Transition of Energy System towards Renewable Energy is Conducted Locally and Decentralised

!! Regions are forming the Level of Action for the implementation of RE (Implementer ) !! Regions can influence the framework for implementation (Organizer) !! Regions can set speed and direction of transition (Pacemaker) !! Regions are Pioneers, both on federal and national level

100ee-Regions are Pioneers of a fundamental Replacement of the traditional Energy System

German Project 100% RES Regions

!! The project supports regions and communities aiming to cover their energy demand with renewable energy !! Overview of regional actitvities using the 100ee-Map !! Know-how transfer, consulting, lectures and information materials !! Supporting regions via public relations activities !! The project is conducted by the IdE (Institute decentraliced Energy Technologies) located in Kassel. !! The project is financed by the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety and technically adviced by the Federal Environment Agency.

Example: District of Osnabrck

Member of the 100ee Regions Network !! District in Lower Saxony !! Inhabitants: 360,000
!! !!

Area: 2,121 km!

!! Target by 2050: Reducing 95% of CO2 Emissions

100% RE (electricity (25%), Heat (8%), Mobility) - 50% Energy demand

!! Urban-Rural-Cooperation between City and District !! Excellent GIS based data: RE Potential, Energy Demand, Scenarios, Regional Added Value Creation,"

LK Osnabrck

Example: District of Osnabrck 100% RE Scenario for the District

3.900 GWh/a electricity from RE (150%)

2.300 GWh/a heat from RE (100%)

Example: District of Osnabrck

regional value creation the more stages of the broadly diversified value creation chain are located in a community, the more income, profits and taxes will be generated

costs of energy supply today 1,1Billion # p.a. Investment needs district 16,9 Mrd. # until 2050

value creation 200 450 Million # p.a. 600 1300 full-time jobs

Example: City of Frankfurt

Background: !! City in German Federal State of Hesse !! 679,664 inhabitants Characteristics: !! Since 1985: Energy Management for public buildings !! 1990: Founding member of the Climate Alliance !! Target by 2050: reducing 95% of CO2 emissions ( Master Plan 100% Climate Protection)
!! !! 100%RE electricity, heat (Urban-Rural -Cooperation) - 50% Energy demand

Area: 248 km!
