Carbon Track & Trace - CTT Monitoring, Reporting, Understanding of city-level greenhouse gas emissions Both emission inventories and real-time local measurements Better accounting leads to better prioritization of mitigation projects Part of larger SmartCities approaches
Ecosystem CTT 2.0 consortium NTNU, DTU ICLEI-World, ICLEI-Europe, LSCE, South Pole Group, Virtual City Systems Trondheim Municipality, Vejle Municipality, Sør -Trøndelag Fylkeskommune , T:Lab , NumaScale , Norwegian Institute for Air Research Additional local projects, collaboration with DTU, H2020 proposals , Smart Sustainable Cities initiatives
Approach and Activities Integration of measured GHG data into city planning and decision support Deployment of LoRa sensor network in Trondheim and Vejle Development of an analytics framework of GHC emissions Work towards GPC-compliant inventories Scaling out, deployment/testing internationally

Conclusion Using local data helps to see effects of local actions. Good data is a foundation for better decision making. To get the most out of the existing open datasets, we need to invest in ground sensors. This will enable detailed monitoring of city-level emissions. Low-cost sensors can give more detailed local insights. Open datasets can reveal patterns in emissions. CTT allows for fast feedback loops for decision makers.

City centre in a river valley . Geographical challenges due to water and trafic – it all piles op in the low lying areas .
Development Focus on energy and sustainability since 2007 Resilience strategy 2016 Shift in focus : CO2 Energy - kWh Economy , euro/kWh Security of supply Resilience
Needs CO2-inventories => Baseline Activities => doesn’t effect baseline Actual level and impact => not visible We need new approches => CTT
Sensors and cars Different traffic situations Different controlling of traffic lights Reference station in country side
Hopes Data are open - data.vejle.dk Data are visible Data are useful Data are understandable
Expectations Understanding of current level Is there a change over time? Does our activities have an impact ? Can we change plans on basis of data Can knowledge move people ?
Important additional learnings LoRaWAN network Experience with city network and IoT – how can we use that in Vejle? Gain knowledge inhouse and get ready for the future
