Standard & Technical Details: 2.5km of piping, 8.2 MW heat and 1.6 MW of electricity biomass plant.
The solution is changing steam pipes to district heating based on water as energy transmitter. The power is supplied via a biomass power plant owned by the municipality. Pipes can be used with any other water based heat production system. The biomass power plant is fueled by the waste of public green spaces.
Use Case
Virtual energy advisor by Barcelona municipality
[...]
Providing information on real-time energy usage and waste levels to tenants is a key tool to help them see and reduce their own environmental footprint. The Virtual Energy Advisor is being developed within the Barcelona Municipality project ‘Take charge of your energy’ with the aim to reduce household electricity consumption by minimum 10% by encouraging behavioural changes amongst tenants.

Use Case
Renewable refuelling stations for heavy duty vehicles
[...] The City of Stockholm is trying to find suitable locations for renewable feulling stations. Some of the stations will be completely new stations and some will be adding alternative fuels to existing diesel stations. The land is leased to filling station operators at a standard price, on the condition that at least two of the following alternative fuels are supplied at each station.
Biogas: Methane gas from waste water treatment plants and food wastes in Stockholm. Cleaned and compressed biogas can be used in CNG vehicles.

Solution
Green Remediation
Within the EU, there are many brownfields with polluted soil, water or air. A significant number of these brownfields have a central location and are connected to the transport system. Green Remediation is a solution which remediates these brownfields and enables the use of these areas. The main benefits of applying this model are: 1) Prevention of new developments on greenfields 2) Improvement of human health and environmental conditions. The idea behind this green remediation is that not only pollution is minimised or eliminated, but also the efficient use of resources and impacts of restoration techniques are reduced. The essential point is that the polluted soil or groundwater is decontaminated on-site, eliminating the need for removal and transport off-site. Additionally, energy can be generated locally, allowing savings in power consumption. Also, old infrastructure can be reused or recycled.
Use Case
Smart Street Lighting in Tartu
[...]
The smart street light solution that will be implemented in Tartu is simple and can be deployed quickly even on a large scale. The solution enables municipalities to start saving right from the moment of introducing the solution without having to worry about the payback period. Furthermore, as savings are instant, it will also reduce the payback period of the LED luminaire. The successful installment of the solution will also enable other smart city innovations based on the same technology and principles, such as smart parking, smart traffic management and smart waste management.

First of all, there was the decision to illuminate the paths of the playground when the night falls in. To do that in an energy efficient way, LED technology was chosen. But even with LED luminaires it is a waste of energy when the luminaires are shining even if nobody is there. Next to that it is an impact to the live of local animals and their environment. So the luminaires have been equiped with an sensor which is detecting people and is able to differentiate them from animals. With this technology the light is dimming down to a low level of light when nobody or just animals are there. If somebody
