3. Carbon Track & Trace - CTT
• Monitoring, Reporting, Understanding of city-level
greenhouse gas emissions
• Both emission inventories and real-time local
measurements
• Better accounting leads to better prioritization of
mitigation projects
• Part of larger SmartCities approaches
4. Ecosystem
• CTT 2.0 consortium
• NTNU, DTU
• ICLEI-World, ICLEI-Europe, LSCE, South Pole Group,
Virtual City Systems
• Trondheim Municipality, Vejle Municipality, Sør-
Trøndelag Fylkeskommune, T:Lab, NumaScale,
Norwegian Institute for Air Research
• Additional local projects, collaboration with DTU, H2020
proposals, Smart Sustainable Cities initiatives
5. Approach and Activities
•Integration of measured GHG data into city planning and
decision support
•Deployment of LoRa sensor network in Trondheim and Vejle
•Development of an analytics framework of GHC emissions
•Work towards GPC-compliant inventories
• Scaling out, deployment/testing internationally
8. Conclusion
• Using local data helps to see effects of local actions.
• Good data is a foundation for better decision making.
• To get the most out of the existing open datasets, we
need to invest in ground sensors. This will enable
detailed monitoring of city-level emissions.
• Low-cost sensors can give more detailed local insights.
• Open datasets can reveal patterns in emissions.
• CTT allows for fast feedback loops for decision makers.

16. Hopes
• Data are open - data.vejle.dk
• Data are visible
• Data are useful
• Data are understandable
17. Expectations
• Understanding of current level
• Is there a change over time?
• Does our activities have an
impact?
• Can we change plans on basis of
data
• Can knowledge move people?
We have shifted focus from CO2 calculations to Resiliens.
In resiliens you talk about beeing robust towards changes.
It is not, that we neclect CO2, on the contrary, but we realise that elaborating it, and trying to make behaviour changes telling about CO2 does not bring about changes.
In resiliens we have identified to major risks and stressors, they are flooding and transportation.
Sensors are deployed in the city for a number of reasons
we would like to use data to enhance our city by improved planning and more qualified investments.
It is important to us, that data are useful and understandable. That the gap between the academic world and the life in the city is as small as possible
