Energy and baseline emissions inventory (BEI) Analysis of the total energy consumption and energy supply Total electricity production and consumption Total heating production and consumption Energy consumption in transport sector Energy Consumption in waste and sewege water sectors Total energy consumption sectoral and according to energy carrier Greenhouse gas emission of region Südwestpfalz Status quo GHG emissions: ca. 626.000 t CO2-e/a ca. 16% electricity ca. 43% heating ca. 40% transport ca. 1% waste and sewage water 1990 emissions: ca. 753.000 t CO2-e/a Today ca. 127.000 t CO 2 -e/a energy savings reached!

Stakeholder involvement Stakeholder analysis and management 10 Steering Committee Meetings and 8 events in Südwestpfalz have been organized since March 2012 Thematic workshops to develop ideas and measures VG Zweibrücken-Land: Supply and disposal VG Pirmasens-Land: Energy efficiency campaign VG Dahner-Felsenland: Climate protection education VG Hauenstein: Public relations VG Thaleischweiler-Fröschen: Sustainable procurement
Catalogue of energy measures Specific measures for Energy efficiency and energy savings Renewable energies categorised into Buildings Transport Electricity production Heating & cooling production Land-use planning Public procurement Services Waste & sewage tracking Investment costs Pay-back time Regional added value Savings (CO 2, kwh, ) Revenue (kwh, ) CO 2 abatement costs simultaneous involve Local governments Private households Businesses, associations & social facilities Source: IfaS
Priority measures Inter-municipal cooperation Cross-departmental communication and cooperation Str rategic Set-up of a steering committee as a think tank" Organization of climate protection work in the administration Regular Round Table of Departments and Authorities Inter-municipal building energy management Communication and public relations Creation of a climate protection brand for the county and its municipalities Energy saving campaign Südwestpfalz Energy Company being a RE investor Municipalities and citizens as participants
Priority measures Supportive measures for development of energy efficiency potential With regard ds to content Heating sector: high potential, especially in private households (energy savings campaign) Street lighting: full development ( experience exchange) CHP: identification and development of area of applications (e.g. district heating) Supportive measures for development of RE potential Wind potential: inter-municipal wind farms Solar potential: tap huge potential for private households ( new incentives) Biomass potential: local potential, central control (energy company) Further analysis and feasibility studies sub-concepts (private property, heat recovery, industrial parks, drinking water and wastewater) bioenergy villages, green waste recycling, local heating networks, etc.

Catalogue of energy measures Bioenergy village Mauenheim living with local supply 430 inhabitants and 100 households Electricity and heat are supplied completely from local renewables Heat: Biogas waste heat + residue wood Electricity: CHP(combined heat and power) + solar energy Project costs and public participation Biogas plant 1,4 million Solar complex, wood chips + local heating network 1,6 million 1/3 citizen investments + 2/3 KfW-loan funded through a local savings bank Economy Regional economy and purchasing power strengthened Around 200.000 /a savings (payback time in at least 15 years) Environment and climate protection In total more than 3.000 t CO 2 savings per year
Catalogue of energy measures Kaarst Renovation through third party financing Despite the precarious budegtary situation realisation of energy savings through ESCO scheme Modernisation of heating systems and lighting in public buildings are ecologically and economically viable Municipality outsourced the energy supply (heating and lighting) External contractors committed to invest in fuel-efficient energy solutions Municipality pays energy consumption or service for a specified time
Catalogue of energy measures Sun Area: Solar energy potential of Osnabrück s roofs Information about the solar potantials are based on a project called Sun Area coordinated by the University of Osnabrück Citizens can see the adequacy of their own roofs for solar applications for free in the internet Osnabrück can decrease its electricity demand up to 20% Citizens do not have to apply for (expensive) energy consultancy services Up to 1,5 billion investment-volume could be generated 50.000 roofs can produce around 250.000 MWh electricity and can save 130.000 t CO 2
Catalogue of energy measures Search for energy guzzlers Cities and communities (i.e. Gladbeck, Bremen, Düsseldorf) or associations (Caritas) educate energy assistants Free household checks with immediate aid packages worth 70,- Low income citizens helping low income families Socio-economical eco-effect 4-People household saves up to 150,- 2-People household saves up to 70,- German governments save 5,4 million & households over 24 million Reintegration of permanently unemployed persons into the job market
Catalogue of energy measures Using the local biomass potential Hedge management Positive effects for ecology and economy created through the introduction of hedge mangement by LGs Local renewable energy source is used and management centrally Tendering process for maintenance lead to tax revenues and local employment Current Situation Disposal Costs Biomass Target Scenario Energy usage Cost savings, biomass fuel for CHP
Catalogue of energy measures Heat pump campaign in Birkenfeld district Demand (old heat pumps): 650 kwh / household * (~ 5,000 h runtime/a, 130 W) Electricity demand for 228 changed heat pumps: 185 MWh/a Savings: Highly efficient circulating pumps require max. 20% of the performance of conventional pumps Savings of ~ 150 MWh/a possible and about 67 tonnes of CO 2 Savings of ~ 45,000 (at an electricity price of 0.30 /kwh) Costs around 300 Old pump electricity costs: about 195 /a New pump electricity costs: about 39 /a ------------------------------------------------------------------ Savings: about 156 /a New pumps have a return on investment period of about 2 years!
