Initial brainstorming Costa Rica
List of potential projects
PROJECTS KÖLN - RIO
1- Establishment between Cologne and Rio a common methodology for CO₂ inventories + ongoing emissions monitoring. Rio’s expertise input to Cologne.
2- SMART CITY KÖLN concepts applied in a pilot in Rio – Diversification of the energetic matrix
with establishment of thermal / photovoltaic solar panels, biogas, LED, smart meters, etc.
(Pilot project: street linking formal and informal neighborhoods Leme and Chapéu Mangueira)
Climate impact measurements and monitoring.
3- CHP and other alternatives for energy recovery from non-recycled urban waste (95%)
4- Enlarging the emergency program for the population residents in risk areas such as favelas
and areas subject to floods in Rio.
5- Improvement and extension of the program for waste segregation, collection and recycling
Methodological and technological strategies to add value to recycled waste.
6- Research program regarding the Impact of Climate Change in the health of the population of
Rio.
7- Efficient composting systems for the organic waste and green materials from parks and
gardens / Rio

Waste management in Cologne
Composting plant
Incinerator
The incineration plant produces steam and 56 MW of electricity.
The steam is sold to the FORD plant nearby.
The electricity is partly used by the plant itself and the rest os sold to
the municipal energy company generating energy for 120‘000 residences.
19
Waste management a good cooperation potential
Rio
Cologne
Half a ton of municipal waste generated per person in the EU27 in 2007.
Cologne’s figure is 670kg. Rio’s waste management profile is equivalent to that of
Romania with 1% of the waste recycled so this area has good potential for exchange.

Initial result of the cooperation:
Cooperation on green waste recycling
• Partners:
– AVG Cologne
– COMLURB Rio
– EG/ BMZ: financial support € 623‘000
• Aim:
– Reduction of emissions related to green waste
transformation into methane gases.
– Potential mitigation: 20‘000 tons per year.
22

City Climate Partnerships
Pre-conditions for success:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Existing city partnerships are helpful,
Political will to engage in climate programs,
External support and facilitation is a help,
Engage all willing actors from public and civil society,
Engage municipal companies early in the process to
enable mitigation and adaptation action and
guarantee sustainable learnings and on-going
cooperation.
6. Meaningful expertise in the exchange process,
7. Intercultural competence is vital,
8. Financial support for projects consolidates the gains.
