Energy Industry  Vattenfall is the company, which provides the most hamburg private households with electricity.  Demand for electric current is different to different daytimes.

Political View  FDP: - against the energy turnaround - primarily focuses on economic factors  nuclear power is more affordable than renewable energy  Grüne: - support the energy turnaround  more ecofriendly electric current  safeguarding of jobs in HH

Hamburg as Environmental Capital  2011: Hamburg get the title as environmental capital  Hamburg's objectives (till 2021):  CO2 emission -40%  bicycle traffic +6%  raise internal growth  Hamburg's objectives (till 2050):  CO2 emission -80%

Nuclear Energy  2 of 3 nuclear power plants in and around Hamburg are already in dismantling  The salt dome "Gorleben" * is located near Hamburg  The "Kastortransporte" promt demonstrations Energy mix: 2008 = 25,8% *² 2010 = 24,5% 2011 = 17,6% * Gorleben is a entrepot for radioactive fuel rods from nuke. *² percentage of the nuclear power in the energy mix from Germany.

Fossil Energy Sources -Based on organic carbon bonding and degradation products -Exist only in finite quantity on the earth -Are not renewable -Because of their CO2-„Content“ they are ecologically harmful The most popular fossil energy sources:  Fossil oil  Natural gas  coal

Erneuerbare Energie -Energieträger: Wind, Wasser, solare Strahlung oder auch Erdwärme -erneuerbare oder nachwachsende Rohstoffe -abhängig von verschiedenen Faktoren (Kernfusion der Sonne, Gezeitenkraft und Geothermie) -Nutzbar gemacht werden die Energiequellen durch verschiedene Methoden, die auf den Energieträger angepasst sind und somit so effektiv wie möglich neue Energie gewinnen sollen. -mögliche Methoden zur Gewinnung:  Windparks, Solaranlagen, Wasserkraftwerke, außerdem geothermische Kraftwerke Die bekanntesten erneuerbaren Energieträger:  Wind  Solarenergie  Wasser  Geothermie  Biomasse

Green Electricity in Hamburg  Greenpeace: Vattenfall (biggest electricity provider in Hamburg) produce a lot of ecologically harmful carbon dioxide Vattenfall, by their selves, claim, that 90% of their electricity emerge from renewable energies.

END We hope that you learned something about the energy in Hamburg and we look forward to further collaboration, and that you be glad to visit us next year. Michelle, Philipp, Gregor
