Renewable Energies and Energy Efficiency

- The Regional Approach -Dr. Martin Hoppe-Kilpper deENet | Competence Network Distributed Energy Technologies

Founded in 2003 by regional Industry and University as an association (e.V.) Today deENet has more than 110 members (Companies, University

Departments, Research Institutes, Associations etc.) Fields of competence: distributed generation, renewable energy sources,

energy efficiency Main objectives is regional value creation: common R&D activities, joint

initiatives to open new markets, development of demonstration and pilot projects etc.

Financed by membership-fees and services (mainly R&D projects) 18 employees in the main office

deENet – who we are

Climate and energy targets of the European Union

Until 2020:

cutting greenhouse gases by 20% of 1990 levels(fewer emission allowances)

increasing share of Renewables to 20% of total consumption

(national binding targets: from 10% for Malta to 49% for Sweden, Germany 18%)

cutting Energy consumption by 20%(improving Energy Efficiency)

German climacy policy: outlines and routing scenario

Germany´s climate and energy policy

Selected legal acts to lower carbon emissions and to promote Renewable Energy Sources

1995 2000 2002 2006 2008

signing of a commitment to reduce carbon emissions by 25% until 2005

Renewable Energy Sources Act binding feed-in-tariffs and obligation for grid connection

Energy Saving Act – binding efficiency measures for new buildings

Biofuel Act – binding minimum admixture share of biofuels for motor vehicles

National Initiative for Climate Protection – including diverse funding programmes for citizens, enterprises and municipalities


Essential elements: Reduction of conventional energy sources by 51% Expansion of RES to 49% Reduction of energy consumption by 45%

The implementation will develop completely new structures of energy supply

New energy efficiency technologies must be made available and have to be widely applied in industry

From 2005 until 2020 an increase of 3 % per year in energy efficiency is required.

According to the historical development - 1 % per year - this objective seems to be quite ambitious.

Prognos, EWI, 2007

Increasing Energy Productivity in Industry: 100 % until 2020 (Basis 1990)


Requirements: An increase of energy efficiency requires

technological progress as well as completely new user’s behaviour

A massive expansion of RES requires maximum utilisation also of regional RES potentials

Both requirements are supported by regional supply structures

What is meant by regional supply structures, what kind of advantages do they offer and how can they be supported purposefully?

Regional Supply Structures


Regional Energy Supply as an Economical Pillar for Regions:

An all-embracing approach allows the formation of new industrial complexes / clusters

New structures of supply will be the economical and social motor for regions! Effects on… Work and employment Research and development Construction and habitation Tourism

For this reason the regional energy policy is the centre zone of business development

Education and qualification Finance City marketing


Creation of new Jobs in Regions Preferably wide value creation chains in the region

• R&D, purchase (raw materials), production (trade), sales etc. Application of RES / energy rehabilitation of buildings etc. in the region -

small trade firms Participation of the sector in booming global markets for decentralized

energy technology –technology firms Utilisation of the regional raw material base (wood, biomass etc.) –

agricultural sector Successful marketing of regional generated products on regional markets

– strengthen regional cycles Close networking and regular exchange, realization of synergy effects –

formation of clusters


Profile of the region

www.mygeo.info

around 1 million inhabitants

former residential city Kassel as main city

long lasting engineering tradition (locomotives e.g.)

fast growing university at Kassel

Nothern Hesse – a model region

Development of a „Roadmap 2020“ for Northern Hesse

Methodology: External Environment Analysis Trend Scenarios Interviews Best Practise Examples Workshops

Main Objective: Creation of 20.000 new jobs (2020) 100% regional / decentralized electricity generation

(2035) Innovation leadership for decentralized energy supply

and energy efficiency


Industry Regional Application

“low effort” “focused effort” “maximum effort”

Job growth scenarios for Northern Hesse for 2020


Expansion of technology leadership for electrical and thermal solar systems

Expansion of industrial production in the field of decentralized energy- and efficiency technologies

Expansion of research and education / research infrastructure

Further development of the existing cooperation- and cluster structures

Strengthening of the regional added value by increased application of decentralized / renewable energy utilisation in the region

Setup of decentralized energy supply structures towards a completely regional supply

Expansion of the further education

Requirements:


Expanding Renewable Energies and implementing Energy Efficiency measures fosters the regionalization of energy supply

Regionalizing energy supply is a dynamic process with a growing impact on energy economy

Civic participation in projects fosters the sensitivity to energy issues and raises private capital

Local energy production more and more engages in competition with centralized production in large power plants

Using Renewable Energies fosters regional value creation and becomes the general principle of regional development

Municipalities, counties, regions are appropriate ranges for climate protection measures
