EU Covenant of Mayors Sustainable Energy Action Plan 2020 Monitoring report 2018 Lahti SEAP Editor Eira Rosberg City of Lahti, Environmental Development 12th Dec 2018 Lahti SEAP Lahti signed EU Covenant of Mayors declaration 2012 and did the required Sustainable Action Plan in 2013. In this covenant, cities voluntarily commit into energy efficiency and use of renewable energy sources on their territories. The SEAP Actions Report is required every 2nd year and full monitoring every 4 years. Lahti SEAP 2013 was a continuum of an environmental and climate work already done for years in Lahti. Based on the green house gas scenario calculation, the reduction target 2013-2020 was set to -35 % from 1990 level. In the city strategy there was target of halving the emissions by year 2025. This 2018 monitoring includes both emission inventory and actions monitoring. Emission inventory was made from year 2017. In addition, at the database mycovenant.eumayors.eu the energy balance was added, together with investments of the actions, saved energy and reduced GHG emissions. This written monitoring report holds the summary of all information. In many of the actions, like in advising and land- use, it is quite impossible to report exact numbers of energy reductions. Yet these are remarkable actions. Inventory from year 2017 emissions show the target of -35 % is already exceeded and the halving of emissions is close. Wed 12th December 2018 Lahti SEAP Lahti's greenhouse gas emissions have fallen more than 40% from 1990 level. The calculation doesn't include emissions from the individual consumption of residents. In 2017, Lahti's emissions were over 690,000 tonnes CO2 equivalent. Of this transport was 185 thousand tonnes of CO2-e. If calculated per capita, the emissions were 5.77 tonnes CO2-e. Compared to 1990, emissions have fallen by 41.33 %. If the reduction is calculated per capita, it will be already 46.9 %. The largest reduction occurred in district heating combined heat and power plants. This is due to the investments made by Lahti Energia and the transition to lower-emission fuels. A major reduction is also in industrial energy where the industry has changed it's own oil-based energy production for example to district heating. Also significant emission reductions have happened in transport and in wastes. Transport emissions are almost entirely from road transport.

LA has Kariniemi energy efficiency project, in which measuring points of energy use will be raised from one to 100. Then the energy saving potential will be mapped and then the actions carried out. Thirdly, Nastola wastewater treatment plant will in future get solar panels. 8. All new construction production Lahti Premises Ongoing All new construction of City of Lahti is low-energy.
