  • Smarter Cities Challenge - Copenhagen Report

    Copenhagen

    Copenhagen is one of 31 cities selected in 2013 to receive a Smarter Cities Challenge® grant as part of IBM’s citizenship efforts to build a Smarter Planet®. During three weeks in May 2013, a team of five IBM experts interviewed 197 stakeholders and worked to deliver recommendations on a key challenge identified by the Lord Mayor, Frank Jensen, and his senior leadership team: How can management of data help Copenhagen achieve its goal of carbon neutrality by 2025?

    Copenhagen is one of 31 cities selected in 2013 to receive a Smarter Cities Challenge® grant as part of IBM’s citizenship efforts to build a Smarter Planet®. During three weeks in May 2013, a team of five IBM experts interviewed 197 stakeholders and worked to deliver recommendations on a key challenge identified by the Lord Mayor, Frank Jensen, and his senior leadership team: How can management of data help Copenhagen achieve its goal of carbon neutrality by 2025? The Copenhagen City Council adopted the CPH 2025 Climate Plan in August 2012, formally committing to the goal via a roadmap for principal target areas and initiatives. Included in this plan is an energy consumption track that seeks to reduce heat consumption by 20%, business electricity consumption by 20% and private household electricity consumption by 10%. The challenge Copenhagen has made significant strides to displace fossil fuel power plants by using renewable sources (wind, solar and municipal waste power) since declaring its initiative. These efforts have already decreased the City’s carbon emissions by 40%. The City remains committed to driving the remaining reductions through 2025, although doing so represents a significant challenge. The City has decided to use data as a tool to reduce energy consumption and as a platform to develop new solutions to help change behavior related to energy consumption. The
    City wants to achieve its carbon neutrality goals while fostering economic and job growth. It recognizes that data can inform decision makers who, in turn, drive the innovations they know are needed to close the emissions gap between now and 2025. The City states that it needs a better strategy for using accessible data to achieve this goal, as well as a gap analysis of which data and digital infrastructures are needed to support the goal of increased energy efficiency.
