2. BACKGROUND
• Situated in the Fennoscandian region of
Northern Europe
• Finland's area, at 337,030 square kilometers
(130,127 square miles).
• Bordered by Sweden to the west, Norway to
the north, Russian to the east and Estonia to
the south
• Turku is the main city in its region as well as
the cultural and economic centre of Western
Finland.
• The city was rebuilt according to a grid pattern
of rectangular blocks in which the relatively
broad streets should prevent raging fires.

3. BACKGROUND

4. POPULATION
• As of 2013 – population around 5.5
million *majority concentrated in its
southern region
• There were roughly 303 500
inhabitants living in the Turku sub-
region in the year 2007, which makes it
the third largest urban area in Finland
after the Greater Helsinki area and
Tampere sub-region.

5. ENVIRONMENT
• The major sources of greenhouse gas
emissions in the city.

6. (SEAP)
• Turku’s Sustainable Energy Action Plan (SEAP)

7. INFRASTRUCTURE
PRIORITY INFRASTRUCTURE SOLUTION
Green logistic
•Downsize vehicle fleets and infrastructure
in the city centre and upgrade vehicles to
zero emission technology
•Build tailored solutions for customers
requiring zero emissions for their products
or service
Traffic management
•Encourage P&R, guide drivers to the best
parking places, charge for entry to
congested areas, and car and bike sharing.

8. INFRASTRUCTURE
Biogas
• The gas can be piped for use directly as
a burnable fuel or used to power an
electricity generator.
Building control and management
• Enable energy efficiency in new
buildings and renovations

9. LONG TERM SOLUTION
• This two project very attractive but
need substantial work and funding.
• Would build on the immediate
opportunities to create a sustainable
transport and energy infrastructure.
 Light rail transport
 Smart Grid

10. LIGHT RAIL TRANSPORT
• A way to improve air quality and
diminish environmental impact by
reducing CO2 and pollutant emissions
via traffic reduction and optimization.
• Light rail gives also an opportunity to
reshape, harmonize and develop a city
An opportunity for Turku to take the
path towards a sustainable
transportation system and a wealthy
and livable environment..

11. LIGHT RAIL TRANSPORT

12. SMART GRID
• The smart grid concept brings together
the electricity and communications
infrastructure to help match supply and
demand.

13. OTHER OPPORTUNITIES
• Geothermal/ground heat – using heat
stored in soil, rock or water systems,
transferred to a water-based heating
system using a heat pump. The energy
supplied is several times greater than the
input energy to the heat exchanger.
• Heat machines and chillers – capture heat
that would otherwise be wasted, either
from cooling equipment or heat
production in boilers or power plants, and
use it to warm water for district heating or
other purposes.

14. • Public lighting – technical and operational
options can cut energy use, including
sodium-vapor lamps instead of mercury,
LED technology and improved control
systems.
• Micro combined heat and power (CHP) –
small-scale power generation producing
electricity from heat at low temperatures
using a fluid such as silicon oil instead of
water.
• Smart parking – using parking regulation
to encourage lower emissions vehicles and
co-modality.
OTHER OPPORTUNITIES

16. OTHER OPPORTUNITIES
• Smart Parking

17. BEST PRACTICE BENEFIT
Benefits From Light Rail Network
• It is the cooperation with the city of Turku
and Siemens.
• The study evaluated the effects a light rail
network would have on Turku from an
ecological and economic point of view.
• An integrated light rail solution would
reduce carbon emission by 11 percent by
2035.
• Properties value alongside the network
would increase by an estimated total of
480 to 850 million euro in conservative
scenario.

18. Benefits for the city’s competitiveness
and attractiveness
• Increase in the use of public transport
can reduce the gas emissions.
• The integrated light rail solution would
increase the number of public transport
trips in Turku by 40 percent before
2035.
• A third of the residents of Turku will live
along the planned light rail system in
2035.
BEST PRACTICE BENEFIT

19. BEST PRACTICE BENEFIT
Reduce emissions
• It is estimated that CO2 emissions from vehicle
traffic in Turku will rise by 25 percent, 130,000
tons by 2035.
• Approximately 88 percent of emissions come
from cars and 12 percent from buses.
• The integrated light rail solution would reduce
CO2 from vehicles by 11 percent by year 2035.
• Corresponding to an emission level of 110,000
tons.
• The integrated light rail solution would reduce
NOx by an additional 12 percent to about 250
tons in 2035.
• One light rail carriage is equivalent to 40 cars
and two buses.

20. BEST PRACTICE BENEFIT
Property value will rise
• The study shows that property values
will rise in areas that are within walking
distance of the light rail system
• The price increase is expected to occur
in 800 meter buffer zone along the
planned light rail lines.
• The value estimated would rise about
480 to 850 million euros in 2035.
