Energy Efficiency projects

ESEA has 3 ongoing EE projects

Prioritizes area from the Swedish Energy Agency with Intense focus on SME's

Aim: to reach targets of 20% energy savings by 2020 and strengthen Swedish

companies in international competition

Challenge: to motivate to action when energy prices are so low

Network with focus on EE in municipal residential

buildings

Self financed network. Cost 7000 SEK per year

Meetings four times a year, half a day, usually at. 9-12 with subsequent joint lunch.

The aim: through meetings in an open atmosphere around different themes to contribute with good

examples and "worst case" and learn from others. to get inspired, to compare approaches with other players, and also increase the contacts in

the field. Seek, develop and evaluate new solutions and find common approaches. To stimulate, develop and follow up ideas through workshops or other methodologies

The agenda is set together from time to time.

Energy Efficient companies in middle East Sweden

The project will help small and medium-sized enterprises in East Central Sweden

to increases its competitiveness by improving energy efficiency and cooperation

between key players in the field.

Project duration Septt 2015 –Sept 2018

Funded by the Swedish Agency for Economical and regional Growth through the European regional Develpment fund

Activities:

Developing cooperation and platforms for dialogue and capacity building, a meeting place between companies,

suppliers, researchers, innovators, government agencies and others.

Energy and Climate Advisor in collaboration with Environmental Inspectors in outreaching advisory activities at

companies

In a business consulting context include that energy efficient companies often have competitive advantages including

lower costs and better image.

Developing methods to reach the business management with the knowledge that Energy Smart = Business Smart.

Network for energy efficiency in SME´s

The aim is to support the transition to a low carbon economy and

Increase the share of renewable energy and promote energy

efficiency in companies with an energy consuption exeeding 1GWh.

The goal: 10% reduction in energy to 2023.

Activities: Network of 8-10 other companies toghether with an enenergiexpert. Start with an

energy audit, set goals, meet for 3-4 times per year for the experience exchange, education and

inspiration

Waste management

in Sweden

The greatest environmental benefit is given when both material and energyrecovery increases. Both methodsare effective instruments for reducing landfill and both methodsproduce materials and energy

Model for Circular economy

The circular economy is a model that

decouples economic growth from

resource constraints by reducing

reliance on virgin materials. Instead,

the goal is to keep materials

functioning at their highest utility at all

times. This means that something that

is seen as waste or a bi-product by

one organization or user, can be used

as raw material or product by

someone else.

Challenges for the industry• Increased cost for raw material, waste management

and energy. • The environmental performance of the products is

becoming more important.

Expanded systemslimits – new opportunites for solutionsThe key role of municipalities

Purpose

Model to map circular business opportunities in smallermunicipalities.

Analyze the potential for increased local resourceutilization in regards to material, energy and

infrastructure in a municipality.

investments in renewable energysolar powerSweden's total

Solar power in Northern regions

Too little sunshine? About 2000 sun hours per year

Too cold? Lower temperatures give higher efficience!

The solar radiation is instantaneously up to 1000 W of power per square meter and contains more than 1000 kWh of energy per square meter per year in Sweden.

Suggested strategy for the development of solar electricity by 2040

The project Future solar power in

East Central Sweden

The project aims to significantly increase the rate of investment in solar energy in small and medium-sized

enterprises in East Central Sweden and thus contribute to reduced carbon emissions and increased

competitiveness of the economy.

Project objectives are:

• Promoting investment through various funding schemes

• To increase knowledge of solar electricity among all relevant actors.

• To build a network around solar power in East Central Sweden.

Project duration Okt 2015 –Sept 2018 Funded by the Swedish Agency for Economical and regional Growth through the European regional

Develpment fund

Project activitiesInvestigation of the use of solar maps

- By whom are they used?

- How do municipalities have use of solar map and their opportunities for development?

- Suggestions for improvements?

- Is there a need to further promote solar map?

Identify local processing of building permits for solar cells

- in order to show any differences in order to facilitate planning permission management for

future solar electricity producers.

Mapping and matching

Examples of Questions:

Is the question ”fossil fuel independent

vehicle fleet” anchored in your

organization?

Have you mapped the existing vehicle

park and laid down a plan gow to switch

from fossils to renewables?

Are their any monitoring of which fuels

are tanked in the own or the contracted

transport?

BEAST promotion of EV´sRegular meetings every month since nov 2014 with themes based on needs

Seminar and Workshops to increase knowledge and help different actors to take action • Current situation and development of electric cars• Charging standards and technique• Economy service maintenance paying systems laws and regulations• Provision of contacts for establishing chargingspots and identifying business

models

Creating platforms for contacts and regional cooperation between:Municipal and regional authorities and politicians, interest groups, entrepreneurs (large workplaces), local car sellers and charging infrastructurecompanies, Energy companies, Car pool operators, car rental firms

Charging

infrastructure

strategy in East

Central Sweden

www.elbilstatistik.se

• In 2020 the forecast is 150 000 electric cars

• In 2030 approx. 2 miljon

• Funding for charging infrastructure 1,9 billion Kr from may 2015 until 2018• Green car super premium, renewed pot of money (40.000 per car) and awaiting Bonus Malus System

Main Barriers

• Lack of knowledge and prejudices (range, price, fear of new technology)

• Lack of infrastructure

• Uncertain political situation, lack of long-term policies and Incentives, awaiting a new tax system Bonus-Malus

• Filling stations for HVO are planned in severalmunicipalities, eg Motala and Vadstena

• Several municipalities drive electric cars. Mjölby has purchased 11 electric cars and set up chargingstations for its own operation

• Several municipalities have put up charging stations for public use (Ödeshög, Vadstena Boxholm, Atvidaberg and Valdemarsvik), and tree more haveplans for public charging stations (Motala, Kinda and Ydre)

• Tekniska Verken are putting up 136 charging stations throughout the region

Positive energy in the municipalities

Success Factors

Many prejudices and ignorance removed

Activities that have reached out to many stakeholders

Good timing with national funding for Charging infrastructure
