Increasing congestion and market changes (such as the growth in e-commerce) are driving businesses to explore the use of pedal-only and e-assist cargo cycles for goods movement in recent years. Furthermore, there is a growing interest in the use of dockless scooters, which are made by companies like Dropbike and Lime and are already in use in many cities across North America.However, the City of Toronto does not have any regulations around these vehicles, and regulation at the federal or provincial level is unclear. Dockless e-scooters may not meet provincial standards for on-road use.Existing municipal bylaws around e-assist cycles (referred to as power-assisted bicycles or pedelecs in municipal bylaws) may discourage the use of certain e-assist cargo cycles carrying heavier loads. In Toronto, power-assisted bicycles over 40kg are not allowed in bicycle paths, bicycle lanes, and cycle tracks, which may limit the use of e-assist cargo cycles given that many are typically over this weight.The City has an opportunity to proactively review its policies to provide regulatory clarity for residents and for businesses which are interested in the use of cargo cycles, scooters, and other vehicles. Distinguishing between different types of cycles is necessary in order to regulate what is appropriate for use in different bikeways and/or our roadways and sidewalks.Toronto is currently looking to regulations regarding E-scooters and E-cargo Cycles.

| 10025 | 2020 | 54513 | Municipality of Uppsala | Uppsala | Sweden | Europe | public | SEK Swedish Krona | Energy Supply > Smart grid | Innovation and Collaboration to solve Local Power Capacity Shortage: Coordinet | Financial mechanism | Implementation | Uppsala, like many metropolitan areas of densely populated southern Sweden, is now experiencing significant capacity constraints in the electrical transmission grid. This problem threatens to stunt the growth and economic development of these regions. The capacity situation appeared without warning in 2017 and is due to an aging transmission grid, rapid growth of cities, and the electrification of industries, building heating systems and the transport sector. The present energy markets do not address the value of power created when there are transmission grid bottlenecks. The National grid operator, Svenska kraftnät (SvK) has warned the public that it will take 10-15 years to upgrade the grid in order to resolve these capacity issues. This is a problematic timeframe as Uppsala is in the midst of a major growth and development phase. The municipality has signed a contract with the national government to build a new large scale city district during this period.Uppsala has chosen to take a proactive and collaborative leadership focus for this challenge. The municipality is working closely with grid operators, local innovation clusters, and the national energy agency to engage as many actors as possible in solutions for the capacity situation. Here are some examples of projects that municipality active in: CoordiNet (2019-2022)CoordiNet is a 19 MEUR European Union project with a focus on coordinating electrical grid actors and customers in order to reduce peaks in the power grid and access more local power production. The project creates local markets which gives customers an economic incentive to move their power demand or contribute power to the grid during peak consumption times. Svenska kraftnät (SvK), Vattenfall Eldistribution, and Eon are the grid operators that lead the Swedish Demonstration. Uppsala Municipality is a partner in CoordiNet and will act as an aggregator at the demonstration of the local market in Uppsala County. The municipal owned companies will contribute power or move their power consumption and the municipality will take this collective reduction or production to the market.Live-in Smartgrid (2018-2022)Live-In Smartgrid is local project in Uppsala County which creates testbeds for electrical power flexibility. Power “flexibility” is any kind of technical solution that allows a grid customer to move their power usage for a period of time. For example, in buildings with heat pumps this could mean turning off the heat pump for a short amount of time during a peak in the power grid. The testbed might be a small community of homes that allow their heat pumps to be steered. Another example, a mobility garage with a lot of electric vehicle charging points installs energy storage solutions and smart controls that ensure the electric vehicles do not impact the grid during peaks.

This is one of the key goals identified in TransformTO, the City’s climate action strategy. The EV Strategy is one of many initiatives informing Toronto’s approach to sustainable transportation. It focuses on activities for passenger light duty vehicle electrification (i.e. personal vehicles, which include cars, vans, trucks and SUVs, for personal and shared use), which represented 30% of the City’s GHG emissions in 2017. Meanwhile, the City has a wide range of other transportation and land use policies, programs, and infrastructure initiatives that are either underway or planned to increase the use of more sustainable transportation modes (e.g. walking, cycling, or public transit).By using an electric drivetrain, EVs eliminate tailpipe emissions, which can lead to a number of benefits for the City and its residents and businesses including: • Reducing GHG emissions: Local GHG emissions for EVs are much lower than those of gasoline vehicles. A 2018 study using Ontario’s average grid electricity determined that EVs can release as little as 4% of the CO2eq emissions of a gasoline vehicle; • Improving resident health: Air quality improvements, noise pollution reduction, and a reduction in the urban heat island effect are three key benefits of transportation electrification; • Strengthening the local economy: As EVs cost less to operate and maintain, EV owners will have more disposable income for non-transportation needs (once the total cost of ownership reaches parity with gasoline vehicles); EVs can help support the optimal use of electricity generation by leveraging vehicle-grid integration technologies; and new business and job opportunities can present itself through growth in the clean-tech sector. | Feasibility finalized, and finance partially secured | Local | https://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2020/ie/bgrd/backgroundfile-141449.pdf | 2919971 | 2018 | {"type"=>"Point", "coordinates"=>[-79.3832, 43.6532]} | 2021-07-16T02:19:09.367 | ||||||

