3. Municipality of Norrköping
Total Area: 2 048 km2 (water 551 m2, land 1 497 m2)
Inhabitants: 129 770 (August 31st, 2010); Number of emplyees: approx 9 000
Yearly turnover 2010: 6.8 billion SEK

4. How did this road from fossil fuels towards
renewable fuels start in Sweden?
70’ies Oil crises
90’ies Climate change awareness

5. http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/gmd/ccgg/trends/

6. CO2 development
Target level to stop at 2 degrees

7. Mean temperature of the earth 1880-2010
Global Annual Mean Surface Air Temperature Change
http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/graphs/

8. Half-life
CO2: Several hundred years
Methane: About 10 years
1 kg methane = 21 kg CO2

9. Sweden - national level
In the early 90’ies Sweden started a national
grant to convert from fossil fules towards
renewables
1995 we started a CO2 tax, which covered all
fossil fules
2003 electricity certificate (to encourage
renewable energy)
KLIMP, national grant to the municipalities, for
sustainable development and private persons
LIP

10. Examples for municipalities
Convert buses to use biogas
Build biogas plants (use of organic sewage)
District heating, combined heat and power
plant (bioenergy; wood, sewage, wires,..)
Build passive houses / low energy (how?)
More public transports
Save money by using energy more efficient –
self finansed loans
LED (Light Emitting Diod) lamps, not Hg low
energy lamps in streets and houses
Wind power

11. Examples private
Convert cars
Solar energy
To heat houses with wood or wood chips and
accumulation water tank
Heat pumps
Convert direct electrict heating into heat
pumps, solar energy..
Better house isolation
3 glass windows

12. Not sustainable renewable fuels
Sweden is successively leaving ethanol driven cars
behind, instead biogas, electricity
Not to use palm oil for central heating or other
purposes

13. To make everybody engaged
Political ambitions
Financial resources
Alternatives
Knowledge
Information
Media
Films (Al Gore, The day after tomorrow,…)
Books
Environmental NGOs
Agenda21

14. How do the inhabitants influence
the politicians
•NGOs
•Open meetings when new plans are made
•Own suggestions to the highest political level,
they are also invited to explain their ideas

15. Politics
•The ambitions vary between the
political parties
•Build bridges
•Listen to or join the NGOs

16. Norrköping
First energy plan 1996, possibilities
Second energy plan 2009, diminish need for energy
50 % 2030 in our municipal activities
30 % 2030 in the whole municipality
The plan is followed by an Action plan where every
part of the municipality is engaged.

17. 1. What can I do as a local politician
to decrease fuel energy?
Urban long term planning
more then 10 years - vice chairman
Build in climate smart areas, not towards the
north
Passive houses
Energy efficiency in existing buildings
Energy plan
Kind of heating in new houses
New buildings close to public transportation
More train tracks for cargo
Car pools, with renewable fuels

18. 2. What can I do as a local politician
to decraese fuel energy?
Technical since 3 months – vice chairman
More public transportaion and increase
efficiency, speed and comfort
Traffic plan, priority public transportation,
walking and cycling before cars
Bicycle lanes
More Nature Reserves (biological diversity)
Biogas plant from organic waste
Take care of different fractions of all garbage
Energy advicer for the inhabitants
Parking outside the city, close to the train stn

Changing from fossile to renewable fuels for
heating purposes

21. Händelö – An eco-industrial park
• Centre for Logistics
• Heavy Process industry
• Several eco-industrial clusters
• Natura 2000 areas wirh old oak trees
• Holmen wood and paper

24. Transportation
•Biogas production for vehicle
fuel at the sewage treatment
plant
• Public transportation (buses)
using biogas
• Trams run on renewable
electricity
• Biogas-fuelled garbage
trucks
• Car pool consisting of eco
cars

25. The Municipalities of Linköping and Norrköping
are taking the Lead by a Common Climate Policy:
• Ensuring that all municipal planning is environmentally
responsible, focusing on reducing emissions of greenhouse
gases and adapting society to meet future climate changes
• Always choosing renewable sources of energy for transport
and energy systems
• Applying climate and environmental requirements to all
purchases
• Increasing climate commitment and communicating about
climate issues with employees, elected representatives,
residents and businesses in the municipality
• Supporting business-driven environmental technology
development

26. Political management system

27. Energy plan
Adopted by the City Council 2009-03-30
Objectives in the Energy Plan
By 2030 Norrköping has an energy
system that
Is efficient and focuses on decreasing
the amount of energy used by 30% until
2030 as compared to 2005
Only uses renewable fuels
Is robust and can handle the
consequences brought on by climate
change

organisation by the end of 2010
Objectives for the municipal organisation in Norrköping
2009 2013 2017 2021 2015 2030
Decrease the 15 % 30 % 40 % 45 % 48 % 50 %

Renewable 15 % 50 % 70 % 80 % 90 % 100 %
fuels

29. Work in two steps
Step 1
• Both the municipal organisation and municipal enterprises are
involved: environment- and health dept, city planning dept,
technical dept, dept of commerce and industry, center for public
procurement, IT office, public housing and housing having special
functions
Step 2
Focuses on attitudes and behaviour
• Involves all employees

and a trend that soon will
Sceptics, 8% pass
I cannot influence this
situation, so I don’t need to
Passive, 23% do anything
This is worrying and
Newly awakened, 28% somebody should do
something
This is a complicated issue
Reasonable, 26% and I would like to do
something
This is worrying and I am
Engaged, 18% doing as much as I can
