2 Introduction Rhein-Hunsrück District Rheinland-Pfalz inhabitants Area: 963 km² 134 settlements (75% with less than 500 inhabitants) Head of the District Mr. Bertram Fleck Kreisverwaltung Rhein-Hunsrück Kreis Ludwigstraße 3-5, Simmern Tel: (06761)

3 Overview 1. Goal: to transform 290 million currently spent on energy imports to regional value added 2. Role model for others by construct and retrofit 3. Example: Theodor-Heuss-Schule 4. Material Flow Management : Example: Bio-heating network 5. Roofs Source of revenue 6. Usage of solar energy: District administration as a model 7. Share of electricity from renewable energy 8. Regional value added 9. Climate protection concept 10. Economic benefits through the German Renewable Energy Act 3

4 1. Goal: to transform 290 million currently spent on energy imports to regional value added Total expenditure on energy imports in Rhein-Hunsrück approx. 290 Million Rhineland-Palatinate Goal of our Climate Protection Concept: Total expenditure on energy imports in the Federal Republic of Germany in 2011: rd. 87 Mrd. 23% more than 2010 Source : Rhein-Zeitung vom We aim at localizing the use of 250 Million currently annually spent on energy import! Through improvements in energy efficiency and introduction of renewable energies we convert energy import costs into regional jobs and value added! 4

5 1. Goal: to transform 290 million currently spent on energy imports to regional value added Goals of the German Federal Government Efficiency Share of renewables in electricity CO 2 Goal of German Federal Government 2020: Goal of German Federal Government 2050: 20 % 35 % 40 % 50 % 80 % 80 % Energy goals of Rhein-Hunsrück District are far more ambitious We want 100 % CO 2 free resp. CO 2 neutral supply 100 % decentralized production 100 % of energy from the region to become an energy exporter to reduce the energy expenses of the District drastically through energy saving and efficiency measures We make economic profit from energy Consequence: role model for others motivate citizens implement systematically 5

6 1. Goal: to transform 290 million currently spent on energy imports to regional value added Percentage of Renewable Energies Optimization Of Building- and Redevelopment measures Energy controlling District owned properties 2006 Resolution for a Energy Concept for the District 2009 Energy Concept I 2011 Submission of the Concept by IfaS 2010 Commission of IfaS (College of technology) Climate Protection Concept 2020 Zero-Emission (incl. Traffic a. Refuse) Realization of the Concept Part I - Manager for Climate Protection - Expansion of Local Concepts - Public Services through RE - Civic Partizipation Reference Area for Sustainability time 6

7 2. District administration as a role model for others by construct and retrofit thus we construct and retrofit energy efficiently since 2003 According to 3-Liter- Standard 2009 according to Passive House Standard 2009 New Buildings According to Energy win Standard Oil and gas fuelled heaters were replaced by heating systems using renewable energy sources Oil and gas fuelled heaters were replaced by heating systems using renewable energy sources District heating systems based on biomass Tube collector systems Wood pellet heating Heat pumps 7

8 3. Example: Theodor-Heuss-Schule 2010: The first Zero Emission School in the District 2006 : Connection to the local district heating grid (wood chips and plant oil CHP with native rapeseed) 2008: Conversion of swimming pool pump, Savings of electricity: 10,000 kwh per year 2011: Sports Halls in Simmern and Kirchberg Zero emission sports halls : PV systems (electricity 93 kwp), Yield: kwh / year Surplus electricity: 33% for consumption CO 2 credits: 14.5 t / year 8

9 4. Material Flow Management : Example: Bio-heating network Umweltpreis des Landes Rheinland-Pfalz 2009 Public building complexes are merged to district heating networks and heated with tree and shrub cuttings (120 collecting points, central treatment place) District heating network Simmern: 9 school buildings, 3 sports halls Similar project in the school center Kirchberg in operation (7 school buildings, 3 sports halls, 1 indoor/outdoor swimming pool) Similar project in the school center Emmelshausen under construction (6 school buildings, 2 Sports halls, 1 cafeteria buildings, 1 library) Total investment 7,5 Million Annual savings Litres Fuel oil equivalent In the course of the next 20 years at least 11,8 Million of energy delivery costs will stay within the region 9

10 5. Roofs Source of revenue 1000-Roofs-Photovoltaic-Programme Rhein-Hunsrück District; Volksbank and Raiffeisen bank institutes in the District; Smart Geomatics; Sate agency for measuring Results: Out of a total of roofs in the District are suitable for PV. Here nearly the whole annual power demand of about 473 Mio. kwh could be covered. At the moment already 9 % of this potential is used. 10

11 6. Usage of solar energy: District administration as a model The District uses all suitable roofs Example: School center 2007: 35 kwp 2011: 366 kwp PV system in the school center: The first school 35 kwp The first school The second school Home for disabled Kindergarten for disabled 93 kwp 153 kwp 100 kwp 20 kwp 11

12 7. Share of electricity from renewable energy sources in the District in already 104 % Hydropower Ø national 3,3 % from 2010: Pilot project in the river Rhein close to St. Goar 34,33 % nicht regenerative Energien 65,67 % regenerative Energien (Bund 16,8 %) June 2012 in use Wind energy June ,59 % Ø national 7,5 % Photovoltaics 9,01 % Ø national 4,0 % Total energy consumption 2009 Eletricity generation out of Renewable energies 2012 Biomass 1,86 % Ø national 5,5 % 12
