AGENEALAgência Municipal de Energia de Almada
AGENEAL, the Local Energy Management Agency of Almada, is a private, non-profit association, created in March 1999, with the support of the SAVE Programme and the Municipality of Almada. Almada is located in the south bank of the Tagus River, opposite to Lisbon.
With 15 partners, AGENEAL congregates some the most important actors at a local and national level, namely the three main transport operators. It’s a member of Energie-Cités and of the ECEEE.
AGENEAL does consultancy, awareness campaigns, advice on decision making, lobby, partnership in pilot projects, etc. Nowadays, the agency areas of activity cover not only sustainable mobility and energy efficiency in transports, but also efficiency in buildings, implementation of renewable energy systems, sustainable urban planning, and other energy efficiency in public equipment.
In the mobility/transport sector, AGENEAL has already acquired a small but rewarding experience: Better Without Cars in Almada (awarded the Ambassador Project status by the Stockholm Partnerships for Sustainable Cities), the European Car Free Day/European Mobility Week in Almada (European Mobility Week Award runner-up in 2004 and nominee in 2006), Almada’s energy and CO2 emission matrix, eco-driving, municipality fleet renovation (that lead to the acquisition of 7 hybrid cars by the City Council), Almada Cycling Plan, among several other projects to promote urban sustainable transport.
In SU:GRE, beside participating in every task and decision making, AGENEAL is specifically responsible for the , along with OEINERGE, for the diagnosis of Portugal alternative fuels and vehicles status and the dissemination of the SU:GRE results.

GrazCity of Graz
With 240,000 inhabitants, Graz is the second largest city in Austria. It is the capital and the cultural, economic and university centre of the Austrian province of Styria.
The City of Graz has actively supported the conversion of the bus fleet of its public transport company towards using biodiesel: since 2005 100% of the bus fleet runs on biodiesel.
The city of Graz has also developed a collection scheme for waste cooking oil - from restaurants and households. This waste cooking oil is converted to Biodiesel in a nearby plant, which was the first biodiesel producer in Austria (started in 1986). The City of Graz started to extend biodiesel usage toward its own fleet - staff cars, cleaning fleet, service cars etc., and plans to actively promote the usage of biodiesel by the general public in a special dissemination package.
The city of Graz is responsible for task 4.2 Guidance Fuels and Refuelling Logistics

GVBPublic Transport for Graz
The Grazer Stadtwerke Verkehrsbetriebe AG (Public Transport Company of Graz) are the largest provider of public transport services in Graz. The fleet includes 61 trams and 142 buses. Presently the GVB employ 412 drivers.
In the year 1994 the GVB started a pilot test of three years to use pure biodiesel for Public Transport in Graz. Two buses were adapted for the use of biodiesel – the biodiesel was produced on the basis of locally collected waste cooking oil. Emissions were monitored by the Graz Technical University. The test was a great success: costs and emissions could be decreased, conversion turned out to be without grave problems. The scheme has since then by steadily extended – monitored within the framework of the EU-projects of CENTAUR and TRENDSETTER. The number of biodiesel buses in the fleet of GVB steadily increased and has reached the 100% mark in 2005. GVB will contribute to sugre with all its expertise gathered with this unique experience. This comprises in house workshops for fleet owners willing to switch to biofuels but also site visits at the premises of GVB in Graz.
