1 Renewable Energies made- in- Germany From industrial area to solar city: The Gelsenkirchen experience Joachim Hampe, City of Gelsenkirchen, head of economic development

2 Gelsenkirchen: At the heart of The Ruhr, State of North-Rhine Westphalia (NRW)

3 Gelsenkirchen 1929: City of the Thousand Fires (Coal Mine Consolidation )

4 Gelsenkirchen: City of Change Population Coal discovery Industrialization coal & steel crisis Structural Change?

5 The Ruhr: Region of Change Employment in Mining Sector Phase-out of coal mining at The Ruhr in

6 Gelsenkirchen : City of the Thousand Suns

7 Getting Started: Science Park Gelsenkirchen (1995) coal mining and steel production 1995: Inauguration Science Park 11,000 m 2 offices and labs 25 companies / 400 jobs 210 kw-pv Power Plant 44 Mio. Euro investment

8 Solar Industry Cluster: Solar Cell Production (1999+)

9 Solar Industry Cluster: Solar Module Production (1990+) Company Headquarters Akademie Mt. Cenis, Herne Lehrter Bahnhof, Berlin

10 New Pillars for Gelsenkirchen s clean energy industry cluster Heat Pump Production (Vaillant, 2006+) Output 2008: heat pumps Capacity range: : 6 to 46 kw Solar (Flat( Plate) Collector Production (Vaillant, 2008+) Capacity: : 250,000 sqm p.a.

11 Solar Industry Cluster: Demonstration Projects Tram Garage, Local Transport Company (2003): 250 kw Headquarters of construction company Peiniger (2000) PV-Sail, Sport Arena AufSchalke (2001): 84 kw

12 Solar Housing Estate Sonnenhof (72 houses newly built ) 60 65% of warm water through solar collectors (470 sqm) 25% of electricity through photovoltaics (installed capacity: 80 kwp) CO 2 -reduction compared to conventional housing: 55%

13 Solar Renovation: Housing Estate Lindenhof Lindenhof (2003) 60% of warm water through solar collectors (600 sqm) Energy for room heating reduced from 300 to 65 kwh/sqm*a (-80%) CO 2 -reduction compared to conventional housing: 55% Improved leasability!

14 Solar Housing Estate Gelsenkirchen-Schaffrath - Germany s largest PV-community (784 kwp) - 3rd Solar Housing Estate in Gelsenkirchen - Integrated energy concept for miners estate of the 1960s incl. district heating

15 New Flagship-Project Project: : Graf Bismarck Brownfield

16 Graf Bismarck: Garden City at the Waterfront (2010+) 80 ha area in the middle of the city: housing (12ha), offices/industry (11ha) 50 ha free space (forest/water) Solar Architecture: direction/height of buildings, generous plot sizes, roofs & facades suitable for PV & solar collectors, low energy construction Sustainable energy supply Attractive environment for business & citizens

17 Solar Industry Cluster: R & D University for Applied Sciences Gelsenkirchen - testing facilities for PV-modules - research on solar thermal applications (incl. solar cooling) FhG ISE Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Symstems- Laboratory & Service Center Gelsenkirchen
