Efficiency Prize Building s orientation to the South The mound of the Northern side constructed according to the Passive House Standard Brine heat pump connected with ground heat collectors Innovative control technology PV installations (20,7 kwp) generate more electricity than needed for heating and ventilation: Energy generating building 9

10 3. Example Development of Bio-energy Biomass for heating in the old building sector 45,3% forest area in the District Log wood, pellets and wood chips are very suitable for the old building sector Short-rotation plantation in the District Bio-heating center Biogas plant of a local energy supplier 41,7% Farmland in the District Several short rotation plantations in the District area Biogas plant of a local energy supplier Feed-in of 5.8 millions m³ of biogas into the natural gas grid each year from autumn 2012 on 10

11 3. Example Local heat supply systems in communities Community of Ober Kostenz inhabitants 72 houses from 91 houses Wood chips, Operating since January 2014 Energy Cooperative Ober Kostenz eg Status in June 2014: 10 biomass-heating networks in operation, 7 biomass-heating networks in development source: Cooperative Energy for Mannebach eg 11

12 3. Example Material Flow Management: Bio-heating network Public building complexes are merged to district heating networks and heated with tree and shrub cuttings (120 collecting points, central treatment place) The first step: Fuel preparation in the central processing place Startscreen High quality compost: approx. 50% of the total material 2009 Awarded Environmental Prize of the State of Rhineland-Palatinate Fuel: approx. 50% of the total material The second step: Thermal processing in the central heating station with burning capacity of 500 to 850 kw Central heating station Fuel storage facility 12

13 3. Example Material Flow Management: Bio-heating network Public building complexes are merged to district heating networks and heated with tree and shrub cuttings (120 collecting points, central treatment place) Central heating station Three biomass-heating networks in schoolcenters: 22 school buildings, 8 sports halls, 1 indoor / outdoor swimmingpool, 1 libary Total investment 7.1 Million clear Annual savings Liters Fuel oil equivalent In the course of the next 20 years at least 20 Million of energy delivery costs will stay within the region 13

14 3. Example Roofs Source of revenue 1000-Roofs-Photovoltaic-Program Rhein-Hunsrück District; Volksbank and Raiffeisen Bank Institutes in the District; Smart Geomatics; Sate agency for measuring Results: Out of roofs in the District are suitable for PV. Nearly the whole annual power demand of about 473 Mio. kwh could be covered. At the moment already 9 % of this potential is used. 14

15 3. Example Usage of solar energy: District administration as a model The District uses all suitable roofs Example: School center 2007: 35 kwp 2011: 366 kwp PV system in the school center: The first school 35 kwp The first school The second school Home for disabled Kindergarten for disabled 93 kwp 153 kwp 100 kwp 20 kwp 15

16 4. Promotion of acceptance of renewable energy From today s 169 to 308 wind turbines - this changes the landscape Acceptance through: early and comprehensive public information financial participation of the citizens communal solidarity pact cheaper electricity through direct marketing (citizen s electricity, communal electricity) 16

17 5. Extracurricular learning center for environmental education Educational concept of a waste management organization Learning stations: Stick insects as examples for natural cycles Extracurricular learning facilities Steam engines for power generation Pictures made of natural materials Children exploring actual objects If you want to change the world, you shall start with the children! 17

18 5. Extracurricular learning center for environmental education New Project: Energy from regional sources Learning stations: Sun Wind Biowaste Usage of PV Tree and shrub cuttings Methane is produced from bio-waste Wind turbine for the generation of electricity Heat for school centers 18
