CO 2 Climate balance 1990-2014

Energy and CO2 accounting 2014 Since 2010, the city of Aachen has produced an annual energy and CO2 balance sheet (data and calculations from 1990 to 2008). 2014 is available). 1990 was selected as the base year (under the Kyoto Protocol 1997). The balance sheet is based on the ECORegion calculation tool recommended by the Climate Alliance (Climate Alliance) actual consumption as well as additional statistical data. The final energy balance first includes the energy needs of consumers within the city limits. Primary energy balance (LCA method: Life Cycle Assessment) also includes energy requirements for Production, conversion and transport of energy sources (pre-chain components) and thus extends over the Accounting space out of the city.
