Mayors voluntarily commit to go beyond Europe’s energy objectives for 2020, by reducing the CO2 emissions in their territories by at least 20% compared to a baseline year through the implementation of Sustainable Energy Action Plans (SEAPs)

The Covenant of Mayors

Fast growing and successful initiative!

Covenant of Mayors EAST

The European Commission since 2011 supports the Covenant of Mayors in 6 Eastern Partnership countries (Azerbaijan, Armenia, Belarus, Moldova, Georgia, Ukraine) and 5 Central Asian countries (Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan).

The inclusion in the Covenant of Mayors will help to reduce their dependency on fossil fuels, improve security of their energy supply, and increase their contribution to climate mitigation.

Cleaner energy-saving Mediterranean cities•It supports the efforts of local authorities in the ENPI South Mediterranean Partner Countries (Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, occupied Palestinian Territories, Syria and Tunisia) to respond more actively to sustainable policy challenges. •The project aims to develop the capacities of local authorities in the region to formulate and implement sustainable local policies, such as those implied by joining the Covenant of Mayors.

•The project will also contribute to making national authorities more aware of and responsive to the need for and advantages of a strong involvement of cities in local sustainable policy issues.

Covenant of Mayors SOUTH

Transport is responsible for around a quarter of EU greenhouse gas emissions making it the second biggest greenhouse gas emitting sector after energy.

Road transport alone contributes about one-fifth of the EU's total emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2).

While emissions from other sectors are generally falling, those from transport have increased 36% since 1990.

The EU has policies in place to reduce emissions from a range of modes of transport

EE in Transport

WHITE PAPERRoadmap to a Single European Transport Area – Towards a Competitive and Resource-Efficient Transport System

3 main strategies for a competitive and resource-efficient transport system and for achieving the 60% GHG emission reduction target

Developing and deploying new sustainable fuels and propulsion systems

Optimising the performance of multimodal logistic chains, including by making greater use of more energy-efficient modes

Increasing the efficiency of transport and of infrastructure use with information systems and market-based incentives

A wide range of EU policies have been developed to lower emissions from transport:

aviation has been included in the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS);

a strategy is in place to reduce emissions from cars and vans, including emissions targets for new vehicles;

a target is in place to reduce the greenhouse gas intensity of fuels (fuel quality directive);

rolling resistance limits and tyre labelling requirements have been introduced and tyre pressure monitors made mandatory on new vehicles;

public authorities are required to take account of life time energy use and CO2 emissions when procuring vehicles.

Interoperability

• Goals:• Support standardization, promoting a EU/US common approach • Address the interoperability issues between e-vehicles & smart

grids (including ICT)• Provide testing facilities for electric vehicles and the related

equipment • Ensure a permanent link with car industry operative on EU and US

markets

A Letter of Intent (LoI) signed in 2012 with DoE :Common Activities in EV/SG Interoperability Labs at Argonne National Laboratories and JRC

Cooperation with Turkey on EE The adoption of EE policy package similar to the EU based on efficiency

standards and labels for equipment (Eco-design), energy performance of

buildings requirements (EPBD), and the promotion of investments in energy

efficiency (Energy Efficiency Directive) is key to improve EE.

Buildings should be the priority area of action. The priority should be the

refurbishment of existing buildings. For new building the focus should be towards

Net Zero Energy buildings with the adoption of renewable energy sources.

Adoption of efficiency requirements similar to the EU could help Turkish industry

(appliances, lighting, consumer electronics) in exporting and would increase EE

domestically.

Financing energy efficiency including the development of ESCOs and EPC is

important for deployment of EE solutions as well as energy management.

IN FOCUS

Conclusions

•Implementation of the EED in the EU Member States is key

•New and innovative financing instruments are needed to trigger investments in energy efficiency.

•The new energy management standard ISO 50001 and the implementation of CHP are key instruments to improve energy efficiency in the industrial sector.

•Commitment of cities to Covenant of Mayors is key

•Development and deployment of new technologies is an important aspect for an efficient transport and competitive industry
