1. Introduction

This report refers to WP2 “Status quo of the demonstration cases” (Tasks 2.1. to 2.6.) of the SURECITY project. Its objective is to compile the relevant information to set the status quo of the demonstration sites: i) necessary model inputs data including current conditions and future scenarios; ii) identification and analysis of existing and potential air quality, energy and emission control policies and measures that can be decided on city-level. 1.1. Overview of the SURECITY project

SURECITY´s mission is to support smart city level integration of policies and measures towards a low carbon energy system including mobility services, keeping sustainability goals on air quality, sustainable land-use, efficient water use, job creation and improved governance supporting the local authorities, companies and citizens to develop and analyse sustainable energy and transport strategies and markets and also to incentivize the creation of new business models.

To do so, SURECITY will develop a software platform which will bridge scientific models to perform holistic and optimal assessments to design local energy and emission abatement strategies in the medium- and long- term for neighbourhoods and cities and the end users, i.e. municipalities, citizens and companies, allowing to design and assess the social, technological and economic impact of measures in all major economic sectors.

Stakeholders, e.g. enterprises, municipalities and regional government, will be closely involved in the definition of requirements and functionalities of the platform to maximize the development of new services and business models including the design and assessment of policy, market measures and strategies. The SURECITY’s platform will be implemented and validated within three cities: Almada (PT), Malmö (SE) and Judenburg (AT). 1.2. Scope and outline of the report

The scope of this report is to present the energy and sustainability situation in the city of Judenburg. The geographical scope of the site includes 8 city zones. The economic sectors to be covered are the ones referring to activities that take place within the city boundaries and are structured as follows: primary energy supply (i.e. electricity generation, heat production); heat, power and transport fuels distribution; energy consumption in residential and services buildings, in transport, in industry and in agriculture (although the latter in an aggregate format). Besides energy, the following components are considered since they are relevant for addressing the sustainability of the city: waste water, air quality, water consumption, land-use, overview of the socio-economic status of the residents and of the governance system in place.

The report is organized in seven chapters, starting by presenting an overview of the city in terms of sustainability planning. This is followed by a summary of its energy profile (both supply and demand), by a summary of the air quality status and of the available data on stationary and mobile GHG and air pollutants emissions. The next chapter shortly outlines the socio-economic situation of the city as well as of the other non-energy components considered in the project. 1.3. Main data sources

2. City sustainability planning

This section presents an overview and analysis of the existing and expected current policy & governance frameworks for Judenburg. 2.1. General description of the city

Judenburg is a historic town in the federal state of Styria in the Southeast of Austria. It is located in the NUTS 3-region Western Upper-Styria (AT226). In the Provincial as well as in the Regional Developmental Programmes, Judenburg is defined as a regional centre together with Knittelfeld as well as an industrial and commercial location. Judenburg is the administrative centre of the Murtal district, which was created on the 1st of January 2012 from the former districts Judenburg and Knittelfeld. With the 1st of January 2015, Judenburg was merged with its adjoining small municipalities Oberweg and Reifling. Population and area: Before the merger: 9,191 inhabitants (1/1/2014) 13.22 km2 After the merger: 10,072 inhabitants (1/1/2015) 63.76 km²

Geography

Judenburg is located on the western end of the Aichfeld-Murboden basin in the Eastern Alps. The broad valley is bound by the Niedere Tauern range in the north and the Noric Alps (Lavanttal Alps) in the south. The Aichfeld-Murboden basin consists mainly of gravel terraces with pastures and farmland.

Judenburg lies near the foothills of the Seetal Alps (Seetaler Alpen), their highest peak being the Zirbitzkogel with 2,396 m. The elevation of Judenburg is 737 m at the main square and 708 m at the train station. Following the merger with former Oberweg the town area now stretches over a part of the Seetal Alps with the “Scharfes Eck” as its highest point (2,364 m). Figure 2-1 shows the routes of Judenburg (the red lines shows the roads whereas black lines indicates the railroads)

The Mur River runs through Judenburg from west to east, its partially deep cut river-bed bordered by rich riparian vegetation, connecting different greenland spaces. The Mur naturally divides the town into suburbs. The historic town centre and western suburb (Kärntner Vorstadt, Grünhübl – “Judenburg-West”) lie on a

24th January 2017 Confidential until completion SURECITY D2.2 Status-quo for the three cities – Judenburg 9

gravel terrace south of the Mur. The other suburbs Murdorf, Strettweg, Feldgasse, and Murvorstadt are separated from the center by valley cuts and meanders of the Mur and the Purbach brook. The settlement cores of Oberweg and Reifling are situated in valleys stretching from the town centre towards south-west resp. south-east, with adjoining mountainous areas.

Geographical divisions

There are several different divisions of Judenburg’s municipal area: a) Cadastral communities (subdivisions of municipalities, used for property ownership records in the cadastral map, established in the Habsburg Monarchy):

• Judenburg (460.45 ha) • Tiefenbach (390.32 ha) • Waltersdorf (471.32 ha) • Oberweg (784.40 ha) • Ossach (2,645.66 ha) • Reifling (1,621.14 ha) b) “Ortschaft” / place: statistical, postal and administrative subdivision under the municipal level:

• Auerling (133 inhabitants as of 1st Jan. 2015) • Feeberg (186 Inh.)

24th January 2017 Confidential until completion SURECITY D2.2 Status-quo for the three cities – Judenburg 10

• Gasselsdorf (35 Inh.) • Judenburg (8,557 Inh.) • Oberweg (512 Inh.) • Ossach (46 Inh.) • Reifling (61 Inh.) • Ritzersdorf (14 Inh.) • Strettweg (399 Inh.) • Waltersdorf (129 Inh.)

These divisions are not useful because they do not reflect the real geographical structure of the settlements. Therefore for this report a modification of the districts of the Urban developmental and traffic concepts is used.

Municipal zones thus are: (inh. as of 1/9/2016)

• 1. Gasselsdorf, Ritzersdorf, Waltersdorf, Strettweg (790 Inh.) • 2. Industrial area Judenburg-North, Werksgelände (1 Inh.) • 3. Ostwerkgasse, Feldgasse, Murgasse (773 Inh.) • 4. Murdorf (3,027 Inh.) • 5. Inner city (1,520 Inh.) • 6. Judenburg-West (Kärntner Vorstadt, Grünhübl) (2,972 Inh.) • 7. Oberweg (557 Inh.) • 8. Feebergstraße, Weyervorstadt, Reifling (516 Inh.)

