12. Variety of Opportunities

14. Small Scale Renewables • RESCO supporting Birmingham Energy Savers project to develop local supply chain. • 200,000 houses by 2026 • Initial commitment of £100m of capital • install Efficiency and Renewables measures 10-20,000 houses • Supply Chain Opportunities and Employment is key objective

15. Roll out programme – 200,000 houses by 2026 Houses/pa End of BES 3 Year

16. Supply Chain - analyse the measures With thanks to Shap “Community Green Deal” and Urbed 16

17. Supply Chain – break down

18. What is Bio Energy? • UK generates millions of tonnes of organic waste each year • Bio Energy Processes • Anaerobic digestion- Biological processes to break down biomass producing CH4 and “digestate”

19. Bio Energy Supply Chain opportunities • Investors, financiers and developers   •  Manufacturers of materials, components and integrated systems   •  Construction industry and building trades   •  Landowners, farmers and growers •  Professional services sectors •  Waste industry •  Infrastructure engineers and many more

20. Bio-Energy – Variety of Opportunities
