Right from the start, the city has imposed strict environmental requirements on buildings, technical installations and the traffic environment. The goal of the entire environmental programme is to halve the total environmental impact in comparison with an area built in the early 1990s. Another way of putting it is that the buildings in Hammarby Sjöstad will be twice as eco-friendly as a normal building.
RESULTS: Site energy balance 50 % of electricity- and heat consumption derives from recycled organic and combustable waste which is transformed into district heating/electricity. Heat recycling within the buildings. External energy demand reduced to 60 kWh/sqm/year for new building (current rate 100 kWh/sqm/year). In some experiment installations solar cells add 5% to the household electricity demand. And solar collectors can yield up to 50 % of the annual hot tap water requirement. Private Cars Proportion of households with a car: 62% - 2007 (in comparison 2005 66%). Amount of cars per household: 0.7 - 2007 (in comparison 2005 0.75). Members subscribing to car sharing pool (currently 37 low emission cars): 500 members (6% of the total households) and 100 companies. Transport 52 % public transport. 21 % private commuters. 27 % pedestrian/bicycle.

The City of Stockholm has carried out three tyre pressure campaigns at 20 petrol stations. Drivers were assisted in checking the tyre pressure and informed about how emissions of carbon dioxide are reduced if the tyres are pressurized correctly. Each participating station was provided with the folder “Pump It Up” (Öka trycket) to hand out to its customers. The tyre pressure was measured on 2,987 cars, which is one percent of the car fleet in Stockholm. Out of these cars, 65 percent had a tyre pressure that was too low. Nearly one out of every four Stockholmers noticed the campaign.

The family members in 40 households saved all their receipts in order to calculate their emissions of greenhouse gases. The families were given personal advice about how to reduce their use of direct and indirect energy. The project measured the family’s total energy use in its overall consumption of goods and services. Their altered travel habits contributed the most to the reduction of emissions. After the project, there was a noticeable change in lifestyle among the participating households. They had reduced their emissions of greenhouse gases by 22 percent, which equals 1,098 kilos of carbon dioxide per person and year. The project also punctured the myth that climate-smart choices are too expensive for a household. The project was mentioned more than 100 times in Swedish and foreign media.

Energy efficiency has been an integrated part of the environmental supervision in Stockholm since 2005. The City of Stockholm has interpreted the Swedish environmental legislation, that environment supervision should include energy efficiency in industry and buildings. The City of Stockholm has had a case in the Supreme Environmental Court regarding the right of a municipality to conduct environmental supervision of energy efficiency. The Supreme Environmental Court did in 2012 the same interpretation of the legislation as the City of Stockholm. The case has become a precedent for all environmental supervision in Sweden.

The City of Stockholm’s goal is to ensure that Stock¬holm is fossil fuel-free by 2050. The roadmap describes how fossil fuels can be replaced by other sources of energy and how the overall need for fuel can be reduced through the introduction and implementation of energy efficiency measures. By 2050 the population of Stockholm is expected to have risen to 1.2 million, an increase of 40 percent compared with the figure for 2012. It has been calculated that this expanding population will generate a need for 5,000 new homes a year – a total of 190,000 new homes by 2050. The need for pre¬mises for shops, offices, schools, hospitals, etc. is expected to increase to keep pace with the rise in the number of residents; so, too, is the demand for travel and goods transportation in the city. This means that the city can expect its total energy needs to increase by 40 percent.

For the production of district cooling, cold water from lakes and the sea is used. In addition, the process utilizes the cooling effect that arises in heat pumps that extract energy from seawater or wastewater. The use of district cooling reduces carbon dioxide emissions in Stockholm by about 50,000 tonnes annually. The same heat pumps can be used for both district cooling and district heating according to the season. Fortum Värme's Stockholm network for district cooling is the world's largest network of its kind, and covers nearly the whole of central Stockholm. District heating offers the greatest benefit at workplaces with a large amount of heat-producing technical equipment and within the food industry. District cooling also replaces small individual cooling plants that are less efficient.

