703City of Warsaw31185PolandWarsawC402013Energy Supply > Combined heat and powerEnergy Supply Combined heat and powerCogeneration is especially well-developed in the Warsaw area. Taking into account that cogeneration saves 30-37% of coal, this method gives our metropoly 3,5 TWh of energy annually. If not for this, separate production of heat and electricity would lead to additional emission in Poland of 1.5 mln t CO2 a year. The heat from cogeneration is used in Warsaw central heating system, one of the largest in Europe – 1700 km of main pipes, 75% of city demand satisfied. Cogeneration becomes even more beneficial when it is based on renewable energy sources. Therefore, share of biomass combusted in Warsaw CHPs is to increase(52.2296756, 21.0122287)(51.919438, 19.145136)
704City of Warsaw31185PolandWarsawC402013Transport > Improve the accessibility to public transit systemsTransport Improve the accessibility to public transit systems-Warsaw actively promotes public transport due to its lower GHG emissions per passenger and lesser contribution to traffic jams. -Current activities: - Development of existing networks of: • 407 km tram lines with 400 trams, • 3250 km bus lines with 1500 (52.2296756, 21.0122287)(51.919438, 19.145136)
705City of Warsaw31185PolandWarsawC402013Transport > Improve fuel economy and reduce CO2 from motorized vehiclesTransport Improve fuel economy and reduce CO2 from motorized vehiclesIn Warsaw we have created an “E-Mobil Cluster”, which is aimed at environmentally-friendly transport, including electric and hybrid vehicles. It is an example of joint initiative of scientific institutions, local government, associations and companies operating in Warsaw area, which are willing to create platform initiating development of innovative technologies, giving room for demonstration programmes and tools for their implementation. The “E-Mobil” Cluster currently has 18 members, combining potential of 3 sectors: science and research, private business and public administration. The coordinator is the Warsaw University of Technology, while Warsaw remains the only municipality belonging to the Cluster. By joining different potentials of the City of Warsaw, academic institutions, car companies and energy companies, what allows for synergy effect, we hope to maximize the end results of our actions. In the long run, in accordance with worldwide trends, we plan to support envisaged wide implementation of hybrid, and in the next phase purely electric vehicles – in the meantime the measure which is more realistic from financial standpoint to be quickly adopted on wider scale are buses powered by gas: CNG (compressed natural gas)/LNG (liquid natural gas), with possible utilization of biomethane.(52.2296756, 21.0122287)(51.919438, 19.145136)
