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 20 % below the actual national regulations at present 50 to 75 kWh/m a - and define strict heat consumption standards for the urban area
• 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.