These eight spatial zones (see Figure 2-2) will be used in SURECITY as the spatial layer for the description of the energy consuming sectors (described in the next sections of this report) and later on in the modelling in WP3, WP4 and WP5.

2.2. Existing and expected relevant sustainable energy and other policies and measures

The Austrian RES and energy efficiency incentives system is complex. There are state, federal states and city municipality level (e.g. city Judenburg) support mechanisms. Because of complex procedures and different

24th January 2017 Confidential until completion SURECITY D2.2 Status-quo for the three cities – Judenburg 12

levels of incentive systems, in some cases applicants do not make use of them. The implemented energy and air quality policies and measures are summarised in Table 2 (general overview of state level schemes), Table 3 (state level schemes for specific technologies) , Table 4 (schemes from federal state Styria) and

Table 5 ( schemes from municipality of Judenburg) depicting main incentives for different technologies which are relevant for the city Judenburg. This gives an overall summary for the state, federal and city level support programmes.

General Framework for Legal Sources for Renewable Energy Sources (RES) (source: RES LEGAL-as of January 2017).

Table 2: overview of state level RES support schemes (Source: RES-LEGAL) Electricity RES is supported mainly through a feed-in tariff. Furthermore, the construction of PV installations on buildings and small or medium-sized hydro-electric power stations is supported through subsidies. Electricity from renewable sources is granted access to the grid according to the general legislation on energy and according to non-discriminatory principles. The feed-in tariffs for the different technologies are arranged annually through a resolution of the BMWFW (Federal Ministry of Science, Research and Economy) (§ 19 par. 1 ÖSG 2012). The operators of RES electricity are entitled to the conclusion of the contract with a government purchasing agency (APCS, Power Clearing & Settlement Austria), on the purchase and payment as long as funds are available. Heating & HC from RES is supported through different incentive schemes, both on the state level and on the level of the Cooling (HC) individual federal states (“Länder”) and local municipalities (e.g. city Judenburg). The Environmental Aid Act (UFG) provides for the general support of schemes to protect the environment. The UFG is divided into several fields of action; incentives to use energy from RES in the heating and cooling sector are provided in the Environmental Assistance in Austria (UFI) field of action (§ 23 par. 1 UFG in conjunction with § 4 par. 1 Guidelines 2015). Promoting small-scale RES heating and cooling is applied at a state level carried out through the national corporate environmental support programme (UFI – betriebliche Umweltförderung im Inland). There are special investment incentives for solar thermal installations, heat pumps, geothermic and biomass heating plants, especially for businesses. On the other hand, the 9 federal states offer different measures for the enhancement of energy efficiency or the increased use of renewable energy in the area of advisory services or also investment subsidies. Depending on the project, either the subsidy is granted additionally to the UFI or the grants are mutually exclusive. Especially concerning support schemes for private individuals in the scope of housing subsidies or for farmers in the agricultural sector, guidelines and eligibility criteria might vary significantly. One of the most outstanding federal states is Styria, granting high amounts of subsidies for solar thermal installations or biomass heating plants. The federal state government is the authority responsible for subsidies granted on the federal state level. Therefore, the final amount of subsidies depends strongly on where the applicant resides. Different offers of the federal states (for businesses) are listed on the WKO website (in German) (WKO, 2016): Transport The main support scheme for RES used in transport is a quota system. This scheme obliges companies importing or producing petrol or diesel to ensure that biofuels make up a defined percentage of their annual fuel sales. Furthermore, biofuels are supported through a fiscal regulation mechanism.

An insight into the organisation of the Austrian state is essential for a thorough understanding of where competences in the implementation of policies and governance frameworks lie.

The federal republic of Austria knows three legislative and administrational levels: the federal state is the superordinate state (“Bund”) and in charge of key tasks such as federal legislation, external and defence policies as well as ordinary jurisdiction (i.e. courts of general jurisdiction). The Republic is divided into nine federal provinces (“Bundesland”), which have their own constitutions and are also vested with legislative and executive powers in matters not reserved to the federal legislature, for example building and planning regulations, which differ in every province. The municipalities (“Gemeinde”) are the smallest units in the state organisation and as such have no (or very restricted) legislative powers. However, they are entitled to issue general regulations (ordinances) and in practice perform many of the federal state’s administrative tasks. They are independent administrative bodies, i.e. their sphere of competence is defined in and "protected" by the federal constitution. They are not subject to directions from other authorities or institutions in this field, notwithstanding the fact that they are under federal supervision. Districts (“Bezirk”) are groups of municipalities and in charge of the administration of all matters of federal and state administrative law. The administrative office of a district is the district commission (“Bezirkshauptmannschaft”).

The main decision body for all policies under municipal competence is the municipal council, the legislative body. The mayor is the elected head of the municipality and representative of the executive body. All laws are implemented by the administrational units on behalf of the mayor. The administration staff has professional expertise and skills and provide ideas and input for the political organs.

The organization of the Judenburg Municipality is shown in the following chart:

24th January 2017 Confidential until completion SURECITY D2.2 Status-quo for the three cities – Judenburg 21

In terms of energy, the major think-tank is the municipal energy team - e5 team (e5= European Energy Award). This group, consisting of representatives of the municipality, city management, the ESCO Stadtwerke Judenburg and of citizens, meets regularly every two months, develops ideas and takes part in their implementation. The implementation of measures and policies lies with different departments in the town administration such as planning and building department including environmental department, facility management, head office and the Municipal Utilities. Assistance is often given by the Energy Agency Upper Styria. (SEAP, 2012).

In terms of policy and governance framework the main policy areas are summarised in the next table. Table 6: Overview of the policy decision areas in Judenburg relevant for SURECITY

The adoption of measures by the city regarding the urban energy system and its associated environmental and sustainability aspects faces the following main barriers:

• The main barrier to the adoption and implementation of measures is the lack of financing. Judenburg has to follow a strict policy of cutbacks in spending. Even if funds are granted by the federal or provincial state, pre-financing and financing of the co-payment can be difficult. • Furthermore there is no absolute certainty that a funding will be granted therefore realization may depend completely on funding approval. • Another problem lies within the nature of the municipal budget system which allows planning for only one year and makes it complicated to take into consideration financing of perennial projects.

