Intelligent Private-Public Neutral Carbon Platform

(IPPCP)

Basic Pilot Info:

Involved Cities:‍ ‍
Zaragoza (Spain)
Ljubljana (Slovenia)

Duration:  01 May 2025 – 31 August 2026 (16 months)
Domains: 

  • Management of energy flows in a city/community specific context and in conjunction with other sectors.

  • Zero pollution actions (e.g., air, water, soil pollution or waste).

  • Other domains falling under the New European Bauhaus initiative (sustainable urban actions and public services)

Motivation:

The IPPCP pilot aims to address the inefficiencies in managing climate, energy, environmental, and pollution data across urban sectors. 

By establishing a robust data cooperation framework, it seeks to streamline data collection and sharing, making it easier for cities to monitor and quantify their progress towards climate neutrality. 

This initiative will enhance collaboration among public and private stakeholders, driving impactful solutions and contributing to the broader Green Deal objectives of achieving net-zero emissions and zero pollution.

Use Case Description:

The IPPCP use case brings together public and private data to support emissions inventories in Zaragoza (ZGZ) and Ljubljana (LJU). The two pilots connect existing systems and data sources through a public-private data space approach, enabling participating organisations to share data under defined access rules. In Zaragoza, the focus is on data relevant to the municipal emissions inventory. In Ljubljana, it is on the controlled exchange of energy, emissions and environmental data. Together, the pilots provide a stronger basis for emissions monitoring and climate action strategies in both cities.

Added Value:

 Climate data is most valuable when it can cross organisational boundaries and help cities see a fuller picture. IPPCP puts this into practice in Zaragoza and Ljubljana. In Zaragoza, the pilot brings data relevant to the city’s emissions inventory into a more coherent framework, making it easier to trace, explore and present through maps, services and visualisations. In Ljubljana, the municipality and a project partner successfully exchange energy and environmental data while each remains in control of its own systems and data.

Both cities now have a tested approach to working with information held by different organisations. It strengthens the foundation for monitoring emissions and planning climate action.
