Bremen is some 60 km (37 mi) south from the Weser mouth on the North Sea.
SUSTAINABILITY AND
INNOVATIONS IN BREMEN
There are many examples of sustainability being put into practice in Bremen
The city distinguishes itself through its dedication on the entrenchment of sustainability into daily life
Solar and wind energy play a great role as do numerous
hybrid busses in the public transport system, the new
hydropower station and Bremen’s title of "Capital City
of Fair Trade". Sustainability is firmly established in the
people of Bremen’s daily lives.
Economical Sustainability
Economical sustainability is largely due to the universities and research institutes of Bremen
The strategic and thereby long-term unification of education and research with commerce is a pillar of economic sustainability
Whether it’s the Technology Park surrounding the university, the House of Science or one of the many networking events – in Bremen there are many opportunities for the transfer of knowledge.
Innovation and sustainability for
2020
Bremen’s mission statement for 2020
accords to the motto
Bremen! Liveable –Urban – Connected
Innovative and sustainable economic
developments will play a crucial role on
the way to the future
By 2020, Bremen would like to
Create the conditions in which expenditures
for research and development in commerce
and science can be increased.
Establish itself as centre of competence in
climate protection, efficient energy
production and renewable energy.
• A very energy and resource efficient alternative to urban sprawl
European Dense City
• Too many cars
• Lack of Public space and place for greening
• Parking a sensitive political issue
Problems
• Car sharing
Solution
1) CAR BOOKING & SHARING
Car booking can be done through call or
online system
Various mobile points are available where
the booked car can be collected from the
nearest station (43 stations in total)
700 private cars replaced by Car-sharing(3100 customers)
The Bremen Car-Sharer shows a reduction of about 5 million kilometres driven less by car (per
year)
Increase the use of Public Transport and environmentally friendly transport
Reduction of CO2 emissions of about 1.9 tons per year
Improve environment qualities of cities
Car-Sharing is a tool for sustainable and energy efficient urban development
It gives an alternative to car-ownership - and supplements the environmentally friendly modes of transport
It is a kind of 'mobility insurance' for cases when other modes are not sufficient
The integration into intermodal chains and into urban development is key factors of the further development
2) ENHANCED ENVIRONMENTAL
FRIENDLY VEHICLES (EEV)
Term used in the European emission standards for the
definition of a clean vehicle.
The most severe exhaust emission standard for internal
combustion engines issued to date.
Clean vehicles to improve air quality
Bremen worked on increasing environmental performance
of heavy- and light duty fleet vehicles.
Economic incentives to switch to more environmentally
friendly fuels were implemented
Clean Diesel Buses
Since 2006, all new buses have fulfilled
the EEV emission standard and now
almost the entire fleet meets the EEV
standard
(Enhanced Environmental Vehicles)
Clean cars
Compressed natural gas (CNG)- In January 2011, there were approximately 350 CNG
vehicles that resulted in a 60% decrease in NOx
emissions
- Partnership with gas provider
Electric- Partnership with energy provider
Collective Transport (Public Transport)
Easy interchange between different
Public Transport modes
- buses
- bicycle
- taxi
Cycling – Individual Transport Modes
Current share of cycling, 26% (By 2020,
target is at least 30%)
The bicycle is the ultimate zero-emission-
vehicle
‘cycle streets’ with priority for cyclists
Infrastructure
Cycle parking with good bicycle racks
(decentralised)
~ 2500 racks inner city
On-street bike racks
Interchange / Bike Parking
Safe storage 3,000 bikes at Central
Station
Bike-racks at all regional train stops
Differences Between Train and
Tram Systems
TRAIN
• Heavyrail transport system
• Run on specialised track
• Separated from traffic
TRAM
• Lightweight rail system
• Run on lines that are part of the road
• Share space with road traffic
