Hyllie will lead the way towards Malmö becoming a sustainable
city. To shoulder this responsibility, in February of 2011, the
City of Malmö, VA SYD and E.ON signed a climate contract for
Hyllie. Under this contract, the City of Malmö, VA SYD and E.ON,
jointly undertake to lay the foundation for Hyllie to become the
most climate-smart city district in the region of Öresund and a
global benchmark for sustainable urban development.
Smart grids and smart energy solutions
By as early as 2020, Hyllie will be 100 percent sustained by
renewable or recycled energy. Hyllie is at the forefront of the
development of a sustainable energy system. The area will
integrate, for both electricity, heating and cooling, the smart
networks and other intelligent energy solutions that will hallmark
the future. Smart networks enable flexibility in the chain of
consumption and can optimize the use of renewable energy sources
through better control and monitoring. In Hyllie, people will
actively be able to measure, monitor, control and influence their
own energy consumption using smart energy solutions, and be able to
independently produce energy.
Climate smart transportation
A sustainable approach to transportation, waste management and
recycling are other key cornerstones in Hyllie. Malmö is the first
major city in Sweden to introduce mandatory sorting of food waste.
The food waste will be used to make biogas for such purposes as
fueling buses and garbage trucks. In Hyllie solutions that will
make recycling and waste sorting easy will be developed. For
transportation Hyllie aims to make it easy to walk, bike or use
public transportation instead of taking your car. The Malmö
Central Station is a mere six minutes from Hyllie, and central
Copenhagen is less than 30 minutes away. With bike the city and the
sea are a 15-minute ride away on scenic bicycle paths. If you still
need a car, there will be access to carpooling in Hyllie. It will
also be easy to charge your electric car or fill up using
biogas.
