Supporting citizen’s security, health
and environmental protection, safety
of food and chemicals, alternative
energies, nuclear safety,
econometrics, prospective
technologies…
About the JRC

The Covenant of Mayors
Mayors commit to go beyond EU energy and climate
objectives
at least 20% CO2 reduction
in their respective territories by 2020
Define a Baseline Emission Inventory (BEI)
Prepare a Sustainable Energy Action Plan (SEAP)
Implement their Action Plan and report periodically on
progress
Involve citizens and other stakeholders
Adapt city structures and allocate sufficient resources
Encourage other cities to join
Voluntary initiative launched by DG ENERGY in 2008 to
support local authorities in the sustainable energy
development and the fight against climate change
The adhesion to the CoM initiates a process
within the local authority
The SEAP process
Guiding principles of the CoM approach
• Scientific soundness → knowledge of starting point (BEI)
• Territorial approach
• Focus on FINAL energy consumption:
 In Buildings, equipment/facilities (and industries):
→ Municipal sector (exemplary role of the local authority)
→ Residential sector
→ Tertiary sector
 Transport
Actions on Energy Efficiency and
implementation of Renewable Energies
3. The EED ISO 50001, and CoM
Strategy to mobilise investment in the renovation of buildings
[art. 4]
Central government buildings: 3% of the total floor area to be
renovated each year [art. 5]
Promote energy audits and Energy Management Systems (EN
ISO 50001) [art. 8]
“Member States shall promote the availability to all final
customers of high quality energy audits which are cost-
effective”

4. Data collection and Data Quality
Bottom-Up versus Top-Down approaches
 Ideally a full Bottom-Up approach
should be followed
 Top-Down approaches might not
give an accurate picture of
the municipality
Will the Monitoring
Emission Inventories
capture the results of
local actions?

e.g. Central Statistics bureau - Sweden
CHALLENGES IN DATA COLLECTION
Structure of national/regional statistical data
Diesel
Gasoline
Liquid Fossil Fuels
3. Privacy/secrecy issues
Different reporting
schemes, responding
to different needs,
exist…
→ Signatories may
lack resources to
comply with them all
The Baseline Emission Inventory (BEI)
A prerequisite to SEAP elaboration: the BEI quantifies the
amount of CO2 emitted due to energy consumption in the
municipality’s territory, and will thus help select the appropriate
actions
Example: Castelldefelds (Spain)
Share of emissions per sector
5% 2%
21%
37%
28%
7%
Primary sector
Industrial sector
Tertiary sector
Transport sector
Residential sector
Waste management
sector
Three
sectors
represent
86% of the
emissions of
the city
The Monitoring Emission Inventory (MEI)
An instrument to measure the impact of the SEAP actions:
the BEI shows where the local authority is at the beginning. The
successive MEIs will follow the same methods and principles of the
BEI and will show the progress towards the objective.
Example: Sunderland, UK
Every 2 years CoM signatories have to
report (qualitatively) on the
implementation of their actions.
Every 4 years it is mandatory for
signatories to submit an Monitoring
Emission Inventory (MEI).
Importance of reliable Energy
Consumption data!
The Monitoring Emission Inventory (MEI)
Focus: A simple important concept: final
energy consumption
Reporting is divided in four main sectors:
Final energy consumption in buildings, equipment/facilities and industries
Final energy consumption in transport
Other emission sources not related to energy consumption
(e.g. waste, wastewater…)
Local electricity generation
Not mandatory
Indirectly considered, if included in SEAP
Focus of the Covenant
27
Insights on In-depth analysis report (JRC, to
be published)
In-depth study of 25 selected SEAPs
Sample covering the full spectra of the initiative
Understand main strengths and weaknesses
Interaction between other related initiatives
Extract Best practices
28
Data inconsistency identified as a main weakness
Cities with already a energy/climate plan normally need to make an
extra effort in order to adapt to CoM
e.g. Amsterdam has an ambitious climate plan but does not
meet the CoM data reporting requirements
Cities with tradition on climate/energy subjects are the only
ones able to report 1990 as a reference year as proposed by the
methodology (4 out of 25)
29
Recurrent cases of non detailed data for all sectors and energy
carriers  Hard to evaluate the overall impact
Mandatory and optional fields of data filling in the template
downgrades the quality of data
Use of national statistics prevents signatories to provide a
complete and coherent BEI
Only 7 cities of 25 cover all sectors
Implementation and monitoring phases are not well documented
30
 Data reporting remains a major challenge for signatories and the level of
details in the templates shows a certain country dependence
 EnMS can present as a valid tool for consistency of methodological
approach and guarantee quality of data in municipalities
 Energy Audits in the EnMS can be of great help while planning and
implementing Energy Efficiency measures
 Small municipalities can bypass the lack of resources in “Energy Staff”
with the implementation of a EnMS
