1 WP5.1.1 OUTPUT Baseline Emission Inventory General Abstract 1

2 The present document was elaborated in the frame of the MANERGY - Paving the way for self-sufficient regional energy supply based on sustainable energy concepts and renewable energy sources project, financed by the CENTRAL EUROPE programme of the European Union. Duration of the project: 1 May Apr Output number: The project The Kyoto protocol, the EU 2020 Strategy and several further commitments force the states of CE to rationalize their energy consumption and reduce the fossil energy sources in their energy mix in favour of renewables. MANERGY assists the CE area in achieving these goals by setting its general objective: supporting the responsible use of the environmental potentials of CE by promoting sustainable approaches to environment friendly energy source management, including an increase in renewable energy use and significant reduction in energy consumption and CO2 emissions. As urban areas represent more than two thirds of the energy consumption of the EU, the role of local authorities in energy saving is significant. This tendency is fostered by the central governments in all countries, urging the public authorities to cut their expenses by rationalizing their overhead costs. MANERGY partners aid local authorities to answer this challenge and pave the way for the self sufficient regional energy supply. Therefore the project has set the specific objectives of elaborating innovative transnational method for local authorities to raise their energy efficiency and increase the use of renewable sources; setting up transnational network to assist the implementation of this process; transferring the elaborated tools for enhanced renewable energy use to regional/local levels and support preparations of practical energy applications; providing a clear picture for decision makers and transferring the energy concepts to regional/national policies; raising awareness on the benefits of renewable energy supply and energy efficiency. Based on the similarities in the energy supply of the partners, transnational cooperation offers the opportunity for direct exchange on the needs and future aspirations related to these topics. In the CE area currently there is no such official transnational level forum which would deal with these issues. The regions and local authorities are mostly the ones who implement the different approaches of energy use, on the other hand they in themselves separately are not strong stakeholders to have their voice heard in order to shape the system. By its transnational approach the project will transfer its results to other CE cities and also support the forming EU s energy policy. Besides, transnational cooperation gives that chance for local authorities - which would not have otherwise the possibility to access to a wide range of know-how - to improve their energy management by benefiting from best practices of other CE countries. 2

3 MANERGY involves institutions with the competence and capacity to the specific objectives. The development agencies and the province have the capacity to develop and implement local/regional policies to support the efficient public energy consumption and increased use of renewables. The scientific and expert institutions have expertises in the research and evaluation of the use of the regenerative energy sources, in these cases the implementation of the elaborated tools will be ensured also by associated institutions. WP1 ensures the smooth cooperation and manage all project activities; WP2 spreads the results at 3 interregional conferences, 2 EU events, 1 website, 2 brochures, 6 newsletters and several media appearances. In WP3 energy consumption of local authorities and the renewable energy sources is mapped and supported by a digital map. Regional energy concepts will match the demand and supply optimally, a comparative study and a transnational tool of defining energy concepts will be worked out and illustrated by a case study booklet. To amend the organisational structure of implementing the concepts, WP4 analyses the requirements of setting up energy agencies that will be compared in a transnational study. Partners also deliver business plans for the EAs. WP5 will test the transnational tool and implement regional concepts in practice by local concepts and action plans. Further information: 3

5 Abstract The Covenant of Mayors (CoM) is the commitment by signatory towns and cites to go beyond the EU objectives in terms of CO2 reduction, through the implementation of Sustainable Energy Action plans(seaps). Signatories commit to submitting their local SEAPs, with concrete measures aiming at reducing the city's CO 2 and emissions within the year following adhesion. The SEAP should include a baseline CO 2 emission inventory and the CO 2 reduction target. JRC has developed a specific methodology for the collection of data at local level and emission s coefficient per MWh, used for the realization of the Baseline Emission Inventory. Collection of data was made with a mix mode, collecting data both in bottom-up mode (related to Municipality s consumptions) and top-down mode (related to the other consumptions of the territory. The present study, focussed on Carbonera, Conegliano and Ponte di Piave municipalities, belonging to Treviso Province, show results, at municipal level, from the collection of data subdivided per sector, related to the baseline year, defined by availability of data, as The Baseline Emission Inventory developed show also the situation, related to 2007, of energy consumption and related emission, depending on their typology of energy source. 5
