Helsinki's 2030 Climate Technologies / City Performance Tool Report 2016

Helsinki’s 2030 Climate Technologies | City Performance Tool – March 2016

BAU scenario for 2030 Helsinki’s demand for space and transport and its consumption of electricity and heating as described above is driving its greenhouse gas emissions in 2015. Figure 10 splits the city’s greenhouse gas emissions in its constituent buildings and transport parts in 2015. From the city’s total annual emissions of 2.5 megaton CO2eq, 1.9 megaton originates from the buildings sector and 600 kiloton from the transport sector.

About

Siemens modeled what kind of technologies Helsinki can use to meet its ambitious climate targets in a cost-efficient way. The City Performance Tool (CyPT) has been used in other cities such as Vienna, Copenhagen and London already. Helsinki aims to be carbon neutral by 2050. The ten chosen technologies can bring up to 50 per cent of emissions savings until 2030 compared to the emissions in 1990. Without investments in the technologies the emissions in 2030 would be only 34 per cent lower than in 1990. The City of Helsinki Environment Centre has been collaborating with Siemens by providing information for the modeling. Also other departments of the City of Helsinki were involved in choosing the technologies.