"Construction of the city’s first district heating system began at the end of the 1950s. Since the mid-1960s, oil and coal have been gradually replaced with biofuels. Today, district heating is produced by AB Fortum Värme co-owned with the City of Stockholm (a company operating Fortum Heat Division), and comprises over 80 per cent renewable fuel or energy from waste or residual heat. The district heating system covers nearly 80 per cent of Stockholm’s total heating needs.
The Board of AB Fortum Värme decided in 2009 to establish a desired position in 2030, which means that district heating is produced with minimal resources and climate neutral. The desired position means that the heat will be produced by 100 per cent renewable and waste fuels in 2030. Climate compensation will be made for emissions of green house gases that origin from fossil energy in residues, i.e. fossil plastic residues in waste.
In 2012 Fortum Värme introduced a business model for feed in of residual heat to the grid from external actors such as retailers, sun heat producers etc."

This action plan for climate and energy, which is the fourth of its kind, provides a overview of the City’s climate work. The goal of the plan is primarily to describe measures and conditions for achieving the climate and energy objectives of the Stockholm Environment Programme for 2012–2015. Apart from these short-term goals, the plan also embraces the wider goals of the City’s Vision 2030.
3.0 tonnes of greenhouse gases per Stockholmer 2015!
It is fully possible to reach the planned target of 3.0 tonnes of greenhouse gases per inhabitant by 2015 already with ongoing and planned measures. However, this requires that measures are actually carried out. It is also important that the conditions that make these goals achievable are not altered in a negative way. After 2015, it will be considerably harder to reduce emissions at the current rate.
By the year 2015, emissions from the following sectors are estimated to be:
●the transport sector, roughly 915,000 tonnes
●heating (heat and hot water), roughly 720,000 tonnes
●electricity and gas, roughly 500,000 tonnes

The first large EU project that the City of Stockholm participated in was ZEUS – Zero and Low Emission Vehicles in Urban Society. The aim of the project was to overcome market barriers to a wider introduction of clean vehicles. Some examples of barriers that ZEUS focused on were the higher purchase price of clean vehicles and the lack of refuelling facilities, charging stations and servicing, as well as the lack of incentives to promote clean vehicles. The latter was vital for market growth. Within the framework of ZEUS, the goal was to introduce a total of 1200 clean vehicles in the cities, including cars, bicycles, buses and trucks

A walking school bus is an organized group where parents take turns to follow their own and other people's children to school. Traffic Office, which introduced the concept of walking school buses, has for many years worked to reduce the carbon footprint and increase road safety and inspire more children and parents to walk or cycle to and from school. Many children find it more fun to go to school now that they are in a walking school bus. The city's traffic office is to encourage and work through a series of campaigns such as Car-free week and school challenge, walking and cycling to school. In the School Challenge Stockholm schools will compete to become the best at walk, cycle or use public transportation to school.

Most European cities are confronted with problems regarding air- and noise-pollution and congestion caused by motorised road traffic. The evolution of urban logistics in the past decades even worsened that situation, due to an increasing use of heavier goods vehicles in city centres. The ELCIDIS project has tested a better solution for urban logistics by approaching the subject in a dual way, taking into account the interests of all parties involved, in order to set an example for clean and efficient urban distribution in the 21st century. By organising urban distribution using quiet and clean (hybrid) electric vehicles, the nuisance caused by distribution activities will be decreased. The improved living climate of the city will benefit residents and shoppers as well as shopkeepers. A more efficient organisation of urban logistics is achieved by more efficient routing of the vehicles and the use of urban distribution centres (UDC). This will decrease the number of journeys made by heavy vehicles and increase traffic fluidity in urban areas. The improved accessibility of the city will benefit transport companies, shopkeepers and businesses operating in the city

"Is it possible to reduce carbon dioxide emissions to one tonne per person and year? An average Swede generates around ten tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions every year. The Lindell family accepted
the challenge and moved into the One Tonne Life house in January 2011. They had help from an energy-smart house, an electric car and a panel of experts. Emissions from all their everyday activities were monitored. The family could follow their energy use in the house in real time. In the end, the family achieved 1.5 tonne per person. The largest part of their reduction came from transports and living arrangements. The project was initiated by Vattenfall and carried out in cooperation with Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Volvo, ICA, A-hus and Siemens."

When the market started taking shape and more clean vehicles became available, the direction changed towards more external information and communication. This was made possible by the EU project Trendsetter. The city acted more and more as an independent ‘‘supplier of facts” on clean vehicles and fuels, with the aim of increasing the number of clean vehicles in Stockholm as a whole. Focus was put on conveying the message that price and performance of clean vehicles were no different from conventional cars. Information about available models and fuels was also important. Companies and private individuals that had chosen clean vehicles were brought to light, and Clean Vehicles in Stockholm provided journalists with facts and contacts
