1 1 The role of regional planning within energy cooperation and CO 2 - mitigation in the Stockholm Region Office for Regional Planning, Stockholm County Council (Sweden)

2 2 Stockholm County 26 Municipalities 2 million inhabitants, 1 million dwellings Biggest city is Stockholm with inhabitants Monocentric region, good public transport, big rural areas Population densities: - County 285 inh./km 2 - Stockholm inh./km 2 Service sector (85%) dominates Few bigger industries Source: SCB, RTK

3 3 Administration / regional responsibilities Sweden in general Municipal planning monopoly Planning process is important: dialogue and working together Ambitious energy- and climate goals of Swedish State Regional Planning Office of the Stockholm Region (RPO) Part of County council (Health Care and Urban Transport) Long term perspective, interdisciplinary, holistic view Planning for red, blue, green but also economy No own means for investments

4 4 About energy and climate: Do we have the right focus?

5 5 Some overall global facts Use of fossil energy per year = 1 million years of fossilisation 75 % of used energy is lost Fossil energy is and will be dominant in the world until 2050 Historically 80 % of CO2-emission come from developed countries Global emission of CO2 (2008) is 50 billion ton, and still growing... To avoid global warming of more than 2 o Celcius we have a global CO 2 budget of 950 billion tons left... less than 20 years ERGO: A rapid change and paradigm shift is needed, technique is available... but who would pay for it? ( Global annual military budget is around billion dollars!)

6 6 Do we fulfil our heavy responsibility?

7 /50 We must avoid the unmanageable, and manage the unavoidable! (H.J. Schellnhuber, PIK) Bildkälla: Ch. Fuglesang, 2007

8 8 What do we have to work on?

9 9 Poland Sweden: Electricity yproduction electricity production Poland Sweden Production capacity (MW) Share of coal 97 % 1 % Renewable sources 3 % 50 % Electricity from nuclear power % Share of GHG-neutral sources 3 % 97 % BUT: Energy consumption in Sweden/per capita is one of the highest in the world!

14 14 Are energy and emission goals important for the regional work?

15 15 Energy goals for the Stockholm Region TWh/ year TWh Total amount of energy, compared to Tillförd energi, målbild mot % - 25% Agriculture Jordbruk och skogsbruk Transport Transport 50 Industri Industry % Byggd mijlö och service Buildings Energisektor (förluster+prod. el) Losses år Time

17 17 How can we fulfil our goals?

18 18 Ambitious climate goals supported by increased energy efficiency and switch to renewables Integrated and more efficient district heating/cooling systems New combined heat-power-plants Decentralised solutions and broader energy mix Broad set of new and more efficient transport solutions, i.e. Renewable fuels, green vehicles and less transport km Energy efficient i buildings both existing stock and new ones Integration sewage/waste and energy production Combining i settlement t and transport t development Intensified cooperation of public and private sector (action programme!) Green public procurement

19 Example 1: District heating system fossil free 2020 October Valsta Demand/y: 12 TWH Bristaverket Demand stagnates despite regional growth Järfälla Hässelbyverket Vilunda Rotebro Akalla Sundbyberg Solna Värtaverket Lidingö Hammarbyverket 80% of central region s buildings part of system 2006: 70% biomass and 15 % heat pumps Goal 2020 : 100% fossil free Fittja HMC Högdalenverket Farsta Bollmora Skogås Existing links Igelstaverket Drevviken Missing links

20 20 Example 2: Public transport fossil free % of rush hour travels by ypublic transport Metro & Commuter trains run on green electricity Buses: 200 biogas buses today 500 ethanol buses today = 700 out of 1,800 buses (39 %) Planned goal for 2011: 50 % of fleet run on renewable fuel (risk of delay due to financial crisis) Goal: Fossil free fleet by 2025

21 21 Example 3: Combining settlement and transport infrastructure development IPM model Polycentric structure Avoiding urban sprawl Dense urban development based on public transport Interplay urban areas and green spaces Using efficient technical systems (district heating and cooling, broadband, water/sewage) Saving energy...

22 22 What is the role of regional planning within the work for decreased energy use and the mitigation of climate change?

23 23 Regional planning can... Deliver necessary holistic information Launch insights for local stakeholders and private actors Put clear climate goals on the agenda necessary as framework for targeted actions within different sectors Act as co-ordinator and catalyst ot make things happen... e.g. Integration of district heating systems, new wind farms, biomass import, refurbishing big housing estates, biogas facilities, etc. Promote public transport and work for a trend shift of road transport (e.g. congestion charge system) Support the public sector as fore runner within own sphere/projects, critical purchaser, rule maker