3. City energy profile

This section presents an overview of the energy system for Judenburg regarding energy supply infrastructure, energy consumption profiles and the existing energy and emission abatement technologies. 3.1. City energy balance

The city energy balance for Judenburg is depicted in figure 3-1 for the year of 2016 showing the final energy consumption of Judenburg municipality flows:

24th January 2017 Confidential until completion SURECITY D2.2 Status-quo for the three cities – Judenburg 23

Figure 3-1: Energy balance for 2016 for the city of Judenburg [in TJ] [Source: own calculation and SEAP 2016]

The total consumption was ca. 3 PJ, with 13 % of this consumption oil products (gasoline, diesel and LPG, heat oil) whereas 76% of oil is consumed for mobility (Figure 3-2). The consumption of oil products manly occurs in the transport sector of which 56 % correspond to diesel and 40 % to gasoline. LPG consumption in Judenburg can be neglected.

Figure 3-2: Final Energy Consumption of oil products per sector for 2011 for the city of Judenburg [Source: own calculation and SEAP 2016]

Electricity accounted for 23% of total final energy consumption with 22% consumed in the residential sector, 2.7 % in service sector, and 73% in industry (Figure 3-3). Natural gas is consumed in those same sectors (Figure 3-4) representing 59% of the total final energy consumption. RES, in particular, biofuels and solar thermal as well as biomass district heating represented about 4 % of total final energy consumption and were mostly consumed in residential and service buildings (Figure 3-5)1.

Figure 3-3 indicates the annual electricity consumption in Judenburg (industry sector is excluded). As of 2015, Austrian electricity mix consists 68 % of renewables and 32 % of fossil based thermal power plants (E- Control, 2016). In contrast, In Judenburg, consumed electricity in the household and service sectors comes 100% from renewable sources (based on sales data of the Utility Judenburg). Utility Judenburg do not sell electricity from fossil fuels or nuclear power. The following table gives an overview where the electricity is generated for the year 2015 and 2016 from.

Utility Judenburg do not sell electricity form fossil fuels or nuclear power. Total 2015- 58,0 GWh; 2016- 52,5 GWh

3.2. Primary energy supply and electricity and heat generation

Municipal Utility Judenburg is the main electricity supplier and distribution company of the city. The company supplies with electricity an area as large as Vienna. The company sold 124.5 GWh electricity in 2014 (not only in Judenburg). Distributed electricity was 143 GWh from that 31 GWh was for costumers connected to other networks. The company’s own electricity production accounted for 31 GWh in 2014 (Stadwerke, 2016b). Utility Judenburg generates electricity 100% from the RES (in the year 2015, the electricity mix consisted of 87.37% hydro, 7.55% wind, 3.38% biomass and 1.70% from other RES.

The Municipality of Judenburg is owner of the ESCO Stadtwerke Judenburg AG (Stadwerke, 2016a). The enterprise was founded as electric company in 1904 and reorganized as a joint-stock company in 1994. The municipality owns 100 % of the shares and has a seat in the supervisory board. The company is run by the management board which acts independent but is responsible to the supervisory board.

The Stadtwerke Judenburg has about 200 employees and a yearly turnover of about 35 Mio €. Their scope of services includes:

3.2.1. Electricity generation, non-thermal, within the city

Within the city Judenburg electricity is only generated by hydro power plants and PV-systems.

3.2.1.1. Hydropower

Within the town area the Stadtwerke Judenburg operate three hydro power stations with a total capacity of 2.3 MW and 13.9 GWh/year generation on the river Mur:

• Judenburg Werk (1904) (Zone 5) • Sensenwerk (1909) (Zone 3) • Murdorf (1904) (zone 4)

Figure 3-7: Location of hydro power plants

Figure 3-7 shows the locations of these power plants. They were erected around 1904, therefore a general renovation is planned for the coming period. The plan is to replace the three barrages by a new one with a higher head of reservoir near plant Judenburg Werk. The planned capacity of 6 MW should generate 29 GWh electricity4. The plans are currently subject to environmental impact assessment because of the effects on the natural surroundings and a contaminated site near the bank.

3.2.1.2. Solar photovoltaic

The city of Judenburg has an installed solar PV capacity of:

• 482.74 kW/kWp from 35 small units (on roof-tops all over the town area) • 1,250 kW/kWp from a 7,800 m2 PV-Park Judenburg-West installed in 2013 and 2014.

This represents an estimated yearly electrical production of 1.73 GWh.

The PV-park Judenburg-West (see Figure 3-8) was built in two stages by the Utility Judenburg and financed by customer investment with an annual interest. The PV-park is situated in Zone 6 (see Figure 3-9).

3.2.1.3. Wind power

There is no wind power plant in the area of Judenburg and the Seetal Alps on the whole. The valleys are protected by the mountain slopes and therefore not windy enough. Mountaincrests would be suitable in terms of wind potential but there are other obstacles. On the one hand the erection of wind power plants in Alpine areas is expensive because of high costs for access lanes and power lines. Realized plants in the region have been built near skiing areas with pre-existing infrastructure. On the other hand many areas are under environmental protection.

There were plans for the installation of five turbines with 10 MW at Klosteralm but the project was not permitted by the provincial government in the end.

3.2.2. District heating and thermal electricity generation within the city

3.2.2.1. Solar thermal

As of 2017, the city of Judenburg has an installed solar thermal capacity of 2,397.68 of kW/kWp from 222 units all over the town area. This represents an estimated yearly thermal output of 1.19 GWh. Most units are found on private homes, but there are some major units on business and public buildings (e.g. schools).

3.2.2.2. Natural Gas There is no electricity generation using natural gas in Judenburg. A CHP located in Feldgasse which fired the district heating in zones 3 and 4 was shut down in 2012 when the district heating network was connected to the biomass district heating from Pöls.

24th January 2017 Confidential until completion SURECITY D2.2 Status-quo for the three cities – Judenburg 31

3.2.2.3. District Heating

The heat for the Judenburg district heating is not produced in the town area but imported.

The Zellstoff Pöls AG processes has a long lasting history of pulp and paper from wood. The energy requirement for the manufacturing process can be entirely covered by own production However, the investment in new technologies generates so much surplus energy that since the beginning of 2011 it has been able to supply around 50,000 households with green electricity from renewable energy sources.

In 2011, the pulp mill Heinzel-Pulp Zellstoff Pöls AG completed a large-scale district heating project and now supplies some 15,000 households in the communities of Pöls, Fohnsdorf, Judenburg and Zeltweg via an 18 km-long pipeline network, the heat is fed from Pöls to a biomass-fired heating plant in Zeltweg, which is fitted with an innovative storage solution (large pressure vessel). This represents a major stride towards the goal of achieving annual CO2 savings of 25,000 to 30,000 tones. In 2016-10-25, 14:00, current district heating supply of the company (for all abovementioned communities) amounted to 13 MW/h (Zellstoff-Poels, 2016) whereas on 2016-12-19 at 14:00 the power production was 26 MW/h. The total capacity of the district heating is 30 MW. 18 million € (SJ, 2013) have been invested for this project and it was completed within 6 months.

