635City of Lahti54402FinlandLahti2015Private TransportAwareness and education for non motorized transportThese actions are partly municipial and partly dependend on residents' actions: Developing cycling routes. New procurement strategy in public transport and better service level. New energy solutions for public transport. Public transport and cycling solution related to new Travel Centre. Common ticket system in Lahti and Helsinki metropolitan region. Promoting e-cars and their charging infrastructure. Promoting e-services in Lahti City organization.(60.9833°, 25.65°)(61.92411°, 25.748151°)
636City of Lahti54402FinlandLahti2015Finance and Economic DevelopmentDeveloping the green economyIn the Lahti Group level, environmental issues are included in all procurement. The sustainable procurement rules are developed not only at the concern level, as procurement programme, but also at unit level. Environmental programs are required from potential service providers of social and health services. The procurement criteria are improved and diversified to advance sustainable development in technical and environmental services. In addition, environmental goals will be included in every procurement process related to built environment.(60.9833°, 25.65°)(61.92411°, 25.748151°)

638City of Lahti54402FinlandLahti2015Energy SupplyLow or zero carbon energy supply generation4800080% of Lahti's buildings are connected to distric heating system. So how that energy is created, effects greatly how much GHG emissions will be emitted from the city-wide area. The largest emission reduction targets are in distric heating system, -56 000 tons CO2_ekv (1990-2020). However, at the same time use of electricity is estimated to increase (despite better energy-effiency and green electricity) by 8000 t CO2_ekv. Kymijärvi II is the first gasification power plant in the world to efficiently generate electricity and district heat from Solid Recovered Fuel. Its commercial use started on May 2012. The city-owned Lahti Energy Ltd. plans to build new CHP plant would be able to burn a wide range of fuels, including biomass, coal, peat, RDF and natural gas. The plant could burn up to a million tonnes of biomass per year. It would replace the ageing Kymijärvi I power plant fired mostly on coal. This Bio2020 power plant plays the key role on Lahti’s path to its challenging GHG emission targets set into year 2025. Other actions: Supporting residents' choices by creating and launching an Eco efficient energy services (EEES. It is an e-service, which is based on GIS of excisting energy information (energy use of buildings) as well as new information (one building scale map of solar energy potential). E-service helps builders to consider other energy sources for his/her building or property, in 2016.(60.9833°, 25.65°)(61.92411°, 25.748151°)
639City of Lahti54402FinlandLahti2015WasteRecycling or composting collections and/or facilitiesLahti is in forefront of waste management. Päijät-Häme Waste Disposal Ltd provides waste management services for Lahti and 11 other municipalities in Päijät-Häme area. In biogas issues, the city-owned company aims to make its landfill gas collecting system more efficient in Kujala waste management centre. Furthermore, it started to collect and utilise landfill gas emitted from the closed landfill areas. In Kujala area, there is LABIO Ltd’s new biogas plant which started to operate autumn 2014. Rest of the mass is then composted for agriculture.(60.9833°, 25.65°)(61.92411°, 25.748151°)
