Introduction
Target
Energy saving/ reduction CO2 / Sharing knowledge
Location:Amsterdam
How much energy does my neighbourhood use? How much heat is produced by that nearby industrialpark? What are the opportunities for using solar or wind energy? What are the possibilities of matching the demand for energy with the (renewable) energy supply? The interactive Energy Atlas for Amsterdam will answer all these questions.
Reason to Be Selected
Background
The EU-project TRANSFORM is meant to accelerate a transformation of urban space in six European cities. In an urban space, living, working and mobility are transformed. In Amsterdam, Zuidoost (South-east) was chosen as TRANSFORM-area; roughly the area between the Amsterdam ArenA and AMC. The project's name is Energiek Zuidoost. Energy is the connecting factor; the focus lies on energy use, the possibilities to produce energy locally and the reuse of sources like waste heat.In preparation for Energiek Zuidoost, the energy situation in Amsterdam has been mapped and collated in the Energy Atlas. The opportunities for generating and the mutual exchange of energy in Southeast is thus imaged and analyzed. The methodology that produced this body of information can be used to map other areas.
Results
The Atlas showed that there are many opportunities for the use of local waste heat, such as offices, data centers and the AMC. At this moment the municipality of Amsterdam and Amsterdam Smart City are discussing this matter with AMC, Amsterdam Arena, Ikea, NUON en Liander.
