Creation of Sustainable Energy (and Climate) Action plan

Question Title

* 1. Which of the following three commitments do the signatories of the Covenant of Mayors (after 2015) commit to?

Reduce GHG emissions by 70% until 2030

Increasing resilience by adapting to the impacts of climate change

Cooperate with other signatories with similar challenges and opportunities

Question Title

* 2. What is the difference between a SEAP and a SECAP? (I.e., what does the “C” stand for?)

Climate – Also adaptation to climate change effects need to be taken into account

Co-operation – The commitment includes co-operation with other signatories with similar challenges and opportunities

Carbon – Methods for carbon capture and storage (CCS) must be included

Question Title

* 3. For which of the following three sections are signatories not obligated to collect data on energy-related emissions?

Transport

Heat and electricity consumption

Local electricity production

Question Title

* 4. What is an emission factor?

A comparison between actual CO2 emission, and emissions if best available technique was used

Amount of CO2 emitted per MWh of fuel

The relation between the amount of CO2 emitted and the cost for energy production

Question Title

* 5. There are 4 main steps for the development of the Baseline Emission Inventory (BEI). Which one is missing in this description:
Specification of the baseline year -> Selection of the emission factors -> Collection of the activity data and development of BEI

Benchmarking with other municipalities

Identifying actions for reduction of emissions

Determination of the boundaries, scope and sector

Question Title

* 6. What is the Baseline Year in the BEI?

The year when the municipality starts to collect data

A year in the past that has the same amount of emissions as the targets set for 2030

The year in the past against which the emission reductions in 2030 shall be compared

Question Title

* 7. Which one of these should not be specifically included in the Energy Supply section of the BEI?

Purchases of certified green electricity

Local heat/cold production

Waste of energy (heat/cold and electricity) from local production

Question Title

* 8. When you do a Baseline Emission Inventory, you may use 2 different approaches for identifying the emission factors for energy. Which are these 2 approaches?

Standard emission factors (IPCC) and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) emission factors

Energy Emission Data Analysis (EEDA) and Standard emission factors (IPCC)

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) emission factors and Energy Emission Data Analysis (EEDA)

Question Title

* 9. You should use actual energy data when collecting data. What can you do if you don’t have access to actual data?

Use a careful estimation of data for energy use. The estimation must comply with the Covenant of Mayors requirements

It is possible to model the energy consumption data on the actual data from a municipal that is very similar, according to a Covenant of Mayors framework

Create a realistic scenario based on the data in the Covenant of Mayors database, collected from other municipalities

Question Title

* 10. What are realistic sources of data for actual energy data?

Surveys addressed to a set of energy consumers

The municipality itself as building owner and maybe energy company

Studies from universities

Question Title

* 11. Which step is missing for finding an estimation of energy use for industrial units?
Unitary thermal and electrical consumption -> Allocation of thermal energy for different energy carriers -> Final energy consumption for the different energy carriers

Number of industrial units (as first step)

Checking with industrial units that the numbers make sense (as last step)

Matching the numbers with local energy production (as last step)

Question Title

* 12. Which of these data sets is required to be collected as actual energy data?

Public transport

All energy for new development areas

Public lighting

Question Title

* 13. What road and rail transportation are included?

All road and rail transportation within the municipal borders

Only the road and rail transportation that both starts and ends within the municipal borders

The data used is the amount of fuel bought within the municipal borders

Question Title

* 14. For local electricity production, what data do you use?

Actual data for larger plants, but not for smaller installations

Actual data for both larger plants and smaller installations

It is not needed to use actual data, also estimations are acceptable

Question Title

* 15. What is green procurement (GPP)?

A tool for achieving environmental policy objectives related to climate change, resource use, sustainable consumption and production

”Green” refers to the colour of the paper that was previously used for public procurement done by municipalities

Procurement of plants, and tools and accessories connected to plants (such as soil, rakes etc.)

Question Title

* 16. What is Passive House Standard?

A standard describing a “smart home”, where everything is digitally steered so that the residents can be passive

A standard for renovating buildings with as little new material as possible, with extra focus on sustainable materials

A standard with high focus on energy, aimed at new nearly zero emission buildings, which can be applied in all climates
