Saarbrücken’s energy policy
-
- Content rating:
- Brief Case Study
- posted 15 Oct 2008
Saarbrücken is the capital of the state of Saarland in Germany. Saarbrücken’s energy policy has been at the forefront of energy efficiency and energy savings since the late 1970s. The late 1980s saw the inclusion of solar and wind energy projects. Saarbrücken’s windpark project generates enough electricity for approximately 2,500 households which is equal to the reduction of 6,500 tonnes of carbon dioxide. There has been a reduction of emissions in the public transport sector via the use of natural gas as a fuel for municipal fleet vehicles (40 buses and 200 cars). Increased use of public transport and gas for household heating have also ensured reductions in carbon dioxide emissions for the area.