The Government updated the framework in 2015 to enhance the environmental performance framework of new and existing government buildings. Bureaux/departments have been advised to strengthen energy saving efforts such as appointing green managers/wardens and adopting green housekeeping measures. All new government buildings should aim to outperform the Code of Practice for Energy Efficiency of Building Services Installation (the “Building Energy Code” or “BEC”) by 3% to 10%.The Government has also been leading by example in implementing energy saving programmes within Government departments. The Government has taken the lead to set specific electricity reduction targets for Government buildings since 2003. We have already achieved an energy saving of over 15% over the past decade. On top of this, the Government has set a target of 5% saving in the electricity consumption of government buildings from 2015/16 to 2019/20 under comparable operating conditions in 2013/14. To achieve this target, a series of measures have been introduced, including the conduct of energy audits for about 340 major government buildings with comparatively high annual electricity consumption to identify energy management opportunities. About HK$900 million ( ~ USD$115,197,786) has been earmarked to gradually implement electricity saving projects identified in the energy audits.

Two areas of action must be taken into consideration in defining the strategy: 1. large real estate assets, with respect to which an initial consultation activity is assumed to identify a regulatory device that governs their energy requalification; 2. widespread ownership, which presents elements of high complexity, in relation to the difficulty of decision-making processes at the condominium level, the different spending capacity of the subjects, the need to have guarantees regarding reliability, both from a technical and economic point of view, of the offers submitted by building administrators, the lack of knowledge of the available incentive tools and contractual forms. In particular, for large real estate properties, the municipal administration intends to define a strategy for the involvement of the owners and managers of large assets (offices, large commercial structures, hotels, cooperatives of inhabitants, religious institutes, etc.) in order to define a regulatory device that can be incorporated in the future revision of the City Master Plan. With respect to widespread ownership, accompanying and support measures will have to be studied that allow users to be reached and informed and facilitate decision-making, providing the necessary guarantees.In-depth activities are also envisaged on the techniques of redevelopment of the building envelope and the execution of pilot projects with innovative techniques. The implementation of this measure makes use of the activities carried out as part of the ClimateKic initiatives for the year 2020 (DDMI (Deep Demonstration Milan) project, specifically, as part of the project, in which the Politecnico di Milano participates, a mapping of the Milan building will be developed, based on certain characteristics such as construction period and energy performance, in order to to identify recurring types, with respect to which to identify the most effective efficiency measures. "Milano Transition Fund 2026" project, aimed at testing an innovative finance mechanism for the deep energy requalification of buildings, will provide elements on the financing front of the interventions, the proposal of industrialized technologies for the requalification and modalities of "citizens' engagement". | Pre-feasibility study status | 904100000 | 1404431 | 2019 | {"type"=>"Point", "coordinates"=>[9.08635, 45.8026]} | 2021-07-16T02:19:09.367 | |||||

Instead, the Master Plan proposes a target to reduce the net energy used by buildings in the City of Sydney local government area by 31 per cent by 2030 on 2006 levels. The Master Plan shows how this can be achieved, despite significant growth in the economy and new floor space by 2030. This is equivalent to a doubling of energy productivity. The Master Plan includes 11 enabling actions to achieve this target. Implementing the Master Plan is the single biggest action the City can take to meet our target of a 70 per cent reduction in carbon emissions by 2030 based on 2006 levels within the local government area.

In light of this policy, various efforts have been undertaken to preserve, restore and preserve the environment and ecosystems in the State of Penang.The use of unmanaged plastic bags can pose a huge threat to the environment and health if there is no careful planning on the management of the use of the plastic materials. Plastic bags take 400 to 1000 years to decompose completely before they become fine particles. Plastic bags are typically produced from poisonous chemicals such as xylene, ethylene oxide and benzene that are harmful to the environment and health. Hence, No Free Plastic Bag Campaign was introduced in Penang as a one of the main thrusts in implementing Cleaner, Greener, Safer, Healthier & Happier Penang policy. The campaign which kicked off in 2009 is now in its second phase of inception and is now known as Plastic Bag 2.0. Among the main objectives of Plastic Bag 2.0 are :i. Reducing the amount of plastic bag usage which is harmful to the environment;ii. Raising awareness towards maintaining the environment;iii. Enforcing Penang as a Green State;iv. Reducing state spending for the cost of solid waste disposal involving plastic bagsv. In response to a study suggesting that an increase in the case of flash floods and dengue fever was due to the proliferation and congestion of plastic bags widespread to the Penang waterways and ditches.Basically, the Plastic Bag 2.0 Campaign will apply the principles and concepts that are still in the process of collecting RM0.20 cents for each plastic bag that is supplied to consumers at the counters of designated fixed business premises. Plastic containers refer to any form of bag supplied to consumers where the basic component is made of plastic (synthetic / semi synthetic polymer) and also includes a bio-degradable plastic bag.Packing plastic product / beverage / food is not included as a plastic bag in this campaign.Implementation of Plastic Bag 2.0 is enforced through the introduction of additional conditions for new applications or renewal of business license under the provisions of Section 107 (2) of the Local Government Act 1976. Business premises will be required to be registered with the implementation of Plastic Bag 2.0 comprises of all existing business premises and new business premises operating within the following categories: -(a) Hypermarket;(b) Supermarket;(c) Departmental store;(d) Convenient store;(e) Fast Food Restaurant;(f) Petrol Station Convenient Store;(g) Chain Store;(h) Pharmacy; and(i) Others. | Finance secured | 0 | Local | 1108000 | 2020 | {"type"=>"Point", "coordinates"=>[100.383, 5.38333]} | 2021-07-16T02:19:09.367 | |||||
