Study of Energy Agency Freiburg § Sectors covered: private household, small scale
industries, trade and services, industry, energy conversion (related to 2010), transport sector excluded
§ Freiburg and surrounding districts „Emmendingen“ (680 km2) and „Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald“ (1380 km2)
§ Renewables: wind energy, hydro power, photovoltaics, solar thermal energy, geothermal energy, biomass (biogas), wood, saving of energy
§ Target: technical/economical overall potential (including already exploited potential)
§ Specification of upper and lower potential

Results
§ Energy supply by 100% in the region possible – at least 50% energy savings required
§ Biggest potential at electricity sector: wind and photovoltaics § Biggest potential at heating sector: biomass, solar thermal energy
§ 100% goal for „electricity“ easier than for „heating“
§ Strategy for matching renewable energy production and consumption (smart grid, storage)
§ Big free potentials (80-90%) besides hydropower, biomass and wood
§ For development of potentials investments of approx. 15 billions € are necessary: 3 billion € for renewables, 12 billion € for refurbishment of residential buildings (annual energy costs for the region are approx. 0.9 billion €/a)

Challenges
§ Transport sector and transport concepts
§ Heating and cooling
§ Storage of energy
§ Match of production and consumption
§ Commercialization
§ Economic incentives, investments
§ Regulational framework
§ Sustainablity – balance between ecologic, economic and social aspects
