SCC #SustainableChat Webinar
Can Cities Go 100% Renewable?A growing numbers of cities, communities and regions are proving that meeting 100% of our energy demand with renewable energy is viable. As urban areas are
responsible for 70-75% of energy related CO2 emissions and 40-50% of global GHG emissions, this is an encouraging trend.
A movement advocating for 100% renewable energy is gaining momentum among local governments, nations, islands, businesses, communities and citizens alike.
European local governments like Barcelona are pioneering this development. The Spanish city is aiming to be energy self-sufficient in 40 years. Cities in other parts of
the world like in East Asia have begun ambitious programs to become 100% renewable energy-powered in just 15 years. Further, nations from the global South like Sri Lanka aim at providing electricity for all and to meet the demand for energy
services with affordable, reliable, diverse, safe and environmentally acceptable choices and hereby primarily build on renewable sources.
This webinar outlines opportunities, strategies and presents case studies from across the world that show that 100% RE – in close conjunction with energy
efficiency & conservation – is technically doable, economically an advantage and socially anyway a better path.

MAIN REASON FOR 100% RE
V O I C E O F F U T U R E G E N E R A T I O N S
HOW THE CITY OF FRANKFURT/MAIN COULD BE SUPPLIED BY 95% RENEWABLE ENERGY FROM THE REGION BY 2050
•ENERGY STRATEGY
1. Significant increase of efficiency (in generation, CHP, demand)
2. Maximal use of local renewable energy sources
3. Energy cooperation with region
4. Smart technologies: smart grid, storage, electric vehicles,...
The city of Frankfurt/Main aims to be supplied by 100% renewable energy sources (RES) from the region by 2050
Fraunhofer ISE calculated optimized target energy systems for cities and regions with »KomMod« tool
The energy system (electricity, heating, cooling, local mobility) of Frankfurt/Main was captured, assumptions were made for energy demand and energy scenarios simulated for the target year 2050
Results
100% RES supply is possible, if the RES potential of the region is used
95% regional RES is much more economic, due to a lower storage capacity needed
