9. City Council adopted the Environmental Action Plan in 22th of September 2002 and the town-planning scheme in 20th March of 2003 L In this context an important role is played by the Agency of the City of Rome for the sustainable use of energy, RomaEnergia

13. CO 2 88,6% CH 4 11,2% N 2 O 0,2%

14. Transport and Mobility Household and Commercial Sectors Energy Waste Rome approach: Integration into a unique picture… … involving the Stakeholders with the Voluntary Agreement !

19. Main solutions for mobility are infrastructural BUT….. 2. Using bio fuels for public fleet To replace till 20% of traditional fuels by bio fuels for all the public buses in Rome e.g. cut about 30 kt CO 2 per year

20. CO2 emission from Household …

21. .. and from Commercial Sector until 2012

22. The Town Council Resolution of February 2006: “ From 2008 in public buildings and in new private buildings, the 30 % of total energy requirements have to be provided by utilizing renewable energetic sources. The 50 % of primary energetic requirements for sanitary hot water have to be assured by utilizing renewable sources.” Energy Saving Strategy….

23. And for public buildings (e.g. schools, public offices, …) …. photovoltaic plans installed for about 160 kWp

24. Economic growth matchs with increasing emission of commercial sector The reduction of emissions in this sector, other than the building interventions, will need important operating measures We decided to use a participated process Some subjects (now 36 members) among companies , trade associations , energy companies , trade-union organizations , environmental agencies signed a Voluntary Agreement to exchange information and to decide together a bouquet of proposal to take out the elements to write the Action Plan

25. The first result is the sharing and approval of emission estimate from 1990 to 2012 1.024,1 13.045,6 12.021,5 12.857,2 Gross Emissions -89,6 154,2 243,8 260,7 Agricolture 2,6 387,6 385,0 411,8 Industry -69,7 1018,8 1088,5 1164,2 Energy -869,0 253,0 1.122,0 1.200,0 Waste 1.362,8 3.105,4 1.742,6 1.863,7 Commercial 701,2 4.444,5 3.743,3 4.003,6 Transport 5,7 3.987,1 3.981,4 4.258,2 Residential Distance from the objective 2012 (Present Status) 2012 (Kyoto objective) 1990 Sectors

26. Sinks …. Rome has cultivated fields for 63.000 ha (about 50% of whole territory) Rome is the largest agricultural Capital in Europe Rome will plants 500.000 new trees in five years and will double trees in public areas to increase the sinks in Rome (e. g. to cut about 9 kt CO 2 per year)) and to develop actions for the use of biomasses

27. Last remarks We can use different parameters to implement cost / benefit analysis but… The long term costs are minimal compared to the costs of inactivity The correct cost / benefit analysis must consider economical, environmental and social costs to implement the sustainable development analysis

28. Thank You !!!!!
