PEOPLE EMPLOYED IN 36 000 CITY LOCATIONS

6. WASTE MANAGEMENT

7. WASTE GENERATION
• THE CITY OF STOCKHOLM HAS A CENTURY LONG TRADITION OF WASTE INCINERATION
AND WASTE-TO-ENERGY MANAGEMENT.
• AROUND 4,485,600 TONS OF HOUSEHOLD WASTE ARE PRODUCED IN SWEDEN EACH YEAR.
• DIVIDED OVER THE POPULATION, EACH SWEDISH RESIDENT PRODUCES 500 KG OF WASTE
PER YEAR.

8. RECYCLE
• RECYCLING STATIONS ARE AS A RULE NO MORE THAN 300
METRES FROM ANY RESIDENTIAL AREA
• NEWSPAPERS -PAPER MASS
• BOTTLES ARE REUSED OR MELTED INTO NEW ITEMS
• PLASTIC CONTAINERS BECOME PLASTIC RAW MATERIAL
• FOOD IS COMPOSTED AND BECOMES SOIL OR BIOGAS
• WASTED WATER IS PURIFIED TO THE EXTENT OF BEING
POTABLE.
• PHARMACISTS ACCEPT LEFTOVER MEDICINE
• LARGER WASTE (USED TV OR BROKEN FURNITURE) TO
RECYCLING CENTRES ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF THE CITIES.

9. • FIRST INCINERATION PLANT WAS SET UP IN STOCKHOLM IN
1904.
Waste-to-energy

10. • THE CITY HAS EXCELLENT WASTE TREATMENT SYSTEM
AND USES INNOVATIVE METHOD SUCH AS VACUUM
UNDERGROUND TRANSPORTATION OF SOLID WASTE.
• USERS THROW WASTE INTO INLETS
• THE BAGS ARE STORED TEMPORARILY
• FULL INLETS ARE THEN EMPTIED AT REGULAR
INTERVALS THROUGH A NETWORK OF UNDERGROUND
PIPES.

11. Treatment of food waste
In Stockholm all separately collected food waste is recycled as biogas
and fertilisers.

12. Hazardous Waste
• COLLECTED BY HAZ-MAT’TRUCK
• MOBILE COLLECTION POINT WHICH STOPS AT 110 DIFFERENT
STATIONS AROUND THE CITY (460 STOPS PER YEAR).

13. • AS A WATER RESERVOIR, LAKE MÄLAREN IS BY ANY
STANDARDS A PURE LAKE AND WELL-SUITED FOR
THE SUPPLY OF DRINKING WATER. DRINKING
WATER IS THEREFORE PROVIDED THROUGH
SIMPLE AND ROBUST PROCESSES.
WATER CONSUMPTION & WASTE WATER
TREATMENT
LAKE MALAREN
• supplies drinking water for about 1 million people living in the
region, and water is treated in two waterworks west of the
city.
• Lake Mälaren Water quality is tightly controlled by the Food
Administration Authority, which must approve all chemical and
microbiological analyses.

14. •The water is treated with advance technology-
removing Nitrogen and phosphorous. (ambitions of
the EU Urban Waste Water Directive)
•Biogas is produced
•Biogas - mixture of different gases produced by the
breakdown of organic matter in the absence of oxygen
•upgraded for use in public buses, private cars and
taxis
•The excess heat in the sewage water is recovered for
domestic heating
•No water is reused.

16. SUMMARY STOCKHOLM’S GREEN FACTS AND
FIGURES
• 1 000 PARKS
• SEVEN NATURE RESERVES WITHIN CITY BOUNDARIES (AND MORE THAN 200 IN THE
SURROUNDING AREA), 1 CULTURAL RESERVE AND 1 CITY NATIONAL PARK
• 95 KG OF RECYCLED REFUSE ANNUALLY PER CITIZEN
• 12 000 TREES IN THE CITY CENTRE
• 24 OFFICIAL BEACHES
• WORLD’S LARGEST DISTRICT COOLING NETWORK
• SET TO BECOME FOSSIL-FUEL FREE BY 2050
• THE CITY HOSTS 2 700 CLEAN-TECH COMPANIES

19. GREEN ENERGY SOURCES
BIOENERGY
• 53 % land cover, compared global average of 30%. About
90 % of bioenergy in Sweden comes from the forestry
sector. Bioenergy represents 22 % of Sweden’s total supply
of energy
Fuel cells
• A fuel cell works like a small power plant, combining
hydrogen and oxygen to produce energy, with the only
exhaust being water.

20. SOLAR ENERGY
• begun to grow with the aid of government funding. As of
2015, the total installed capacity amounts to 79.4 MW. For
2013–2016, the Swedish Energy Agency is investing SEK
123 million in research into solar cells, thermal solar power
and solar fuels
WAVE POWER
• it is still relatively undeveloped. Pilot studies are under way
off the Swedish west coast to determine whether the
technology might be commercially viable in the longer term.

21. POWER FOR A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE
ALTERNATIVE SOURCE OF
ENERGY SINCE OIL ACCOUNTED
FOR MORE THAN 75 % OF
SWEDISH ENERGY SUPPLIES AND
THERE IS OIL CRISIS AT THAT
TIME.
1970 2016
Only 20% of energy
from fossil fuel

22. LOW OF CARBON EMISSION
STOCKHOLM,SWEDEN
4.25 tonnes per year
- due to 83 % of electricity
from nuclear and hydroelectric
power
- 10% combined heat and CHP
powered by biofuels
- 7 % from wind power
OTHER EU COUNTRIES
6.91 tonnes per year
While US countries emmits
16.15 tonnes per year

23. TRAFFIC EFFORTS
• RAIL TRAFFIC IS POWERED BY ELECTRICITY BASED ON WIND AND HYDROPOWER,
AND ALL BUSES IN THE INNER CITY OF STOCKHOLM ARE POWERED BY RENEWABLE
ENERGY.
• SINCE THE MID 1990'S, THE CITY HAS BEEN WORKING TO INCREASE THE NUMBER
OF GREEN CARS AND THE USE OF RENEWABLE FUEL IN VEHICLES
• EMISSIONS OF GREENHOUSE GASES PER PERSON HAVE DECLINED BY ALMOST 0.4
TONNES

25. GOALS & MISSION
• IN 2030, SWEDEN SHOULD HAVE A VEHICLE FLEET THAT IS INDEPENDENT OF FOSSIL
FUELS.
• THAT ENERGY EFFICIENCY IS INCREASED BY 20 PER CENT BY 2020 AS COMPARED
TO 1990.
• THAT ENERGY USE IN THE BUILDING SECTOR IS CUT IN HALF BY 2050 COMPARED
TO THE 1996 LEVEL.
• THAT AT LEAST 50 PER CENT OF SWEDISH ENERGY IS RENEWABLE
• THAT EMISSIONS OF GREENHOUSE GASES IN SWEDEN BE REDUCED BY 40
PERCENT COMPARED TO 1990.

26. RESULTS

27. ACHIEVED
• PRODUCTION OF ELECTRICITY FROM WIND TURBINES
-THE CITY REDUCES THE COST OF PURCHASING ELECTRICITY BY ROUGHLY 270
MILLION KRONOR PER YEAR.
• THE CITY FACILITATES INSTALLATION OF SOLAR PANELS.
-ELECTRICITY PRODUCTION FROM SOLAR CELLS
• BIOGAS PRODUCTION
-TO INCREASE THE AVAILABILITY OF BIOGAS AS A VEHICLE FUEL
