The town of Bad Nauheim is a municipality with around 33,000 inhabitants in the Wetterau district of southern Hesse, on the edge of the Rhine-Main metropolitan region. Bad Nauheim has also been a member of the “Hessen aktiv: Die Klima-Kommunen” alliance since March 2021. From 2022 to 2024, the city of Bad Nauheim will receive funding from the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety as part of the National Climate Initiative (NKI) to create an integrated climate protection concept (IKSK) and a municipal climate protection management system as an initial project. The aim of the integrated climate protection concept is to significantly and sustainably reduce energy consumption and thus CO2 emissions in Bad Nauheim.
The objective of the project is the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from the city's operational activities in order to achieve the climate protection targets by identifying the CO2 savings potential of various investment and measure scenarios, taking into account the economic costs.
MACS was contracted with the creation of exemplary sample measures for the scenarios from the previous scenario analysis and consideration of the economic viability of the possible sample measures.
