“Delft, Energy-neutral in 2050”

Pauline van Gijn, City of Delft7th June 2012

Climate policy

Since 2003 active Climate policy with • 3E Climate plan 2003-2012,

• Objective 2012; reduction of 33,500 tonnes CO2

• Focus on new housing and building stock

• Update Climate plan 2008-2012, • Objective 2012; reduction of 15% CO2, 5%

renewable energy of total Delft energy consumption, 15% less energy consumption

• Focus on existing housing stock

• Long term• In time a CO2-neutral city: to be defined in a

scenario study.

Projects Climate plan ‘08-’12

Focus on:•Existing business (incl processes) 40%•Existing housing stock 22%•New residential building projects 15%•Renewable energy sources 10%•District heat company Eneco Delft 10% •Municipal building and environmental care 2% •New utility and sustainable businesses 1%

Project: existing housing stock

How to reach 15.000 house owners?

Energy saving campaigns in several districts:•Research on most effective measures•Selection of preferred contractor•Volume discount, municipal subsidies and low interest financing

•Construction supervisor and customer support

Evaluation 2008 – 2012Delft CO2-monitoring

Two ways of monitoring

1. Monitoring of projects

2. Monitor based on CO2-emission of real consumption of gas, electricity and traffic flows of Delft.

Delft CO2-monitoring

Difficulties of Monitoring

Dutch privacy law protects consumer – Delft has to pay for actual figures (€ 4.500,- per year) to energy transportation companies.

Data available 2 years afterwards (in 2014 figures of 2012 available)

National initiative has to make figures available, but energy transportion company does not participate in this initiative.

Scenarios approach

Base: cost-effective energy saving and on time cost-effective RES

Green: Focus on ‘Planet’. Solving climate problem main task, aim at highest CO2-reduction

United: Focus on People, cost reduction through energy saving in existing building stock, social cohesion

Innovative: Focus on input for Dutch and international transition through intensive co-operation with local knowledge institutes

Scenarios into practice

To achieve the ambition Delft energy neutral in 2050:• The full package

Implementation of long term ambition through

•2-years monitoring of CO2-reduction

•4-years Local Energy action Plan (2013 – 2016, 2017 – 2020 etc.)

•Setting up contracts with local partners

Delft local, national en international partnerships

•Delft Dreamteam (citizen, companies, knowledge institutes, ngo’s and city).

•Delft Energy Initiative Technical University-Delft

•KISSZ (Randstad area)•Klimaatverbond (National)•Dutch network of Sustainable Energy (Min I&E)

•Energy Cities•Cov Mayors

Conclusion

Trend from the government as a initiator towards the government as a facilitator

At least 99% of CO2 emissions outside the circle of influence of Delft;

Partnerships are essential to realise ambition Delft energy neutral in 2050
