Climate Change
The Facts
• Climate change is a long-term
shift in the climate
• Our climate is changing at a rate
faster than what we have
experienced in all of human
history
• By burning fossil fuels for
electricity and other industries
we are releasing billions of tons
of carbon dioxide and changing
the climate
• Carbon dioxide acts like a
blanket, trapping the sun’s heat
around the planet
Climate Change
We can reduce our carbon dioxide emissions and slow
the rate of change
• AES Drax in Yorkshire is a coal-fired
power plant emits 22.8 million tonnes
ofCO2 annually – more than the 100
least-industrialised nations combined
• It provides 7% of Britain’s electrical
power
• Burning fossil fuels to turn steam
turbines and create electricity
accounts for a quarter of the world’s
greenhouse gas emissions, and coal
has the highest carbon content of all
fuels
Policy
• The Climate Change
(Scotland) Act 2009 sets
a target to reduce
greenhouse gas
emissions by at least
80% by 2050
• The Act also sets an
interim target of a
reduction of at least
42% by 2020
Heat
Need to decarbonise heat
as it accounts for 47% of
UK’s carbon dioxide
emissions and 60% of
average domestic energy
bills

Saving Strategy, DECC
(2009)
Renewables
The Renewables
Action Plan identifies
options to ensure at
least 20% of
Scotland's energy
comes from
renewables by 2020
What is Renewable Heat?
• Biomass
• Heat Pumps (ground,
air or water source)
• Waste biomass and
anaerobic digestion
(including biogas)
• Solar heating
• Geothermal heat
Renewable Heat
• Security of energy
supply
• Maximising economic
opportunities – up to
half a million
additional jobs might
be created in the UK
renewables sector
and its supply chains.
Renewable Heat
Renewable heat is
massively under
utilised
Why Woodfuel?
Economically attractive – how
much will it cost to heat an
average 3 bedroomed house?
Average Annual Cost
£4,500.00
£4,000.00
£3,500.00
£3,000.00
£2,500.00
£2,000.00
£1,500.00
£1,000.00

Renewable Heat Incentive
Financial support will:
• Increase access to
renewable heat
• Expand supply
chain and market
• Help bring down
costs