As it can be observed in Figure 3-11, the heat provided by the district heating network is originated mainly from:

- the waste heat of a pulp and paper mill (Zellstoff Pöls). This is the largest manufacturer of pulp in Austria. Approximately 2 million solid meters of thinning and sawing wood are produced around 400,000 tonnes of high-quality long-fiber pulp. - 20 MW biomass combined heat and power plant to supplement the load peaks in winter season. - Use of existing gas boilers as back up for failure reserve and demand peaks (Bioenergie Aichfeld, 2016). However gas has not been used as there was no need for it.

Figure 3-11 Sketch of the sources for the district heating system

24th January 2017 Confidential until completion SURECITY D2.2 Status-quo for the three cities – Judenburg 32

The energy consumption for the production of pulp is 100% biomass and independent of fossil fuel, therefore the DH can be considered 100% powered by biomass. The total share of renewables in the district heat that is delivered to Judenburg by the grid could not be established, but besides the gas peakers the system is 100 % renewable (Zellstoff-Poels, 2016).

The DH construction was supported by the entire regional government. Due to compliance with the efficiency criteria, this innovation project was also supported by Land Steiermark and the federal government,

Technical innovation

The DH network utilizes the first large-area district heating pressure accumulator in southern Austria for the equalization of load peaks. For load balancing in Zeltweg a large-area district heat accumulator with a million liters of water content was installed. With this approach, a smaller and more efficient district heating and pipelines are installed.

Thanks to this DH, two gas engine power plants were shut down and about [2-2.5] million m3 of gas could be substituted, and 60,000 solid meters of wood can be used for further processing.

Figure 3-12 Sketch of the Aichfeld district heating system 3.2.3. Biofuel production within the city

There is no biofuel production in Judenburg. Although there were small-scale attempts by single farmers to cultivate energy plants, but with no significant production.

The petrol stations are located at: Zone 6 1: Rumpold 2: A1 3: BP Zone 3 4 (currently closed).

3.2.4.1. Electricity distribution network

In Judenburg, the main electricity distributors are the Stadtwerke / Municipal Utility Judenburg and the Styrian energy supplier EStAG (Energieagentur Obersteiermark, 2011). As local utilities these companies are also dominating the electricity market .

The industry zone with three main steel producers has direct electrical transmission lines from a national substation that connect this industry site to the 110 kV highvoltage level.

Municipal Utility Judenburg is the main electricity supplier and distribution company of the city. The company sold 124.5 GWh electricity in 2014. Distributed electricity was 143 GWh, from which 31 GWh was for costumers outside of Judenburg. The company’s own electricity production accounts 31 GWh in 2014 (Stadtwerke, 2016b).

3.2.4.2. District heating network

In Judenburg the heat from the Aichfeld-biomass district heating is distributed via two networks. The Stadtwerke-network covers zones 5 and 6 (inner city and west), whereas the KELAG-network supplies zones 3 and 4. The latter network was originally fuelled by a gas-fired CHP in Feldgasse; currently, as explained in this document, it was connected to the biomass-source.

Expansion plans:

All municipal public and almost all residential buildings are connected to the district heating with the exception of one primary school and the public library-building, both built before 1919, under monumental protection and heated with electricity. Both buildings should be switched to district heating, in case a financial solution for the conversion of the electric heating system to central heating is found. It is also planned to connect the PUCH-museum to the grid.

Utility Judenburg is planning to expand the network in Kaserngasse (zone 5) and Teuffenbachstraße (zone 6) and realizes some island projects in the inner city (zone 5). One major plan involves the connection of the Provincial Hospital (LKH Judenburg) which is at the moment heated with gas. The heat demand of the hospital is 3 GWh.

Natural gas consumption in the building sector (residential and service buildings) has been decreasing due to district heating replacement. There is no new plans on extending gas networks.

According to the data of 2015, natural gas was supplied to 1,259 households in Judenburg for a total of 46.8 GWh/a. The distributions of this consumption is shown in Table 9.

It is not an objective of the project to define common residential buildings typologies that can be used across the different cities. Instead in this report the existing residential building typologies for which the data is

24th January 2017 Confidential until completion SURECITY D2.2 Status-quo for the three cities – Judenburg 40

available in each city are presented. For each zone of the city the residential dwellings are grouped in building typologies and taking into account the following characteristics:

• Period of construction; • Apartment, detached house or semi-detached house; • Roof type;

The information refers to occupied dwellings and not residential buildings because it is necessary to estimate energy consumption which is determined by the number of persons occupying the dwellings in the residential buildings.

In the following

Table 10 , the total number of occupied dwellings is shown.

The details of each of these typologies in terms of average floor area and other construction features (number of floors, number of rooms, wall material, existing insulation, existing double glazing, etc.) are presented in Tabula Web Tool for Austria (Tabula, 2016).

The total number of occupied dwellings was 6,369 in 2016. The typological distribution shows that the majority of the occupied dwellings in the town were constructed in the 1946-1990 period (TP 2, 5, 8, 9) which account for 63% of the stock. Of this group, the typology 8, apartments built between 1946 and 1990 with pitched roof, are by far the most common type of housing found in the town representing 32% of the stock alone. The older (pre 1945) and more modern (post 1991) properties each represent just 24% resp. 13% of the stock.

6 % of the dwellings have an energy performance certificate that is listed in the ZEUS-database of the State of Styria. Only dwellings for which a funding has been granted are listed there, not the certificates issued at the time of sale or rent. The classifications are distributed as in the following table:

In terms of energy consumption and energy technologies per building typology, the following information is available for the year 2016 for space heating and water heating. The disaggregation of energy uses follows closely the future structure of the TIMES model for each city.

• The “table RSD2: final energy consumption per fuel (GJ)” comes directly from the SEAP. • The “table RSD3: Breakout of energy use by end-use” is based on useful energy analysis data from Statistics Austria for the region Styria where Judenburg belongs to (NEA, 2015).

From the city own building database “Gebäudedatenbank (updated 2016)”, where a list of buildings and their energy supply systems for heating and DHW are detailed, it was extracted the “Table RSD5”. Existing energy technologies per typology and end-use (stock in number of equipments per dwelling)”. These data could only be provided for “space heating” and “domestic hot water”.

