KEM measures Zell am See-Kaprun as a KEM region (Climate & Energy Model Region)

The KEM Region creates awareness about the CO2 footprint of a holiday trip and offers you an opportunity to actively participate in climate protection. With the possibility of compensation, the region promotes the willingness to actively participate in shaping the region’s climate-neutral future.

It is not only the car-free holiday that counts, but above all the journey by public transport: After all, 80 percent of the CO2 emissions of a holiday are caused by travelling to and from the destination. In this measure, we promote public transport and alternative mobility on site.

The region's businesses are to benefit from know-how, information and comprehensive advisory services provided by energy and mobility advisors. Whenever there are questions in the businesses, an expert comes to the premises and conducts meaningful consultation. 

Solar power and e-mobility are visible signs of commitment to climate protection. The additional financial support that businesses in the KEM region get for this is particularly interesting.

Those who use alternative forms of energy, such as solar power, should also say goodbye to old heating systems. The KEM region supports businesses with advice and shows ecological and economic alternatives to oil heating.  

Im Bereich Abwärmenutzung und gegenseitige Nutzung von Wärmenetzen liegt größtes Potential verborgen. In der KEM-Region soll bisher ungenutzte Abwärme verstärkt genutzt und betriebsübergreifend eingesetzt werden. Geothermie und Speicherung runden die Abwärmenutzung ab.

Best practice examples are an inspiration for the entire KEM region: the know-how of the best in the region - whether mountain railways, lifts, hotels or ice rinks - should also be available for other projects in order to make the tourism infrastructure climate-friendly in the long term.

Zell am See-Kaprun wants to develop into a designated e-bike region and make locals and guests sustainably mobile. In this way, the living environment and holiday area wants to say goodbye to traffic jams and long searches for parking spaces, and create sensible mobility alternatives as an e-bike region. 

Networking, know-how and knowledge transfer - the Zell am See-Kaprun region offers excellent conditions for these topics. Other regions are invited to network at events and KEM congresses: This is how we learn how to create a successful future.

Communication and raising awareness are essential pillars of the Climate and Energy Model Region. Therefore, the population is constantly informed and can get a picture of the comprehensive development steps at any time.

The Zell am See-Kaprun region is blessed with an abundant treasury of regional products: awareness of this is to be raised even further by means of a regionally organised procurement chain for businesses, catering establishments and hotels: From the region for the region, the closer the better.
