General Info
Frankfurt am Main is one of the founders of Climate Alliance, a group of municipalities in Europe formed to protect the climate. In 1991, Frankfurt am Main set a global objective of cutting CO2 by 50% by 2010. To organize the process of CO2 reduction and to develop an energy concept for Frankfurt, the Energiereferat was founded as a local energy agency in 1989.
To achieve the ambitious goal on CO2-reduction, activities concentrated on the following areas:
- designing low-energy homes with a heat consumption 30 % below the actual national regulations - Frankfurt is european leader city of passive houses
- saving electricity in housing, offices and industry
- promoting solar thermal- and photovoltaic energy and
- systematically helping to implement small or medium size decentralized co-generation units
Activities are aimed at citizens, investors, architects and building-operators.
