|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 701 | 35868 | Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg | Hamburg | Germany | Europe | Public | 2017 | On-site renewable energy generation | Buildings | Local heating plants or networks | (53.5510846°, 9.9936818°) | (51.165691°, 10.451526°) | ||
| 702 | 50555 | City of Hamilton | Hamilton | Canada | North America | Public | 2017 | Energy efficiency/ retrofit measures | Buildings | 0 | Energy efficiency projects include lighting efficiency upgrades, heating and cooling systems upgrades, and Building Automation Systems in arenas, libraries, fire stations, lodges and corporate buildings were conducted over 2014. Total emission reductions are unknown at this time. | (43.250021°, -79.866091°) | (56.130366°, -106.346771°) | |
| 703 | 50555 | City of Hamilton | Hamilton | Canada | North America | Public | 2017 | LED / CFL / other luminaire technologies | Outdoor Lighting | 1180 | The City of Hamilton continues to improve energy efficiency on its Streetlighting. In 2014, a conversion of 1,135 streetlights to energy efficient LED fixtures was completed reducing energy consumption by 1.2 M kWh annually and a GHG reduction of 118 tCo2e annually. An additional 10,000 streetlight fixtures will be replaced throughout 2015 resulting in lower energy use and lower emissions. - project lifetime assumed to be 10 years | (43.250021°, -79.866091°) | (56.130366°, -106.346771°) | |
| 704 | 50555 | City of Hamilton | Hamilton | Canada | North America | Public | 2017 | On-site renewable energy generation | Buildings | 300 | The Hamilton Water Biogas Purification Unit captures excess methane gas from the anaerobic digestion process of waste water products and it is purified, treated and conditioned to yield utility grade natural gas that is injected into the Union Gas distribution system. This gas is sold at market rates and results in emission reductions of roughly 15 tonnes CO2e. Project life assumed to be 20 years. | (43.250021°, -79.866091°) | (56.130366°, -106.346771°) | |
| 705 | 50555 | City of Hamilton | Hamilton | Canada | North America | Public | 2017 | On-site renewable energy generation | Buildings | 1000000 | Renewable energy generation initiatives have contributed to further reduce GHG emissions for the City’s Corporate operations as follows: The City through Hamilton Renewable Power Inc. (HRPI) owns and operates three 1.6 Megawatt (MW) renewable gas fuelled units. Two units are located at the Glanbrook landfill site. The third unit is located at the Hamilton Water site on Woodward Avenue, and is a cogeneration unit that produces electricity and heat. These units use methane as a renewable fuel source to produce electricity which is secured through long term contracts with the province. These operations all contribute to a more efficient and sustainable process as they continue to displace use of conventional fuels and offset GHG emissions. The system produces approximately 31,000,000 kWh of renewable energy annually with a reduction of emissions in excess of 100,000 tonnes CO2e (CO2 equivalent). Project life assumed 10 years. | (43.250021°, -79.866091°) | (56.130366°, -106.346771°) | |
| 706 | 50555 | City of Hamilton | Hamilton | Canada | North America | Public | 2017 | Transit oriented development | Community-Scale Development | 86000 | The City’s Public Works Transportation Division has initiated a Transit Capital Fleet Replacement plan to add CNG fuelled buses as per the 2014 Transit Capital Fleet Replacement and Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Station Replacement (PW12017b) report. Hamilton Street Railway (HSR) is managing an incremental migration from diesel fueled transit buses to the CNG fueled transit buses. The COH has entered into a partnership with Union Gas for the design and build of a new state of the art compressor station that will be operated by the City to fuel the expanded CNG bus fleet. In the fall of 2015, 18 existing CNG buses that are due for replacing will remain CNG fuel type rather than switched to diesel. Over the next 6-7 years, 110 existing diesel buses that are scheduled to be retired will be fitted to operate on CNG fuel. This project has been estimated to yield a savings of 86 Kilo-tons of CO2e over twenty years or a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions of 20 to 25% | (43.250021°, -79.866091°) | (56.130366°, -106.346771°) | |
| 707 | 50555 | City of Hamilton | Hamilton | Canada | North America | Public | 2017 | Transportation demand management | Private Transport | 0 | The City has promoted many transportation demand management programs available to employees such as secure bicycle parking, employee transit passes, car-pooling, car sharing and the Sobi Bicycle Share Program scheduled to be launched in 2015. While these programs further offset GHG generating modes of transportation, we continue to seek measurable data in terms of emissions reductions from participants. | (43.250021°, -79.866091°) | (56.130366°, -106.346771°) | |
