Description
The municipalities of Pernik and Bobov Dol, responsible for coal based electricity production, together with the Stara Zagora region, provide over 45% of the total energy resource of Bulgaria. Transitioning to a carbon neutral economy is a considerable task for these regions. The project seeks to improve the capacity of Pernik and Bobov Dol municipality to develop and implement workable policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to climate change.
The project support policies on a local level which will help for reduction of greenhouse emissions and adaptation and mitigation to climate changes through pilot measures such as installation of hydrogen based heating systems in several municipal buildings in each municipality. This will allow for a drastic reduction of harmful emissions and around 50% decline in the consumption of conventional fuel.
The campaign will also include trainings, press-conference and analysis to identify the answers to some key questions such as which sectors are with highest percentage of CO2 emissions, which ones successfully apply the principles of collection and storage of the emissions and how to energy transform the CO2 emission- intensive regions.
