  1. Renewable Energy Technologies. Which is the best solution? David Gilbey – Renewable Consultant 8th April 2014 www.uxenergyservices.com 01473 407900

  2. Government Targets • Reduce GHG emissions by 80% by 2050 from 1990 baseline levels • Reduce GHG emissions by 20% by 2020 • How are we doing against that target? • Central Government have a target to reduce GHG emissions by 25% in 2014/15 from 2009/10 levels • 20% renewable contribution by 2020 • Scotland contribute one third of UK Renewable input in 2012 To implement financial and reputational drivers to develop energy management strategies and promote a better understanding of energy usage

  3. Organisation Pressure Estimated annual public sector energy spend is £2.54 billion, increasing each year. CO2 of 16.7 million tonnes per annum. Increasing pressure to reduce these costs: • Increased energy costs • Increased energy taxes • CRC – cost of allowances • Sustainable image

  4. Key Low Carbon Solutions UX Energy Services offer an integrated service… Wind Mini CHP District Heating Solar Thermal CHP Solar PV GSHP LED Lighting Biomass

  5. Renewable Energy Technologies • Ground Source Heatpumps (GSHP) • Air Source Heatpumps (ASHP)

  6. Renewable Energy Technologies • Wind Turbines • Solar Thermal • Solar PV • Biomass Solutions – Wood Pellet or chip

  7. Incentives • Feed In Tariffs – FiT’s up to 5MW - index linked • Renewable Heat Incentive – RHI – index linked • Reduction in Carbon Costs • Less exposure to fluctuating commodity markets • Lower Energy Costs • Corporate Social Responsibility

  8. Solar Feed in Tariff Update • April FiT deadline triggers 77MW solar rush in March • EU-China minimum price to fall to €0.53 per Watt • Current FiT rates for solar PV:-

  10. What is the Renewable Heat Incentive? • The Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) is a Government Scheme that provides financial support to heat generators and producers of bio methane. • Provides a continuous income stream for up to 20 years. • To ensure renewable heating systems are attractive when compared with fossil fuel alternatives. • Accelerate deployment of renewable heat technology. • Government target of 12% of heating to come from renewable sources by 2020. • Estimated 44 million tonnes of carbon saved (MtCO2) by 2020

  11. Renewable Heat Incentive • By 2020, RHI support levels are expected to bring forward: > 14,000 installations in industry > 112,000 in the commercial and public sector >2nd phase introduced to support domestic sector in 2014 > Expected to generate around 57Twhr’s of renewable heat

  15. Energy Cost Drives Demand Reduction With many organisations already advanced in implementing energy saving technologies prior to considering investment in renewable energy technologies, UX are now assisting companies to determine if on-site renewable technologies are the right investment. Of the technologies available, UX also assist clients to determine which is the most appropriate or combination of technologies for an organisation to achieve its cost and CSR objectives, quantifying payback through a demonstrable record of ROI and within a defined period.

  16. UX Renewable Energy Services offer: • Independent Advice • Sustainable Feasibility Studies • Pre-Design Project Consultation • Recommendations with Forecast ROI • Project Management for Planning and Implementation • Technology specific expert advisory consultants • Solution design, tendering, installation and maintenance support • Access to funding and Energy Service Company (ESCo)

  17. Case History Oil Vs. Biomass

  18. Reducing Oil and Carbon Emissions • 600kW Oil fired Boiler 36 years old • 150,000 litres oil/annum • Oil at 6.5p/pkWhr delivered • Approx. 1.6GWhrs • Assume 80% eff. – likely to be less • Delivering 1.28GWhr’s heat maximum • 530 Tonnes CO2 • Oil storage issues • Environmental problems • Ageing plant – spares??

  19. Reducing Oil and Carbon Emissionscing Oil and Carbon Emissions • 500kW Biomass fired Boiler • Typically 90% eff. • 285 tonnes wood pellet/annum • 3.1p/kWhr wood pellets delivered • >10% MC • Approx. 1.4Gwhrs fuel input • Delivering 1.28GWhr’s heat • Reduction in 530 Tonnes CO2

  20. Reducing Oil and Carbon Reducing Oil and Carbon Emissions Emissions • RHI Income - £45,933/annum • Income for 20 years RPI’d • Current oil = £103,680/annum • Biomass Fuel = £53,760/annum • Fuel saving = £49,920 • Annual Gain = £95,853 • Carbon reduction of 530 tonnes/annum • “Zero rated” under CRC • Fully automatic • 1,500Kg ash for fertiliser • Remote monitoring of fuel levels • Greater fuel security • Pre packaged kit available

  21. Example • 2012 client spend circa £98k on oil • Fuel savings approx. £50k/annum • RHI Income £45k/annum – indexed linked to RPI • RHI estimated £1.3M over 20 year period • Oil estimated to be around £4.2M over 20 year period • Biomass estimated £1.5M over 20 year period • Saving over 20 years • approx £3.8M • D C F approx £2.5M • 10,600 tonnes carbon > £170K CRC of savings

  22. Options • Pre packaged options available

  23. Renewable Energy - The Benefits • In summary, • Financial incentive through indexed FiT and RHI income for 20 years • Short payback periods • Pre packaged options available • Established providers and supply chain • Cutting edge technology • Reduced exposure to fuel price fluctuation. • Significant carbon reductions – CRC benefits and efficiencies. • Improves flexibility • Improved security of supply
