Sustainable Mobility
Atelier Mobilite Durable
19 October 2011, 14:00-16:00, Lyon, France
Further information »
This conference on sustainable mobility has been organised by Rhônalpénergie-Environnement (RAEE) and the Rhône-Alpes Region within the framework of the European project ClimactRegions.
Transport is the sector that most emits carbon dioxide (26% of GES emissions in France, 34% of carbon dioxide*). Road transport remains the principal responsible for these numbers. Technical advances, together with an increasingly restrictive regulation, have made vehicles less fuel-consuming and less polluting. But if vehicles consume and pollute less, road traffic, on the other hand, increases. Thus global carbon dioxide emissions by road transport have remained around 130Mt since 2001 (17% above their 1990 level*). It is then necessary to take action over urban and interurban traffics in order to regulate their growth. This issue naturally falls into the scope of the European project ClimactRegions, as it aims at feeding regional policies of fight against greenhouse effect.

Rhône-Alpes

The Regional Council's policies cover a wide range of fields. However, the Region's main responsibilities primarily concern:
- High schools and apprenticeship. The Rhône-Alpes Region funds the construction and maintenance of high schools across its territory, looks after their operating budgets and purchases educational materials such as IT and audiovisual tools.
- Vocational training. Universal access to lasting employment is the Regional Council's number one objective. It funds further training courses for young people and adults, provides Rhône-Alpes citizens with support and assistance in their career and job changes and is developing the Accreditation of Prior Experiential Learning (APEL).
- Regional public transport systems. The trains, buses and coaches that are so familiar to thousands of Rhône-Alpes inhabitants are funded by the Region, which also develops the region's railway stations, offers affordable fares to everyone and is increasing the frequency of services.
- Economic development and employment. The aim of Rhône-Alpes is to make full use of every possible source of employment. For example, it supports business start-ups and redevelopments, the development of SMEs, and business units (clusters) focusing on core businesses of strategic importance to the regional economy (environment, food industry, etc.).
- Spatial planning. The Region has acquired a comprehensive range of tools to help it work towards a balanced spatial development approach meeting its social improvement, economic efficiency and environmental protection objectives - in other words, a sustainable development approach.
In 2004, a new phase of decentralisation (whereby the Government devolves responsibility to the Regions in certain fields) began. The Regional Council took over responsibility for high school technical and service staff, healthcare and social work training courses (nurses, social workers, etc.) and for the cultural heritage inventory department.
The Regional Council is currently developing action in other fields, such as international aid, health, sport and renewable energies.
The Rhône-Alpes region lies at the natural crossroads of major national and European axes of communication. This situation makes it a region where diversity is the key-word. This geographic, climatic, sociological and cultural puzzle could be a handicap. Rhône-Alpes has made this its great strength. Considered as a symbol of dynamism in the heart of the European Union, the Rhône-Alpes Region is co-founder of the "Four Motors for Europe" which, with Catalonia, Lombardy and Baden-Wurttemberg, works in the university, scientific, economic, sport and cultural fields.
Rhône-Alpes is one of the regions with the highest birth rates in Europe and its net migration rate is positive. Young people are very much present, and the student population is around 225,000.
It's worth noting that there are 365,000 sites of economic activity in Rhône-Alpes and there are 80,000 active associations. With GDP of more than €145 billion in 2002, Rhône-Alpes produces 9.7% of total French wealth.
Glaciers in the North-East, lavender in the South... once again, Rhône-Alpes proves that it is a land of contrasts.
However, there is a common denominator linking the different territories of the region: the Rhone. The "royal river" runs alongside or crosses the Region's eight Departments (Ain, Ardèche, Drôme,Isère, Loire,Rhône,Savoie and Haute Savoie). As if to prove the importance of water courses in Rhône-Alpes, six of the region's eight Departments bear the name of the river running through them.
Rhône-Alpes borders French regions (Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, Languedoc-Roussillon, Auvergne, Bourgogne and Franche-Comté), the Italian regions of Aosta Valley and Piedmont and the Swiss cantons of Vaud, Valais and Geneva.
Half of the region's surface area (49%) consists of predominantly urban zones, compared with the French average of 41%.
The numerous towns and cities of Rhône-Alpes ensure good interconnection of regional space and the Lyon Metropolitan area is the third-largest in France, after Paris and Marseille.
Similarly, the conurbations of Grenoble and Saint-Étienne both have populations of over 250,000. Five other major towns are scattered over the territory: Annecy, Bourg-en-Bresse, Chambéry, Roanne and Valence. More than half of the territory is at an altitude of over 500 metres and as such is considered to be mountain zone. This particular feature is a fundamental element in the region's character and represents a strong plus factor in its attractiveness. Rhône-Alpes is the only region in France to have glaciers.
