study realisation improvement reduce the number of car owners, the need for parking spots and – it is hoped – greenhouse gas emissions, too. ÅF as sustainability coordinator The developers working on Fullriggaren have contracted ÅF as a sustainability coordinator to liaise with the City of Malmö. Fullriggaren is a pilot project in this respect, where ÅF is a link between the City of Malmö and the building contractors, providing expert opinions on issues concern- ing sustainability, supporting the construction process and assisting with basic data and calculations throughout the entire project, from planning to realisation. ÅF is also responsible for checking the deliverability of agreed performances and for following up the project results. Biogas from organic waste The project will result in a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. Thanks to a lower energy use and the production of heat, power and biogas from renewable sources instead of fossil fuels, carbon dioxide equivalents will be reduced by up to 940 tonne per year. The project will also help meet Sweden’s national environmental target of recovering at least 35 percent of food waste, as organic waste in the area is collected and used to produce biogas. 1) 40 percent more energy efficient than Swedish national energy requirements. Calculated with an energy density of 9,04 MWh/m3 gasoline. 2) Photo: Scanpix Västra hamnen, a new city-centre neighbourhood that has taken shape since 2000, has come to symbolise Malmö’s ambitions for sustainable urban development.
