The Opportunity for Scotland in Geothermal
Seonaid VassDirector, Renewable Energy Low Carbon Technologies
Legislative and policy drivers
EU Priorities- EU Energy Efficiency Directive
- Obligation on each Member State to set an indicative national energy efficiency target
Scottish Government Targets
- Climate Change (Scotland) Act 2009– Reduce energy demand by 12% by 2020; – Source 11% of heat demand from renewables by 2020;
Draft Heat Generation Policy Statement Targets– 40,000 more homes to be connected to District Heating– 1.5TWh of heat delivered by District heating by 2020 (domestic and non-domestic properties)
Scottish Planning Policy– National Planning Framework 3 - Work ongoing with local authorities to build national and local
authority heat maps into development plans.
Reducing Costs & Economic Opportunities
• Scottish Enterprise paper- Heat Recovery: sector opportunities for sustainable growth in Scotland
• Heat Recovery:– Waste heat recovery– Renewable heat from geothermal and ambient heat sources
• Economic opportunities of scale for industry from excess heat reused :
(a) on site for industrial symbiosis
(b) on site or off site for potential district heating networks
Why focus on Low Carbon Markets?
Scottish low carbon: 78,000 jobs, £10.1bn
market. Global market £3.4 trillion.
‘Low carbon’ growing faster than rest of the
economy
Innovative firms grow twice as fast
Low carbon SME’s nearly twice as likely to export
SE Low Carbon Priorities
• Offshore Wind• Wave and Tidal• Carbon Capture Storage• Smart Mobility• Sustainable Construction• Water and Wastewater
• Low Carbon Heat• Resource Efficiency• Circular Economy• Smart Technologies
– Industrial Biotechnology– Smart production – (advanced engineering)– Environmental monitoring
& Sensors– Smart grids & Storage
Analysis:•Industry Capability Analysis•International Market Survey•Supply Chain Analysis
Future Direction:•Heat Workshop on 27th October•Low Carbon Heat International Showcase 18th November•Development of New International Operating Plan•Identification of further support required
Realising Economic Potential
Company Capability Initial Analysis Research
• Purpose: To identify market opportunities arising from the global growth in demand for related goods, services and technologies (in low carbon heating / cooling) and to assess the capabilities of firms in Scotland to exploit these opportunities
• We Identified 225 low carbon heating and cooling companies, 72 of which completed the survey, equivalent to 32% return rate
• Majority of the companies were involved in design and installation of equipment although there was also a significant manufacturing base
• Heat recovery, storage, heat pumps, passive heating and cooling, biofuels and fuel cell companies present.
• Strong core of companies in the heat control, sensors and monitoring areas
• Companies in solar and biomass tended to be predominantly installation
Low Carbon Heat International Showcase18 – 19 November 2014
Event, 9-6.30pm, 18 Nov 2014 – Sheraton Hotel, Edinburgh• B2B matchmaking (pre-arranged networking)• Exhibition• Seminars• Drinks reception• International delegations – Sweden, DenmarkSite visits, 19 Nov 2014 – Central Belt
For suppliers, customers (facilities managers), international delegates, others supporting development of low carbon heat sector