In this “Gebäudedatenbank updated in 2016”, the information extracted shows that:

- 2,441 buildings were listed. - 81% of the buildings have central heating systems  1,977 buildings. - 19% of the buildings have decentral heating systems  464 buildings. - 522 buildings use district heating for space heating and 470 for domestic hot water.

The rest of the equipment list is at the building level, so we can assume those buildings that have decentralised heating have the same equipment for all the dwellings in the buildings. From the previous information, we know that in Judenburg there are:

- 2,034 buildings. - 6,369 dwellings.

This is, an average of 3 dwellings per building. So the equipments in those buildings with decentralised heating system have to be multiplied by 3.

24th January 2017 Confidential until completion SURECITY D2.2 Status-quo for the three cities – Judenburg 42

From this information, in order to calculate an estimation of the total number of equipments we can assume that the equipments listed in the “Gebäudedatenbank 20161221” have to be multiplied by:

(Number of equipments of type i) TN_equipments of type i = ∗ (TBcentral_nonDH + TBdecentral ∗ 3) (TNequipments − TN_DH equipments)

Being:

TN = total number

TB = total buildings

TN_DH = total number of district heating equipments

TBdecentral this is, the total number of buildings with decentral systems, is multiplied by 3 to calculate the total number of equipments in the buildings with decentralised heating system.

With table RSD5 and the SEAP, it was possible to calibrate the “Table RSD4. Breakout of energy use by end- use by typology”:

There is only a capacity of about 350 guest beds in Judenburg. The biggest accommodation providers are the Youth and Family Hostel (JUFA) with 77 beds, Hotel Murblick with 65 and Stadthotel Schwerterbräu with 31 beds. The rest in town is spread across small-scale providers. Large providers in the Seetal Alps are also the Austrian Army with 43 guest beds in their training base and the Winterleiten-cabin with 35 beds.

The too small number of guest beds is a problem for the development of Judenburg’s touristic potential.

There is no big shopping centre in Judenburg but right before the town’s gates in Fohnsdorf. The establishment of the “Arena im Waldfeld” 25 years ago caused big damage to Judenburg’s economy because many shops either relocated from the town to the Arena or came into serious troubles and had to close. This phenomenon can also be found in many other inner cities around Austria and Germany.

3.3.3.6. Health and care

Judenburg is location of the provincial hospital which is part of the conjoint Landeskrankenhaus Judenburg- Knittelfeld. The hospitals are owned and managed by the KAGES, the Styrian Hospitals Limited Liability Company (Steiermärkische Krankenanstaltengesellschaft m.b.H.) that is wholly owned by the Federal State of Styria (Kages, 2016). Together both locations employ 800 people and have 14,000 inpatients staying for 70,000 days, 4,500 operations and 75,000 outpatient visits per year.

Judenburg is location of the following departments: general surgery; anaesthesia and intensive care medicine; gynaecology and obstetrics; medical radiology and diagnostics; trauma surgery. The hospital Judenburg was expanded and modernized between 2006 and 2010. There have been negotiations about a switch from gas to district heating but so far the KAGES has declined. The heat demand of the hospital is 3 GWh.

In addition there are care centres and medical centres most of which are connected to the district heating.

3.4. Industry activities

Judenburg was one of the centres of Austria’s steel industry in the beginning of the 20th century. Today only minor aspects of industry are left, but Judenburg has remained an industry and trade centre. The main steal industry company is Stahl Judenburg. Its turnover in 2013 was 101,3 Mio. € (SJ, 2016). The company is operating a hot rolling mill for the production of bar, round and section steel (IS, 2016). The steel industry is mainly using erdgas for the process heat or electricity for the induction furnace (Bärnthaler, 2011)

Judenburg is also location for international companies such as Hendrickson, Collini and Assmont.

The following table summarizes the industrial activities in Judenburg and shows in which city zones they are located. 895 of sale was export.

3.5. Urban areas 3.5.1. Public lighting

The municipality of Judenburg is responsible for the public lighting, including the lighting levels and schedules, the type and number of luminaires and lamps used. The actual maintenance if the lighting system lies with the Stadtwerke.

The system has a total of 1,438 light points with a central control system that switches all lamps on and off with twilight. The predominant type of lamp in the municipality is the high pressure sodium (40%), followed by fluorescent (29%) and mercury (17%) (Table 15). In more recent years there has been a continuous replacement of the oldest lamps with LEDs, when a street is restored. The share of LEDs is 11 %.

Table 18 - Number of lamps and power in the municipality

Type/electricity consumption Number Share (%) Power (kW) Share (%) Consumption

High pressure Sodium 251 40% Mercury 579 17% Metal Halide 28 2% LED 161 11% Fluorescent 419 29% Total 1438 558,585 kWh

The electricity consumption for public lighting (including traffic lights) was about 560 MWh in 2016, corresponding to 0.29 % of total electricity consumption in the city. The electricity consumption for public lighting varies through the year as a function of the daylight hours across seasons.

24th January 2017 Confidential until completion SURECITY D2.2 Status-quo for the three cities – Judenburg 52

3.5.2. Gardens/green areas and public fountains

There are four small public parks in Judenburg, two of which are located in zone 5, one in zone 6, one in zone 3, with no electric irrigation and only a handful of lighting points for which there are no separate records. In addition, there are 16 public playgrounds around the town area. There is one fountain in the Judenburg municipality, on the main square in zone 5.

The green areas, namely parks and playgrounds, cover an area of approximately 3.6 ha (Table 19). They represent a small share of the total municipality annual electricity consumption that can be neglected.

3.6. Transport

The calibration for private vehicles of the “table T1. Energy consumption data aggregated by sector fuel (GJ)” was made based on:

- SEAP for the total consumption of private and commercial transport. - The statistics of the percentages of fuel use for Styria (NEA, 2015), in order to divide the total consumption among the different sector fuels. - The data for the busses was taken from SEAP (municipal fleet).

The calibration of “table T3. Stock of Vehicles (thousand) for road transport” was taken from the “stock of motor vehicles 2011” (STATISTICS AUSTRIA, 2012), where there is specific info for Judenburg.

Detail information regarding transport in Judenburg is described in the next section. 3.6.1. Transport network infrastructure The municipal roads cover 42km. The most important are B77, L534, S36. The transport network infrastructure is shown in the next figures.

3.6.2. Public transport

3.6.2.1. Train The township of Judenburg is located on the southern runway and is also stop for intercity trains. The southern railway connects Judenburg with Carinthia in the south and with Zeltweg or Graz in the east. The existing regional train from Neumarkt to Mürzzuschlag runs as S8 (rapid train) from December 2016 on.