An additional piece has to be added to the "puzzle" of Rhône-Alpes: climate. According to meteorologists, there are no fewer than 24 specific climates in the region.
The Regional Council has developed its own strategy for GHG observation and GHG reduction but is also associated to most policies developed by local authorities. The Regional Council implements climate protection plans within their policies, in particular through a specific system: Rhône-Alpes local development contracts, which allows targeted actions according to local specificities. The Regional Council is also associated to policies implemented by other local authorities, in particular "départements" (provinces) and associated communes, through either a financial participation or technical cooperation.
At regional level, Rhône Alpes is a major producer region of electricity, with more than 15 nuclear power plant. There is no problem of shortcuts, as in some other regions (Bretagne, Provence-Alpes Côte d’Azur).
Rhône-Alpes owns many refining oil plants, and is linked with direct pipe line from the big harbour of Fos sur Mer (Mediterranean sea).
Natural gas is provided through other pipelines, also linked to the big harbour of Fos sur Mer (Mediterranean sea).
In 2008, the regional primary power production is estimated at approximately 25,3 Mtep, that is more than 18 % of the national primary power production.
About 87 % of this production is constitued by the classic sectors (electricity production of nuclear origin mainly). The renewable energies thus contribute to approximately 13 % of the primary power production on the regional territory.
In 2009, the consumption in region Rhône-Alpes is 64 TWh (terawattheure = 1 billion kilowatts-hours) that is a decline of 2 % by report 2008, fall slightly superior to that observed on the whole France (1,6 %).
In Rhône-Alpes, the electricity production (112,3 TWh) is in decline of - 2,2 % (2,5 TWh) with regard to 2008. This decline is less important than the national trend which is of - 5,5 %.
The production of nuclear power plants in Rhône-Alpes increases, 1,5 % with regard to 2008, contrary to the national trend which falls with 6,8 %.
The production of hydroelectric power plants is it in strong decline, 13,2 % with regard to 2008, against 9,2 % at the national level.
The production of thermal power plants with fossil fuel also decreases, 5,4 % with regard to 2008, contrary to the national trend or this one increases by 3,1 %.
The production of the renewable energies, consisted of biomass, wind energy, and solar energy, increases very strongly, + 20,7 % by report in 2008, while remaining low in absolute value, that is 0,6 % of the total production. At the national level this increase is 39,9 % for the wind energy and 7,5 % for the other renewable energies (biomass mainly).
The SRCAE (Schéma Régional Climat Air Énergie - Regional Plan Climate Air Energy) of the region Rhône-Alpes was officially launched on December 6th 2010 by the Prefect and the President of Region.
The main objectives of the SRCAE are:
- Strengthen the coherence of the territorial action by giving a strategic and forward-looking frame elaborated in the widest dialogue;
- Articulate the stakes and the regional and territorial objectives with the national and international commitments of France in the field of the air, of the energy and of the climate;
- Integrate the problems of the air, the climate and the energy, treated previously in a different way in separated documents (wind plan, regional plan air quality).
The SRCAE will be a strategic and unique document which integrates all the dimensions climate, air and energy by defining orientations on the air quality, the reduction of atmospheric pollutants, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, control of the energy demand, the improvement of the energy efficiency, the development of all the sectors of renewable energies, and the adaptation to the effects of the climate change.
These orientations will serve as strategic frame for local authorities and will have to facilitate and strengthen the regional coherence of the actions engaged by these local authorities.
From January 2011, the elaboration of the project of SRCAE will begin from the works of the technical committee and the workshops, with the support of a consultant in charge of the elaboration of the regional scenarios. These works will last until autumn 2011.
ENNEREG project partner, Rhonalpénergie-Environnement will be involved in testing the scenarios, as the technical structure of the Regional Energy and GHG observatory, and as participant to the 3 workshops.
The Regional Plan Climate Air Energy (SRCAE) of the region Rhône-Alpes was officially launched on December 6th 2010 by the Prefect and the President of Region.
The European commitments of France in "3*20” must be defined at regional level. Every region of France has to define its contribution to the national objectives according to its own specificities, by elaborating a Regional Plan Climate Air Energy (SRCAE). The objective of this plan is to define the orientations and the regional objectives on horizons 2020 and 2050 in reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, control of the energy demand, development of renewable energies, fight against atmospheric pollution and adaptation to climate changes.
The plan is based on:
- A diagnosis on the questions of air quality, renewable energies, greenhouse gas emissions, energy consumption and the vulnerability of the territory in Climate changes
- An exercise of prospective on horizons 2020 and 2050 on these various elements to determine the possible future of the region
- The definition of objectives and orientations ensuing from the previous exercises

