Specific goal of Energy agreement
40-50 PJoule sustainable energy (half a million households)
4-5 Mton CO2 reduction by 2011 (1,5 million cars)2
More than proportional contribution
Energy agreement: 5 themes
1. Energy saving in build-up area
2. Sustainable energy
3. Biofuels and sustainable mobility
4. Clean fossil fuel (Carbon Capture and Storage) and Storage)
5. Knowledge and innovation

ADORE IT targets
Specific Objectives Result Indicators: Quantification of
success:success:
�increased availability of regional distribution / biofuels filling stations
�# filling stations +5
�increased availability of bio-propulsed vehicles such as private cars, busses and trucks
�# regional avialibality of bio-propulsed cars
+10%
�increased use of biofuels in accordance with EU targets
�use of biofuels 3,5% in 2009
�shortening of permit and �permit and authorisation -10%�shortening of permit and authorisation procedure-time
�permit and authorisation procedure-time
-10%
�a clear and measurable change in the general and special media on the subject of biofuels