Judenburg is a small town and has only one train station. Most trains are on the transit through Judenburg. According to the Covenant of Mayors guidelines for Sustainable Energy Action Plans, passing through traffic (trains or cars or other) does not need to be accounted.

3.6.2.2. Bus Together with Fohnsdorf, Zeltweg, Spielberg and Knittelfeld Judenburg finances the linked transport system “Verkehrsverbund Aichfeld“ (Verbund, 2016). Judenburg is connected to lines: - 1 (Judenburg - Knittelfeld); - 2 (Fohnsdorf - Judenburg) - 3 (Fohnsdorf - Knittelfeld) of the regional bus Aichfeld. Within the towns these connections offer alternately a 15 minute clock interval.

In addition, also the following operate: - The Knittelfeld line 863, overlapping Judenburg to Wolfsberg; - 850 (Judenburg - Neumarkt); - 862 (Judenburg - Kleinfeistritz); - 871 from Judenburg direction Trieben; - 872 to Pöls; - 873 to Oberweg.

The municipality finances line 78, a Citybus circulating between inner city and Strettweg resp. Reifling (zones 1; 3; 5/8). The bus is operated by the ÖBB Postbus GmbH.

Figure 3-24 :public transportation network map- Aichfeld (Verbund, 2016)

Due to the very good regional connections and the relative high frequency of the busses, it can be stated that the public transport network in the town of Judenburg operates with high quality. This fact is quite important for pupils and professional commuters, and at the same time a potential attraction for trade, services, etc.

Because of high costs for the Citybus, a validation of the existing lines and a possible adaption of the local public transport system is planned to achieve an optimal and cost-efficient operation of all existing and future residential areas as well as further traffic calming measures, particularly in the residential areas and in the Centre to increase the attractiveness of the inner city as a shopping centre in the region.

The municipal of Judenburg does not own any bus.

3.6.2.3. Aviation

The airports of Vienna, Graz and Klagenfurt are the closest ones. There is a military airport at Zeltweg which is open for limited private use during events at the Red Bull Ring.

3.6.2.4. New infrastructures

Regarding expectation of new infrastructures, the most important concrete measure is the development of a suburban train system for regional public transport.

In addition to safeguarding and extending the offer in the whole province of Steiermark, where Judenburg is located, the following additional offers are to be created (LUIS, 2015):

24th January 2017 Confidential until completion SURECITY D2.2 Status-quo for the three cities – Judenburg 59

• Extension of the S-Bahn in the Mur-Mürz-Furche, for which the plans are in process. Already realized as S8 but without more runs between Neumarkt and St. Michael • For the development of the surrounding valleys, a study was commissioned to compare the different variants (for example bus connection, reactivation of the railway). • Many Park & Ride facilities have already been set up at public transport nodes, facilitating a switch to public transport. • Subsidies are used for the acquisition of e-taxis and for the purchase of small vans with the latest exhaust gas class EURO VI. A total of € 400,000 was made available for this purpose. • Small-truck promotion to support the planned extension of the truck driving restrictions for old vehicles to all weight classes (and not only for heavy vehicles over 7.5 t total weight) from the year 2018 onwards.

3.6.2.5. Supraregional roads The municipality of Judenburg is connected via the S 36 express way (Bruck an der Mur –Judenburg) to the main road network, with continuous motorway connections to the region capital, Graz, and to the capital of the country, Vienna. The S36 also connects to the main cities of the regions such as Klagenfurt with the roads B317 or B 77.

Expansion of S36 (ASFINAG, 2016) The S6 Semmering-Schnellstraße, S36 Murtal-Schnellstraße, B317 Friesacher Straße (Judenburg – St. Veit an der Glan) and S37 Klagenfurter Schnellstraße present an important north-south axis and a shorter alternative connection between Vienna and Klagenfurt than the A2 southern motorway. There is a gap between Judenburg and Friesach for the closure of which there are plans to expand the S36 on the Styrian and the S37 on the Carinthian side.

Whereas the expansion of the S37 has been laid on ice for financial and environmental reasons the high way financing stock corporation ASFINAG is planning to expand the B317 between Judenburg and Scheifling as a continuation of the S36. The section between St. Georgen ob Judenburg and Scheifling has been in construction since 2013 and is supposed to be finished by 2019.

Proponents of these plans are politicians, the economic sector, commuters and residents along the B317 who wish for a traffic diversion through tunnels. However, there is also opposition to these plans from environmentalists who expect destruction of nature and an increase in traffic volume and related negative side-effects (emissions, noise…) in the very small Mur valley.

In November 2016 the ASFINAG presented new plans for the connection between Judenburg and St. Georgen where it meets the already built section to Unzmarkt. Because it is not possible to drill a tunnel through the Falkenberg mountain the section had to be replanned. The 12 km long route is planned as an expansion of the existing route with three tunnels along Rothenthurm, St. Peter and Wöll. Investment costs are around 360 million euros.

Time plan of the realization

The ASFINAG plans will be submitted to the Federal Ministry of Transport in early 2017. In the case of approval, the EIA procedure is started. An EIA decision is to be expected from 2022 onwards. In the ideal case, the construction will start in 2023. Two stages are planned: the first to St. Peter by the year 2027, the second to St. Georgen with a commissioning by 2031. 3.6.3. Mobility patterns and vehicle fleet Judenburg receives more people daily than those working outside the city. For the year 2010, there were 3,722 commuters going into the city and 2,162 commuters exiting Judenburg to a different city. Therefore, the balance is relatively high with 1,560. This means that, of the total 6,181 employees at the place of work, 60.2% need to travel to Judenburg every working day. This results in a positive pendulum total of approx. 39.8% per year 2010. According to (SS, 2014), the level of commuters from Judenburg to other districts is 52.1% whereas the commuters’ rate from other districts to Judenburg is about 69%.

In addition, 220 people are non-commuters and 1,534 are internal commuters within the municipality. The people entering the city come mainly from the municipalities of Fohnsdorf (370) and Zeltweg (287).

278 people from Judenburg travel to the Knittelfeld area and 138 to the district of Leoben. In 1991, the balance of commuters was still at 2,041. In the next figure, the trend between 1991 and 2010 can be observed.

4. Air quality and emission inventories

This section summarises the existing climate and meteorological data to be input into the SURECITY environmental models. It also analyses existing emission inventories to calibrate the models including a characterization of fixed emission sources. 4.1. Climate, meteorological and air quality data

The position of the Knittelfeld-Judenburger-basin region within Steiermark, surrounded with valleys in the southeast, provides an important number of days with temperature inversion (70-80% of the days with inversion). However, the elevation of Judenburg together with the positive impact of the Murtal wind systems provides natural ventilation to the area and low inversion weather conditions.

