Bremen Best Practices
The City Municipality of Bremen a Hanseatic city in Northwestern Germany
A commercial and industrial city with a major port on the River Weser, Bremen is part of the Bremen/Oldenburg Metropolitan Region
2.4 million people
Bremen is the second most populous city in Northern Germanty and tenth in Germany
Bremen is some 60 km (37 mi) south from the Weser mouth on the North Sea.
SUSTAINABILITY AND INNOVATIONS IN BREMEN
There are many examples of sustainability being put into practice in Bremen
The city distinguishes itself through its dedication on the entrenchment of sustainability into daily life
Solar and wind energy play a great role as do numerous hybrid busses in the public transport system, the new hydropower station and Bremen’s title of "Capital City of Fair Trade". Sustainability is firmly established in the people of Bremen’s daily lives.
Economical Sustainability
Economical sustainability is largely due to the universities and research institutes of Bremen
The strategic and thereby long-term unification of education and research with commerce is a pillar of economic sustainability
Whether it’s the Technology Park surrounding the university, the House of Science or one of the many networking events – in Bremen there are many opportunities for the transfer of knowledge.
Innovation and sustainability for 2020
Bremen’s mission statement for 2020 accords to the motto
Bremen! Liveable –Urban – Connected
Innovative and sustainable economic developments will play a crucial role on the way to the future
By 2020, Bremen would like to
Create the conditions in which expenditures for research and development in commerce and science can be increased.
Establish itself as centre of competence in climate protection, efficient energy production and renewable energy.
• A very energy and resource efficient alternative to urban sprawl
European Dense City
1) CAR BOOKING & SHARING
Car booking can be done through call or online system
Various mobile points are available where the booked car can be collected from the nearest station (43 stations in total)
USING 1 INSTEAD OF OWNING 1
Reduce Parking Demand
Reduce the cost of
Housing
700 private cars replaced by Car-sharing(3100 customers)
The Bremen Car-Sharer shows a reduction of about 5 million kilometres driven less by car (per year)
Increase the use of Public Transport and environmentally friendly transport
Reduction of CO2 emissions of about 1.9 tons per year
Improve environment qualities of cities
Till now 1500 cars are replaced
By 2020,target is 20,000 car sharers
REPLACING 6000 CARS
Car-Sharing is a tool for sustainable and energy efficient urban development
It gives an alternative to car-ownership - and supplements the environmentally friendly modes of transport
It is a kind of 'mobility insurance' for cases when other modes are not sufficient
The integration into intermodal chains and into urban development is key factors of the further development
2) ENHANCED ENVIRONMENTAL FRIENDLY VEHICLES (EEV)
European emission standards for the definition of a clean vehicle.
The most severe exhaust emission standard for internal combustion engines issued to date.
Bremen worked on increasing environmental performance of heavy- and light duty fleet vehicles.
Economic incentives to switch to more environmentally friendly fuels were implemented
Journeys of Bremen Citizens
60 % sustainable modes
Clean Diesel Buses Since 2006, all new buses have fulfilled
the EEV emission standard and now almost the entire fleet meets the EEV standard
(Enhanced Environmental Vehicles)
Emission Bus Fleet Bremen
Clean cars Compressed natural gas (CNG) - In January 2011, there were approximately 350 CNG
vehicles that resulted in a 60% decrease in NOx
emissions
- Partnership with gas provider
Electric - Partnership with energy provider
- Reduce the energy and emission of greenhouse gases
- The silent and emission free brings new possibilities for
improvement in quality of urban life.
Collective Transport (Public Transport)
Easy interchange between different Public Transport modes
- buses
- bicycle
- taxi
Cycling – Individual Transport Modes
Current share of cycling, 26% (By 2020, target is at least 30%)
The bicycle is the ultimate zero-emission-vehicle
‘cycle streets’ with priority for cyclists
Infrastructure Cycle parking with good bicycle racks
(decentralised)
~ 2500 racks inner city On-street bike racks
Interchange / Bike Parking Safe storage 3,000 bikes at Central
Station Bike-racks at all regional train stops
Advantages - reduction of space for cars
- better conditions for walking, cycling
and public transit
