City of Turku Climate and Environment Programme 2009-2013

Guiding principles / programme aims:

• Reducing GHG emissions

• Improving energy-efficiency

• Increasing the use of renewable energy

• Promoting sustainable mobility and developing public transport

• Applying sustainable procurement and logistics

• Reducing the greenhouse impact of waste management

• Protecting water bodies (esp. Archipelago / Baltic Sea)

• Promoting Biodiversity

• Building environmental competencies and responsibility

• Environmental/SD education

5

Guiding principle Target Indicator Resource impact (2010-2013)

To reduce greenhouse gas

emissions.

A reduction of at least

30%/inhabitant from the 1990

level by 2020 and a reduction of

at least 20% in total emissions.

Emissions calculated in a

consumption-based manner

using the Kasvener model (t-

CO2-equivalent, monitored in

relation to the annual reduction

according to the target)*.

Use of labour and investments

to implement the programme.

To improve energy

efficiency.

A 9% improvement from the

2005 level by 2016 (Energy

Efficiency Agreement).

Energy savings per year

(MWh/year).

Produces energy savings.

Investments mainly

implemented according to the

ESCO principle (external

capital, which is repaid from

the energy saved).

20% improvement from the

2005 level by 2020 (EU’s

indicative target).

Energy savings per year

(MWh/year).

Working time reserved for

personnel training.

Examples of programme structure…

To increase the use of

renewable energy sources.

At least 50% of district heating

will be produced using

renewables by 2020.

The share of renewables in

district heating production.

Investment costs included in the

Turku Energy plans.

100% of the electricity

purchased by the city will be

produced using renewables by

2013.

The share of renewables in

electricity procured by the city.

An increase of about EUR

50,000-100,000 in the cost of the

city’s electricity per year.

7


To promote the use of

sustainable modes of

transport and

develop public transport.

The share of light and public

transport in Turku is over 55%

in 2013 and over 66% in 2030.

Modal split*

(2013)

A bicycle route network

through downtown Turku will

be completed in 2015.

Progress of the network and its

inclusion in the Municipal

Property Corporation’s annual

investment plan.

The overall cost estimate for

construction is EUR 2-4 million.

The regional public transport

organisation is operating in

2012.

Establishment of the

organisation.

Distribution of costs between

those in the organisation and

the municipalities using its

services.

Full implementation of public

transport trunk route network

by 2020.

Implementation of trunk route

network (in phases).

Cost impacts on investments

and subsidisation will be

assessed in conjunction with the

decisions on arranging public

transport.

8


Sustainable procurement

and logistics

Sustainable development

criteria will be taken into

account in all city tenders in

2013 (intermediate target of

80% in 2011).

Use of sustainable development

criteria in calls for tender

annually (share of all calls for

tender).

May raise procurement prices

somewhat but will conserve

natural resources and

emphasise social responsibility.

10% reduction in internal city

transports from 2008 to 2013.

Number of internal

transports/year (% reduction).

Will lead to savings.

9


Increased environmental

expertise and responsibility

Approximately 30% of daycare

centres and educational

institutions have a green flag

symbol or some other external

symbol of sustainable

development work in 2013.

Share of all daycare centres and

educational institutions with an

external symbol of sustainable

development.

Participation fee of EUR 100-

500/unit/year (totalling approx.

EUR 15,000/year). Will produce

savings in waste, water and

energy costs.

At least one eco-support person

will be designated for each

administrative unit in all

sectors, municipal enterprises

and affiliated companies by

2013.

The share of all administrative

units in the sectors, municipal

enterprises and affiliated

companies with an eco-support

person.

Working time for participation

in planning, instruction and

training.

Turku Energia’s objective is to

exceed 60 % renevable

milestone by the year 2020:

1. New regional CHP plant with

increased renewable capacity

2. Expansion of Oriketo bioheating

plant

3. Expansion of the Kakola heat

pump plant

4. Waste incineration plant

5. Biogas from the Topinoja landfill

6. Heat recovery from the industrial

and residential premises

How to best complement the development of the centralized renewable energy production portfolio with decentralized renewable energy, energy-efficiency and smart grid?

Prepare knowledge-basis on Smart Energy System for Turku region

OBJECTIVE 4: Build up the knowledge-basis

• The city is lagging behind – constantly – as it was always

aimed for tomorrow but designed yesterday.

• Current structures are sectorial – most of the current and

emerging challenges are not.

• Change is rapid and an improved knowledge-ability is required

but we have had insufficient practices for that.

As responses, we have:

New co-operation with research

New co-operation with the business sector

Organisational development

Capacity-development of staff

Turku Urban Research Programme

• Developed and implemented jointly with the universities

• Being increasingly informed by research should promote abilities in

policy-design and decision-making.

• Consultative practices for implications of existing academic knowledge

• Remarkable contributions have been made for design of actions on

climate and environment.

Knowledge-ability

Conditions of development, restructuring and success

Information on context-specific development which supports

collaboration with other cities or institutions

Tools to manage multi-disciplinary information, measuring and

evaluations

The programme is a new mechanism to create knowledge together and to

make use of the existing one.

New cooperation projects with businesses for learning together

Piloting in the World Business Council’s Urban Infrastructure Initiative 2010 – 2011

• Identifying the infrastructure challenges of Turku and analysing potential solutions from businesses

• Enhanced joint knowledge-creation and planning process.

Strategic Partnership with Siemens 2012 – 2014

• Combining the perspectives for making Turku “future-ready”.

• Developing the company’s approach and contributions towards small and medium-sized cities.

• www.turku.fi/siemens

Large “local coalition” mobilised for a local sustainable transport solution

• Biogas from local sources by local producers for local transport
