In Avedøre Green City, green energy supply, green buildings and green mobility are serviced by sustainable energy, green urban spaces, climate awareness and a sustainable lifestyle. It is a wish from the residents and an ambition, which is also shared by organisations, institutions and companies in the area. Avedøre District Heating, Hvidovre Municipality and the social housing administrator, which is the administrator of the three large housing departments in Avedøre Stationsby and others.

 

The housing departments, Avedøre South and North are facing a major renovation. Later, Store Hus will also join.

 

Avedøre District Heating is also facing a major renovation of the district heating system and an establishment of a new district heating system in Avedøre Village. It has opened up a unique opportunity to make the whole district a lab for sustainable energy optimization, which other cities in Europe can learn from.

 

The residents in the area are the 'lifeblood' of Avedøre Green City. They are the ones who know what it takes to make it a great place to live. Therefore, they have a key role in the development. The ambitions have been set in motion for the sake of the residents, so it is essential that they feel ownership of the process and agree that only together can we create a sustainable district that includes all elements of the UN's 17 world goals - energy renovation, energy production, mobility, health, education, equal democracy, circular economy, job creation, gender equality, smart IT, climate adaptation and biodiversity.

In working with the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals, we focus on four, overarching themes within sustainable urban development: Green mobility, Green energy, Green urban space & Climate, as well as Green awareness & Sustainable lifestyle.

The project, is p.t. implementing a parking place for electrical vehicles in Avedøre. It will be the first to be implemented. The parking includes two chargers for four vehicles. The chargers are supplied with sustainable energy – from PV on a glass cover above the parking. 

Next step will be the development of a mobility plan for all of Avedøre Green CIty, e.g. where electric cars, shared cars, electric bicycles and electric scooters’ parking spaces and payment are included. It will be a concrete step in trying to make a MaaS(Mobility as a Service) solution a success. 

In parallel, a number of innovative EU projects is also developing inputs for "Avedøre Green CIty". 

ELENA - is looking at the overall energy system - supply and demand and how to balance.

POCITYF - is a planning project for all of Hvidovre Municipality, but the project looks especially on cultural heritage, which of course is not the first thing to think about, when looking at Avedøre's concrete walls. But actually, the city has an interesting story and is absolutely worth keeping as both architectural, cultural and social heritage.

RINNO - develops facade modules for Positive Energy Buildings to be industrially produced and implemented with a minimum og costs and man hours.

Smart Energy Green Cities - is developing ATES solutions with ground water storage of energy from solar cells, to be implemented in Avedøre if possible.
