551City of Chicago3203USAChicagoC402014Transport > Improve fuel economy and reduce CO2 from motorized vehiclesTransportImprove fuel economy and reduce CO2 from motorized vehiclesTo promote clean air and better business solutions for Chicago's hard working fleets, Drive Clean Chicago aims to accelerate the adoption of advanced vehicle technologies for the commercial truck and taxi sectors. By reducing the cost of a new alternative fuel vehicle or the development of a public alternative fuel station, Chicago fleet owners can begin to see huge economic gains while creating a sustainable future for Chicago's transportation system. Drive Clean Chicago aims to promote clean air and better business solutions for the City’s hard working fleets by providing $14 million in incentives to accelerate the adoption of alternative fuel vehicles and infrastructure for the taxi and commercial truck sectors. Funded through the Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT), Drive Clean Chicago is a ‘first come – first served’ incentive program that comprises of three innovative funds that provide rebate and voucher incentives to advance clean vehicle technologies in the Chicago 6-county area, Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry and Will.(41.8781136°, -87.6297982°)(37.09024°, -95.712891°)

584Comune di Piacenza36495ItalyPiacenza2014Other: Energy Supply > Combined heat and powerOtherEnergy Supply > Combined heat and powerDevelopment of district heating network to serve the citizens The placement in the middle of the urban center of Piacenza Edipower, which is a short distance from significant thermal loads, in recent years has allowed the preparation of solutions CHP: heat discharged from the thermodynamic cycle that generates electricity is usefully employed to satisfy a consumer thermal via a district heating network (steam generation for an industrial process, generation of hot water for heating civil, generation of water hygienic - health, etc.). The heat produced by Central Edipower is sold at Iren who is responsible for implementing and managing the district heating network, the connections and substations of users. On 18 October 2004 an agreement was signed between the multi-utility Tesa (now Iren SpA) and Edipower in which they were defined mutual commitments. The cogeneration operation eliminates all emissions of heating of the users served by the central, which are discarded or otherwise not used.(45.0519969°, 9.6926451°)(41.87194°, 12.56738°)
585City of Houston31108USAHoustonC402014Waste > Recycling or composting collections and/or facilitiesWasteRecycling or composting collections and/or facilitiesThe City is proposing a new technological innovation, One Bin for All, that will allow residents to discard all materials in one bin, treating ”trash” as valuable assets, dramatically increasing recycling using game changing technologies. This innovation was chosen by Bloomberg Philanthropies as one of 5 winners (out of 305 submissions) of the Mayors Challenge, a competition to incentivize innovation in city government and improve citizens' lives. This cost-neutral, technological innovation is a paradigm shift, changing how people think about waste and recycling. The concept of “trash” will be extinct and replaced by an understanding that all discarded material has value and can be recycled. Houston will apply proven technologies and new processes, redefining municipal solid waste from a liability to a valuable asset. This first-of-its-kind innovation uses technology in a way that has never been done before. This approach has the potential for cities across the globe to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, save money and create high value materials. Houston’s innovation will: • Provide every residence with curbside One Bin for All services; • Decrease the volume of waste sent to landfills; • Reduce air pollution; and, • Manage waste and recycling costs. Houston will divert up to 75% of its waste. Houston has evidence the technology can work, significantly increasing its recycling rate at a price that is affordable.

The City already relies on advanced treatment of household garbage to extract every bit of recycling it can, recovering two thirds of waste generated. The City is now reviewing new technologies that can do even better. Converting non-recyclable waste to energy to help power the local area is a major goal. Over 90% of the local area’s household garbage could bediverted from waste using treatment and turned into gas to help provide renewable energy. This renewable energy could be used to power the City's trigeneration network.(-33.8674869°, 151.2069902°)(-25.274398°, 133.775136°)
