CO2-Minderungsstrategie für den Großraum Hannover. Langfassung und Fallstudien. Gutachten

The energy and environmental concept for the region of Hannover indicates considerable potentials for energy saving, for environmental improvements and for the substitution of some conventional energy sources by sources with no or low emissions. Through the spartially directed integration of measures in different sectors the concept elaborated here can also contribute to the solution of future energy and environmental policy tasks - especially the necessary reduction of carbon dioxide emissions. It was shown that possibilities for local authority influence also lie in the creation of local energy advice centres and in the transportation sector. A further field of activity for the region of Hannover is local electricity production via CHP, although the utilization is tampered by a member of institutional and economic obstacles.