This results in a relatively good air quality and reduces the risk of cold air and fog – Judenburg experiences 20 days / year of mist, while the surrounding area has 100 to 120 days / year.

The climate is typical of intra-continental basins, characterized by cool and dry winters. In late autumn and winter, there is an average sunshine of 26%. The average annual precipitation is 900 mm, a relatively low figure for the area. The average temperatures are:

- January: -5.8°C. - July: 16.2°C. - Year: 6.3°C.

All Austrian network operators are obliged to keep the results of the emission measurements, based on the Immission Control Act [BGBL 1997] within a calendar year, in summary form.

Operation of the pollution-controlled traffic control system

In 2014, there was a change to the new switching algorithm [LGBL 2014]. In addition to the PM10 preload, this one also takes into account the emission contribution of NOx caused by passenger car traffic.

4.3. Characterization of stationary emission sources

Operating plant emission control system Styria (LUIS, 2015)

The plant emission control system (BEANKA- Betriebsanlagen Emissionskataster)) is the most complete recording of pollutant emissions in Styria. Since the fine dust problem in Styria also requires the detection of diffuse dust emissions, (e.g. from the manipulation of dusty goods), the BEANKA collection sheets were converted to an electronic format (Excel) in 2007. In order to better identify the sources of emissions in relation to their situation, a separate GIS-compatible software was developed in 2012 in the Department of Air Pollution Control. This now allows user-friendly input and acquisition of emission sources with a graphical user interface.

The recording was done in 2015, with a database that comprises 523 commercial and industrial locations. More than 1,200 fireplaces have already been located with the exact discharge conditions. In sum, these operating plants are responsible for air pollution emissions of 6,779 t NOx / a and 873 t PM10 / a. By comparison, total emissions of NOx in Styria amounted to approx. 21,366 t / a or PM10 emissions to approx. 5,954 t / a.

Immission Control Styria

The year 2015 was dominated by the updating and expansion of the existing emission catalogue. It was compiled for 2006 for NO2 (ÖTTL, 2014) and has now been updated to 2010.

In addition to NO2, the air pollutants PM10, PM2.5 and benzo (a) pyrene (BaP) were also modelled for Styria.

Due to further developments in the GRAL propagation model, precise orographic data with a resolution of 10 m could be considered for the first time. Good linear correlation between measured and modelled mean values for NO2 and PM10 were observed.

Regarding benzopyrene, there is no emission data available. Thus, the emissions from the calculated emission pollution loads on PM10 were estimated by the company fire. The main cause for the PM10 loads caused by house fires are generally wood heating systems. In order to estimate the share of B (a) P in PM10 in the wood smoke, the emission factors in accordance with [EMEP / EEA 2009] were used to estimate the air pollution. 4.4. Emission control and abatement

Since January 2010, the data management system "emikat.at" by the Austrian Institute for Technology (AIT) has been used in Styria for the calculation and administration of the extensive collection of data for the emission control system. Styria thus provides high-resolution (500 x 500 m) emission data for the different causer groups. The emission catalyser provides important information on the origin (location), time and quantity of emission classes of the individual classes of pollutants, which, in conjunction with propagation calculations, provide a basis for official procedures. In addition, the Emission Control Council is an important planning element for the development and evaluation of measures.

In 2015, the calculation methods and results of the Styrian Emission Control Agency were first documented and published as a report (LUIS, 2014). For the various causer groups or subgroups, a wide variety of emission models were either developed, adapted or taken from the literature. Emissions for the sectors of road transport, energy & industry as well as some areas of rail transport are calculated in the self-developed BEANKA system (operating facility cadastre). After completion of some necessary adaptations of the Emikat- Steiermark.at by the company AIT, the results of the external calculations could be implemented in the EMIKAT so that now again overall evaluations and the representation of all emission loads on different spatial

24th January 2017 Confidential until completion SURECITY D2.2 Status-quo for the three cities – Judenburg 68

levels are possible. In most cases, the corresponding CORINE land-use categories (CLC) were used for the allocation of the total emissions per administrative unit (mostly counting sprigs or community level) or on the grid. On the other hand, the calculations for road traffic as well as for the commercial and industrial trafficked companies are located on a point-by-point basis.

Up-to-date detailed data on heating systems in private households and commercial companies will in future be fed into the Styrian heating system database by the chimney sweepers via the web interface.

In order to be able to make statements about areas which are not covered by the continuous measurement network, the application of propagation models is becoming increasingly important as an additional source of information. Currently, three stationary stations are operated in Styrian emission measurement networks, as well as three mobile stations. In these 41 automatic emission measuring stations, meteorological parameters are recorded in addition to the air pollutants. In addition, a meteorological measuring network, currently consisting of 8 stations, is being operated in the Graz area to support forecasts for inversion weather conditions in the Graz Basin. Two mobile meteorological measuring stations are also available for measurements in special projects. A key task area is the publication of the measured pollutant concentrations. In addition to the presentation of the measurement data within the framework of monthly reports, reports on mobile and integral measurements are regularly published.

These reports are available on the Internet platform of the Regional Environment Information Centre of Styria (LUIS) at the address http://umwelt.steiermark.at/.

Additional information

On 22 September 2014, an EUPILOT (No. 6683/14 / ENVI) was sent to the Republic of Austria by the European Commission due to an infringement of Article 13 (1) for the region of Styria. Since the obligatory compliance with the emission limit values specified were not fulfilled, the European Commission referred to the obligation to draw up air quality plans which must contain "appropriate" measures to keep the period of non-compliance "as short as possible".

The extensive response of the Republic of Austria (13.1.2015) described the measures implemented so far by the federal states and the Confederation and pointed out in particular that the emissions from diesel engines were many times higher than the nominal limit values laid down, which is the responsibility of the Commission. It was also stated that the levels had a falling trend. However, a formal infringement procedure has nevertheless been started (infringement no. 2016/2006, 26.2.2016). 5. Socio-economic situation and non-energy components 5.1. Socio-economic context

History and economy

Recent excavations have found a large settlement of the Hallstatt culture from 800-500 BC practicing iron manufacturing. In the Middle Ages Judenburg used to be an international trading centre, then again a centre of steel manufacturing in pre-industrial times. With the advent of industrialisation near the end of the 19th century Judenburg became an important site of the Austrian steel industry. After the breakdown of the heavy industry in the early 1980s, the town is now home again to successful specialized industrial companies.

