There is money in Rhineland-Palatinate: After Bavaria, Rhineland-Palatinate will also launch its own funding programme for electricity storage this year. "The funding programme is being worked out at the moment," announced State Secretary Griese (the Greens). The Rhineland-Palatinate state parliament had already decided on the subsidy last December. In 2019 and 2020, 1.5 million euros each are to be distributed as grants for investment in battery storage systems; the grants are to roughly cover what was possible until the end of 2018 through federal funding from KfW: www.energyload.eu/...speicherfoerderung
From 2022, all new public buildings must consist of at least 50 percent wood or other sustainable building material. For buildings with more than eight storeys, the supporting structure must even be made entirely of wood.
It was also decided that 90 ecological neighbourhoods and 100 urban farms should be created in Paris.
From summer 2019, new ideas can be entered into the race
The Federal Ministry for the Environment is today launching a new funding call "Climate protection through cycling". In future, the National Climate Initiative (NKI) will fund model projects that support cities and municipalities, as well as associations and companies, in developing attractive offers for cycling and meeting the increased volume of cycling. The aim is not only to save greenhouse gas emissions but also to contribute to improving the quality of life locally.
Federal Environment Minister Svenja Schulze: "Every second car journey is shorter than five kilometres - for many journeys, cycling is therefore a practical and climate-friendly alternative. However, the existing infrastructure for bicycles on site is often insufficient. This is where we come in with our funding offer. We want to contribute to making cycling more attractive and thus our cities and communities more climate-friendly and liveable.
Project outlines can be submitted from 1 August 2019. Applications are open to cities, municipalities, companies and cooperations of municipalities, associations, clubs, religious communities with corporate status and universities.
Since 2016, the Federal Ministry for the Environment has already supported 38 individual and 18 joint projects on cycling throughout Germany with a funding volume of around 85 million euros.
Many new projects, new photo galleries or new individual project photos have been added to the web database www.siedlungen.eu in 2018. The following is an overview.