Strategy for future action in the ENNEREG regions
Experience from the ENNEREG Regions
[EN]
During the project, the ENNEREG partners have worked in the development of sustainable energy action plans (SEAP) in their represented regions and in the promotion of sustainable energy projects (SEP). The objective of this document is to present how they intend to continue their efforts after the end of the project, developing the activities planned in the regional SEAP and ensuring the attraction of the necessary resources to promote sustainable energy projects.
Some of the SEAPs defined with the support of the project have been approved by the respective administrations and others still need to be matured to be accepted at the regional level and to be implemented. Thus, the situation is not the same in every region, and the approach to work in sustainable energy is not the same either. This document summarizes the common as well as the specific aspects about how the regions expect to organize and carry on the work on sustainable energy in the next future.

Providing regional energy balances in Eurostat format, Basque Country, Spain - ENNEREG Good Practice in Cooperation - Monitoring
[EN]
Pioneer regions in Europe should compare their energy situation with energy situations of other regions or countries. They should thus use a standard format for energy balances. Due to the size of regional statutory corporations, the calculation of energy balances at the regional level is a challenging task. EUROSTAT, which is the official statistical office of the European Union, has developed a coherence and harmonized system of energy statistics, based on data provided by the Member States.
During the ENNEREG Project, the Basque Country (2.7 mio.inhabitants) and the Region of Rhône-Alpes (6.2 mio. inhabitants) have exchanged their experience on the way how to elaborate Regional Energy Balance in EUROSTAT format.

It was clear, even from a quick inspection, that these returns were not complete or accurate. Some local authority officers completing the returns were obviously unclear about definitions such as “installed capacity” and the survey returns had obvious errors to the experienced eye. Even if it were accurate the survey ceased at the point at which consent was granted or finally refused – it did not provide information on implantation.

Energy Performance Contract of the Museum of Modern Art in Saint-Etienne, Rhône-Alpes, France - ENNEREG Good Practice in Energy Services
[EN] Saint-Etienne Métropole has been engaged in a Climate Plan since 2008. To fulfill its commitment to this climate plan, the local authority opted to use the Energy Performance Contract (EPC) to renew the energy systems of the Museum of Modern Art. The first meeting on EPC between Saint-Etienne Métropole and SIEL took place in June 2009. The EPC focuses on a more efficient heating and cooling system while maintening a high level of requirements on performances (temperature, humidity,….) which is essential for the conservation of art works and for the welcoming quality of visitors and staff.

Today's Energies Award, Rhône-Alpes, France - ENNEREG Good Practice in Energy Efficiency in Buildings
[EN] Back in the 1980s, energy efficiency and renewable energy projects did not have the same attention as they have today. Thus the Regional Council and the regional delegation of ADEME decided to create an energy award contest to raise public awareness, encourage local initiatives as well as highlight regional political commitments in this field. This gave birth to the "Concours Energies d'Aujourd'hui" (Today's Energies Award) in the early 1980s as a key communication tool encouraging the development of forward-thinking sustainable energy approaches and projects in the region.

Fluid ‘Art, Rhône-Alpes, France - ENNEREG Good Practice in Intelligent Energy Education
[EN]
The Fluid’Art competition is part of the Energy Plan for High Schools in the Rhône-Alpes region, which goal is to focus on the fluid consumption in high schools.
The competition principle is to design an animated object integrated in the scholar buildings by the pupils which would change of appearance as a function of the fluids consumption (heating, water, electricity) measured in high schools.
Thanks to the change of aspect of this original objective, on-time information on the level of fluid consumption of the high school will be disseminated in a visible place to the entire scholar community. That will ensure that all involved are informed and will induce behaviour changes and encourage the schools to carry out further energy monitoring.

Centrales villageoises photovoltaïques, Rhône-Alpes, France - ENNEREG Good Practice in Renewable Energy
[EN] Facing the challenges of climate change, Rhône-Alpes regional natural parks mobilize on energy, but in respect with their core missions. Aims to reduce overall consumption of land and eventually use of renewable energy are accompanied by a reflection on the respect for heritage, land development, wealth creation for the people and communities and membership of these operations. However, the current development of photovoltaics does not really bring these values. The regional natural parks and Rhônalpénergie-Environment have therefore decided to test a new approach of this sector to set up projects that respond to this in a more holistic way and set up a generalized approach to rural areas.
