1 U.S. - METREX Conference of Metropolitan Regions Advancing Economic Development in an Atmosphere of Changing Priorities Dr. Rolf-Barnim Foth Political Planning Department City Hall of Hamburg, Germany rolf-barnim.foth@sk.hamburg.de phone

2 Where is the Metropolitan Region of Hamburg?

3 Where is the Metropolitan Region of Hamburg? Germany is a Federal Republic Hamburg is one of 16 Federal States

4 Metropolitan Region of Hamburg: Who we are Germany s 2nd largest city with a population of 1.7 M in the city, 20% international population pacemaker in a Metropolitan Region of 4,5 M own Parliament (Bürgerschaft) with law making powers green city on the waterside (40 % green and water spaces), situated between two oceans (Atlantic and Baltic Sea) foreign trade hub for 800 years and turntable between Northern Europe and Asia, Latin America and Africa (sister city: Chicago) first European logistic hub

5 Metropolitan Region of Hamburg: Who we are second largest port & aviation technology center in Europe media and IT capital of Germany among the most important European life science regions 4th European City in GDP per capita among the most important global places for wind energy, solar energy, low energy houses and project management first German city with comprehensive climate change program ( 25 m) center of excellence for climate research for more than 50 years

6 EU and National Climate Protection Policy Legal framework to be set by EU and Federal Government (Berlin); examples: Trading of Emission Rights (EU) Pollution Standards for Cars (EU) Energy Net Policy (EU) Reduction 1990 CO 2 emissions by 20% until 2020 Federal Parliament, Berlin

7 EU and National Climate Protection Policy Federal Climate Change Policies (examples)*: 1990/2000/2004: Renewable Energy Sources Act (raise share from 14% now to 25-30% in 2020) 2000/2005/2008: National Climate Protection Programs (reduce 1990 emissions by 40% 2020, 80% 2050 > achievement:18% 2007) 2006: Energy Savings Ordinance (EnEV) (energy efficiency of buildings; introduction of Energy Passes for buildings) 2007 Emission Trading Allocation Act taxation of energy (Ökosteuer) emission related landing fees on airports * Federal States have to agree in Second Chamber of Parliament

8 Effects: National Climate Protection Policy Contribution of renewable energy sources to Germany's energy supply German Government Targets 25% - 30% 1) German Government Targets [%] ) 18 2) Share of RE in Total Primary 3) Energy Consumption 4.8 Share of RE in Total Gross Electricity Consumption 3.5 Share of RE in Total Final Energy Consumption for Heat Share of RE in Fuel Consumption for Road Traffic 1 ) The Integrated Energy and Climate Programme of the German Government, ; 2) Directive of the Euopean Parlament and of the Council on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources, ; 3) For calculating the share of primary energy consumption (PEC), the (official) physical energy content method has been used. Acc. to the substitution method: 9.1 % RE - renewable energies, Source: BM U according to Working Group on Renewable Energies / Statistics (AGEE-Stat); Version: M arch 2008; all figures provisional Share of RE in Total Final Energy Consumption (electricity, heat, fuels)

9 Cost of Climate Change in Hamburg Expected damage in Hamburg in infrastructure and building (storms, flooding, heavy rain) : 25,7 billion Calculation by DIW German Institute for Economic Research, 3. Extreme Weather Congress, Hamburg March 2008

10 Hamburg Climate Change Policy raise awareness + define everybody s CO 2 footprint set examples + goals: t CO set mandatory standards (national + State legislation) climate protection to become integral part of economic growth policy (e.g. Master Plan Industry): > GDP > CO 2 launch programs with well defined projects and measures (Hamburg Climate Action Plan: 170 projects within 5 years, 25 Million extra in 2008) subsidize early markets (e.g. fuel-cell) capacity building in R&D and applied sciences establish city networks on adaptation and mitigation (Clinton Initiative, lead of METREX EU CO 2 80/50 inventory and strategy program, urban flood management, organize conferences on best practice)

11 Hamburg CO 2 Reduction Scenario Anm. 1 Bevölkerungsvorausberechnung des Hamburger Basisdatenausschusses (Statistikamt HH/SH), mittlere Variante

12 Hamburg CO 2 Reduction Goal (2 M t) t CO 2 voluntary Senatskonzept Selbstverpflichtung der Hamburger Industrie: t CO 2 contribution by industry (accounts for 50% of emissions) t CO 2 improved technologies Verbesserte Technologie (z.b. Antriebssysteme): t CO 2 Senatskonzept quantifizierbare Maßnahmen (plausibilisiert durch Wuppertal-Institut): t CO t CO 2 measures taken by Hamburg t CO 2 measures taken by Federal Government Auswirkung von Maßnahmen der Bundesregierung: t CO t CO 2 Senatskonzept nicht quantifizierbare Maßnahmen (Bildung u.a.): t CO 2 measures presently under specification Independent certification by Wuppertal Institut

13 Building Policy buildings built before 1978 (retrofitting potential: 200 kwh/m² - subsidies + legislation; distant heating) Harbour City and other new districts: greenbuilding area highest possible standards (30-50% above current new standards) New public buildings: Set example (25 kwh/m²)

14 Hamburg Public Transport I Hamburg Transport Association: Facts and Figures Bus/Ferry Rail Total Routes/lines Stops/stations Network length (km) Vehicles Passenger kilometres (m) Passengers on lines/routes (m) HVV total passengers (m) 609

15 Hamburg Public Transport II 25% of all trips are made by public transport related to job commuting even 33% in inner city 67% of all trips are made by public transport Power consumption of the Metro System Difference Million car-km p.a. 58,37 74,54 27,7 % Total power consumption [million kwh] 97,68 103,97 6,4 % Specific consumption [kwh/car-km] 1,67 1,39-16,8 % Automatic driving recommendations for energyefficient train operation Return of braking energy into the electricity network Energy storage systems New lightweight construction vehicle concept New lines to encourage use

16 Hamburg Fuel-Cell Technology Network

17 Co-Sponsored by Fuel-Cell Funding Program

18 Fuel-Cell Projects in Hamburg

19 Fuel-Cell Projects in Hamburg

20 Fuel-Cell Zero Emission Ships

21 Fuel-Cell Zero Emission Public Transport fuel-cell powered hydrogen buses are 100% environmentally compatible and operate at low noise emission rates Hamburg operates nine fuel cell powered buses on regular daily basis - the largest hydrogen powered bus fleet in the world expected end of operation of first generation: summer 2008 next generation: Hybrid version.
