Case for action: the Climate Crisis European Framework for Climate and Energy Policy Drivers for Austrian GHG emissions Austrian Experiences Successes and Deficits Renewables Energy Efficiency Content

Atmospheric CO 2 levels increase.... mainly caused by use of fossil fuels

When China stepped in

Emission reduction needed for +2°

2020  “ ”: 20 % reduction in GHG emissions (compared to 1990), 20 % share of renewables of gross final energy consumption 20 % increase in energy efficiency 2030: EU Green paper: tries to integrate competitiveness, re- industrialisation and ambitious climate targets (RE-share: 30%; GHG-Emission Reduction recommended: -40%) Consultation started; new “binding targets” proposal for 2030 expected in coming months 2050: Minus 80% to minus 95% GHG emissions - Energy Roadmap & Roadmap to reach a low carbon economy EU Climate and Energy Calender

Factors determining GHG emission trend in Austria from

Austria‘s experience - Renewables Electricity: ~ 70 % of electricity from renewables (#1 in EU28), mainly hydro; wind fast increasing Green Electricity Act: Feed-in tariffs, separate objectives for PV, hydro, biomass and wind All Energy: 34 % target for 2020 The share increased from 24 to 31 % from 2005 to 2011 New buildings: Subsidies are linked to use of renewables Subsidies for switch from oil/gas to pellets for heating Minimum content of biofuels in diesel and petrol fuel

Austria‘s experience – Efficiency Objective: Stabilize final energy consumption at 1100 PJ from 2005 to 2020 Success in building sector (thermal insulation, nearly zero emission standard for new buildings) Decrease in fuel consumption for new cars (but still 1/3 of final energy consumption is used for transport) 250 m Euro annual subsidies for energy efficiency & renewables measures Support for environmental technology industry

Austria‘s environmental technology industry

Austria‘s deficiencies No decoupling of economic growth from energy consumption Still no transposition of Energy Efficiency Directive into national legislation Re-Vitalise Emission Trading System (on EU level) is urgently needed No targets for post-2020 Make stronger use of economic instruments: Reduce environmental harmful subsidies Ecologic tax reform

The Way ahead… Continued efforts to reach Global Climat Accord Accelerate implementation of Climate & Energy Acquis Continued transformation of the energy system Importance of electricity will continue to grow In partic. wind, PV: power transmission and storage Switch to low carbon fuels Promote efficiency in power generation (refurbishment), industry, buildings & housholds Promote public transport Promote eco-industry and innovation

Let green houses flourish!