24th January 2017 Confidential until completion SURECITY D2.2 Status-quo for the three cities – Judenburg 69

Judenburg is administration and educational centre for the region with schools, offices and court. Most jobs are found in the service sector (also including hospital), whereas trade has lost most of its importance due to a competing shopping centre outside town.

Agriculture used to play a minor role in Judenburg before the merger with only a handful of remaining farmers. The new districts Oberweg and Reidfling are more agriculturally structured with some mountain farmers. Dairy farming and forestry are most important, as the whole region relies heavily on forestry.

Thanks to the town’s location on the cycle path along the River Mur, its old town centre and some attractions tourism is becoming increasingly important, especially among bike tourists and “50plussers”.

Due to the structural changes of the last decades, Judenburg is suffering from a decrease in population and, in particular, a migration of well-educated young adults.

Education Level

The level of education has increased in Austria over the last decades, especially a clear increase can be seen in case of the population with higher education. Although in Judenburg the share of population with higher education still under the average of Styria and Austria as a whole an increase over the years can be seen in this city as well. In 2013, population with a high education (university and similar) equals 8.4% of people between the ages 25-64 (in Styria 14.3%, in Austria 15.7%). 10.8% of these groups have a high school graduation (AMS, 2015a).

Income Level

Gross income in 2014 in the district Murtal, where also Judenburg is part of, is about 29,621 Euro (net 20,584 Euro). The income of women is lower than men. While men`s annual average income is 37,059 (net 25,048), this is about 20,655 Euro (net 15,203 Euro) for the women (SS, 2015).

Unemployment

Based on the statistics from the Labaour Market (AMS, 2015b) in 2015, population and employment in Judenburg declined. The unemployment rate was 8.7 % in 2015 which is one of the highest in the federal state Styria (average Styria 8.3%, average Austria is 9.1%). The unemployment rate among men (9.1%) is significantly higher than women (8.2%).

Expectations on future economic development per sector (industry, services):

The employment rate in Judenburg is 46.8% in 2011. The level of commuters from Judenburg to other districts is 52.1% whereas commuters’ rate from other districts to Judenburg is about 69% (SS, 2014).

Athough industry is the main sector in the economic structure of Judenburg, in recent years the city has experienced considerable changes in the service sector. In the 1990s, the share of jobs in agriculture and forestry has decreased from 7% to 6% and in the industrial and trade from 47% to 39% whereas the share of jobs increase from 46% to 55% (Bärnthaler, 2011).

5.1.1. Water use

Water supply

The Stadtwerke Judenburg AG is responsible for the drinking water supply of Judenburg. The drinking water comes from five pumpstations. Table 25 shows the electricity consumption for these pumpstationsa and the volume of supplied water in 2015. The coverage of the water requirement and quality of the drinking water are currently not a problem. Supplied volume of drinking water was 670,312 m³in 2015, whereas this was in 2016 706.346 m³. Average specific energy consumption for water pumping is about 7.42 Wh/m³m.

Wastewater treatment is carried out via the sewage treatment plant on the Mühlweg. The sewer network consists of urban area largely covering all areas.

6. Data gaps and measures to overcome them

The main data gaps identified are: 1. Plans for renewable energies extension are partly known. 2. There is not information about renewable energy potential. 3. Energy consumption in the industry sector.

24th January 2017 Confidential until completion SURECITY D2.2 Status-quo for the three cities – Judenburg 71

The SEAP 2016 (from excel file) database does not include any data on energy consumption of the industry sector. Calibration was done based on statistics for useful energy in Styria, where shares from steel and iron industry can be found. 4. Residential sector: · Only 6% of the buildings have an energy certificate that is available. · Breakout of energy use by end-use was based on the statistics for Styria, because there is not specific information for Judenburg. · No information available for cooling. However this can be neglected as it is not relevant for the households in Judenburg. 5. Energy consumption in the service sector – information is only available for the service building of municipality. But there is a lack of information on commerce service sector. 6. There is partyl specific information about transport sector in Judenburg. Some needed data is estimated based on Austrian average values. 7. For some cases data calibration could be done (e.g. energy consumption by energy carriers in industry and transport sectors) based on the statistcis for the federal state “Styria”. These are mainly explained in the data table as well as in this report.

7. Towards low carbon city integrated planning 7.1. Setting the targets towards low-carbon integrated planning

This section presents the set of potential policies and measures that were identified as relevant for further assessment by the SURECITY platform bearing in mind the city’s ambitions in terms of concrete sustainability and low carbon energy and transport targets. 7.2. Scenario definition and evaluation metrics

In this section is presented how the ambitions in terms of concrete sustainability and low carbon energy and transport targets will be set for the demonstration cases including exploring new business concepts, scenario development and energy and transport companies’ market strategies. The concrete scenarios to be used and corresponding evaluation metrics are outlined.

According to the SEAP Report (Judenburg SEAP, 2012), Judenburg’s CO2 reduction goal is minus 28 % by 2020 compared to 1990, thereby even outreaching the EU’s climate protection goals. Since Judenburg had started energy accounting for the public buildings and made its first energy concept back in 1990, it was possible to take the Kyoto base year as baseline for the SEAP as well.

The SEAP aims at reducing the total energy consumption in the town area and increasing the production of renewable energies. Centre piece of the action plan are measures to lower the energy consumption of the municipal buildings by 24 % and the CO2 emissions by 60 % compared to 1990 by the year 2020. 100 % of the energy used for heating is supposed to come from renewable sources. The dependency on energy imports for energy and heat production shall be tackled with the increased use of traditional local energy sources like water and biomass (wood).

24th January 2017 Confidential until completion SURECITY D2.2 Status-quo for the three cities – Judenburg 72

Core actions to reach these goals are:

• Expansion of the district heating network in the whole town area, powered with waste heat from the pulp mill Heinzel Pulp at nearby Pöls • expansion of renewable energies (solar energy, wind power, hydropower) • procurement of green energy for public buildings as good practice • Rational use of energy (RUE) measures in public buildings and facilities (including residential buildings) • grants by the Municipality for RES/RUE measures in private and tertiary buildings (thermal • insulation, biomass heating, solar thermal systems, photovoltaic installations, and heat pumps) • expansion and promotion of non-motorized private transport (walking, cycling) and public transport in the Municipality of Judenburg and the region • sustainable public procurement of products and services • public awareness raising campaigns and information about climate protection and renewable energy
