Introduction of all Sub-themes
ENERGY EFFICIENCY
The first step – and the quickest and cheapest way to reduce energy-related CO2 - is to use less energy, by reducing and managing demand and improving the efficiency of energy use.
De-carbonizing energy generation is the next step along the path to a low-carbon economy
The Response so Far….
Typical Carbon Footprint & Components: South Hampshire, UK
POWER Theme 1: ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Exploring ways of reducing the overall energy consumption of the partner regions through
• policy• regulation• promotion • incentives
Two subthemes…….
ENERGY EFFICIENCY Subtheme 1.1
Development and delivery of Public Sector Energy Efficiency Strategies and Action Plans to support low-carbon economies
Sharing best practice which can be delivered across partner regions…..
ENERGY EFFICIENCY Subtheme 1.2
Public Sector Strategies, Programmes and Initiatives to improve theenergy efficiency and reduce the carbon footprint of existing buildings,particularly the public housing stock
Key focus on the problem of existing buildings – which, in the UK, could represent 70% of the housing stock in 2050….

“Driving Low Carbon Economies across Europe”
15 & 16 October 2009 Seville, Spain

Energy Agency
Theme 2:
Renewable Energy:
Exploring ways of increasing the share of energy generated by renewables, including solar thermal; solar photovoltaic energy; high temperature thermal systems; wind energy; hydro power; biomass production for electricity, heating and cooling; sustainable biofuels; district heating and Combined Heat and Power (CHP) schemes
Sub-theme 2.1:Large-scale deployment of renewable energy schemes: identifying and developing transferable best practice in the public sector to promote successful delivery and to maximize benefit to the regional economy and environment and society
Aims: To optimise public sector interventions to achieve the sustainable deployment of renewable energy schemes on a large scale.
Sub-theme 2.2:Biomass Energy and Sustainable Resource Management: Identifying and sharing best practice
Aims:To identify and promote an integrated and sustainable approach to energy from biomass, including energy crops, biomass heat, biofuels, energy from waste, electricity from biomass.
THEME 3 : Eco-Innovation & Environmental Technologies
Develop & deliver ‘place-based’ initiatives and programmes in the field of sustainable construction, including indoor climate and
sustainable neighbourhoods.
3.1. Living Environment
3.1. Living Environment
Investigate innovative ways to reduce CO2 and improve the quality of life and health in the living environment, indoor and within the
residential area.
AIM
3.1. Living Environment
EXAMPLES
Sustainable new buildings Use of innovative green materials/products Design for lower energy consumption Local decentralised supply of energy, green neighbourhoods with fewer cars,
3.1. Living Environment
Suggested delivery organisations &
partners Local & regional authorities, public bodies, Universities, Business support agencies, Voluntary and not for profit organisations, Environmental agencies, energy agencies, Technology networks, enterprise clusters,
3.1. Living Environment
Potential results to work towards:
Reduced levels of Carbon in construction Significant number of existing buildings renovated Significant improvement in energy and water-efficiency in buildings – from design stage to delivery Large-scale expansion in use of renewable energy technologies Increased use of recycled materials in construction.
3.2. Cleaner technology
Development and implementation of a programme in the field of cleaner technologies to achieve the ‘double dividend’ – of a reduction of carbon emissions and creation of business opportunities.
3.2. Cleaner technology
Explore and develop innovative ways to create greater opportunities in cleaner technologies, with a special focus on start-ups and SMEs.
Identify and promote replicable best practice.
AIM
EXAMPLES
New business models for cleaner technologies Identifying drivers and barriers for ‘green’ businesses Promoting a common European standard (language) for green technologies.
3.2. Cleaner technology
EXAMPLES
Promoting the implementation of new technological solutions & processes in Green Public Procurement (GPP) Identification of the regional needs for new environmental solutions & analysis of possible technological solutions using methods such as eco-design, eco-efficiency, etc. Methods of eco-technology assessment.
3.2. Cleaner technology
Suggested delivery organisations &
partners Local & regional authorities, public bodies, Universities, Business support agencies, Voluntary and not for profit organisations, Environmental agencies, energy agencies, Technology networks, enterprise clusters,
3.2. Cleaner technology
Potential results to work towards:
Significant increase in the number of green start-up companies Reduction greenhouse gases Mainstreaming of Green Public Procurement Increased use of sustainable clean technologies in the private sector

How to change behaviour? /1The Policy targets (1)
•Change the perception of the bad effects of climate change in every-day life and the consciousness that the local /individual effects come from the global effects which, in turn, are the total sum of local actions
•Change the reaction of the society actors (business sector, households, public sector) with the role of producing and selling -
supply side - and buying and consuming - demand side.
The public sector, the institutions, can play an additional role of leading these change by means of regulations, incentives, disincentives: we need to enforce it, in order to move as quick as possible toward “a low carbon economy”
How to change behaviour? /1The Policy targets (2)
•Change the economic development model
Need for a “life style” coherent with the changed international context as the financial crisis bring us to think more and more seriously about it

5.1 Behaviour change
How to change behaviour? /3The “toolbox” (1)
• Information and education programmes and actions for consumers (including Public administrations trough e.g. Green
Public Procurement) in order to committee a smart low-carbon productions (i.e agricultural products directly retailed by the farmers, Eco-labelled recycled products, energy saving house,
alternative energies, etc,) and services (ì.e. eco-friendly transports, Energy services etc.)Success stories can generate durable network for exchanging
experiences in different communities.
Demand side approach
How to change behaviour? /3The “toolbox” (2)
• Training program and marketing campaign encouraging producers (incl. Public Administrations as service producers) of smart low-carbon productions (incl. energy saving buildings and
alternative energies producers/sellers) and services (i.e. eco-
friendly transports, energy services etc.) to offer them also by means of innovative Public & Private partnerships.Success stories can generate durable networks for exchanging experiences on productive sectors
Supply-side approach
How to change behaviour? /3The “toolbox” (3)
• Financial instruments (i.e. taxes, incentives, awards, etc.) or other planning tools (e.g. location of industrial parks) by Regional AuthoritiesScreening, comparison and effectiveness at macro-level.
Economy-wide approach
How to develop a POWER project on Behaviour Change as the main topic? /1
Issues to be considered
•The good practice/examples to be shared (one or more actions as a local action plan)•The cost/effectiveness in applying these actions compared with “business as usual” (without the intervention)•The feasibility evaluation of the “good practice” application (mainly from the financial point of view, including the bureaucracy burden)•The promotion/diffusion of results in order to positively affect the other aspects of the economy and the society.

Outputs, results, indicatorsPotential Outputs and Outcomes to be achieved:An assessment of successful behaviour-change initiativesIdentification of best practicesA web-based ‘catalogue’ of effective tools and techniquesPartner regions to use the ‘toolbox’ and ‘catalogue’ to develop their own strategies for influencing attitudes and behaviour to achieve a low/zero-carbon societyIndicators:Assessment of the potential for carbon savings from successful application of the ‘toolbox’ and ‘catalogue’Extent to which transferable best practice is newly applied in partner regionsPotential Results to work towards:Transformational changes in attitudes and behaviour which, with the support of low/zero carbon technologies and sustainable support systems, will deliver a low/zero carbon future, to mitigate dangerous climate change.
