Effect

Vienna

a long history, aging infrastructure, complex social management, building energy consumption and transportation energy consumption account for more than 70% of final energy consumption.

Macro management of urban energy systems, high-efficiency production and supply technologies, intelligent networks and thermal energy supply, dynamic buildings with low energy demand, develop environmentally-friendly, energy-efficient, and low-carbon emission activity systems.

Vienna’s urban population accounts for 20% of the country, and its energy consumption accounts for only 12% - 14% of the country.

New York

GDP reached USD 900.7 billion in 2017, extremely dense urban population, inconsistency between energy consumption and economic development, outdated energy infrastructure and excessive investment costs for upgrading.

Improve the organization structure of urban energy management.

Fine and strict control of energy management processes to enhance urban energy security capabilities.

Improve urban energy use efficiency and promote the use of new energy.

The New York City Energy Sustainable Development Strategy focuses on the long-term planning of 2030, and guarantees to achieve the expected strategic goal of reducing emissions by 30% by 2030.

Singapore

lack of local resources, highly urbanized countries, small land area and high population density.

Study the potential of waste production capacity to improve energy efficiency.

The world’s largest floating photovoltaic power plant was established in 2016.

Develop standards in a variety of industries, including the construction industry.

Promote innovative industries, apply digital technology to build urban smart energy systems.

Innovate scientific research mechanism.

The most widely used WtE technology has been used to meet 3% of Singapore’s electricity demand. 60% of the waste in Singapore is recycled, 38% of the waste is used to generate electricity, and only 2% of the waste is sent to landfills.

Suzhou

Suzhou’s energy conservation and consumption reduction work in the industrial, transportation, and construction fields started earlier,

gather leading technologies, innovative equipment and emerging industries

1) On the energy consumption side, promote clean substitution of terminal energy consumption, control the total coal consumption, and reduce the pollution of scattered coal and scattered oil on cities.

2) Through the construction of the Industrial Internet of Things, the introduction of top companies in the field of industrial intelligence such as Alibaba and China Mobile Big Data Research Institute will create an efficient and green industrial system, transportation system and building system on the energy consumption side.

3) Fully develop and utilize local clean energy on the energy supply side, promote distributed energy management, make full use of the excellent resources of local enterprises, such as GCL, etc., carry out the construction of future science and technology museums, publicize future smart energy application scenarios, and establish demonstration projects.

4) The energy transmission link further develops a strong smart grid, promotes the interaction between the source and the grid, and strengthens the storage and transportation capacity of natural gas and refined oil

Coal accounted for 60% of primary energy consumption in Suzhou, and the proportion of clean energy continued to increase, reaching 9.48%, electricity accounted for 28.3% of terminal energy consumption.

At the stage of transformation and upgrading, the total energy consumption of residents and per capita are leading, and the energy consumption structure is gradually shifting to the transportation and construction fields

Xiong’an

rich in clean energy resources such as geothermal energy, photovoltaics and biomass, large scale renewable energy generation capacity, alternative resources with natural gas pipelines and underground gas storage, will create high-quality energy demand.

Create a zero-carbon smart green energy system, and simultaneously create two worlds (physical world and data virtual world) from two dimensions (hardware infrastructure and institutional soft environment). Make full use of the advantages of clean energy resources such as geothermal energy and realize complementary with multi-energy such as external green power and natural gas. Comprehensively adopt the principles and technical system of energy internet, multi-energy synergy, “source-network-load-storage” synergy, centralized and distributed synergy, and planning-construction-operation-management synergy. In accordance with smart cities’ cell body energy station-cluster-network model, gradually build a new district terminal energy supply and demand system. Innovate energy systems and policies and meet the high-quality energy needs brought by high-quality economic development.

It has recently achieved “carbon neutrality”, and will completely rely on renewable energy to achieve zero carbon emissions by 2040.
