Investing in Low Carbon/Energy Yet Doing The Right Thing & Earning Financial Benefits Workshop 3

1. Investing in Low Carbon/Energy Yet Doing The Right Thing & Earning Financial Benefits Workshop 3 1st March 2017 Tony Parton www.crplus.co.uk Contact our specialists today: Email: asinai@crplus.co.uk Tel: 07816 684801

2. Todays Approach This powerpoint is a taster of what can be covered and is applicable to housing schemes through to a Nickel Refinery Discuss with the group whats important to the group – Possibly use the word prompt Take one or two Example’s and see if we can form a Value Add Concept? Hopefully each of us may go away with a alueAdded Concept

3. What is Government Trying to Make Us Do With Selective Taxation? • Use Less Carbon • Use Renewable Energy • Use Smart Equipment – Not just to save consumption but to move its use to less “Peak Loading” times. Doing the Right Thing = Paying Less • We are looking at things that will cost (Assets) & getting the best from them. • >>>> Make Assets Pay Sustainably

4. Easy Words but Challenges Exist • Reducing Carbon through efficiency – This is the cheapest return on investment but traditionally is not seen as Core Business or essential. • Renewables – have their own challenges. • Incentive structures changing (PV & Wind) > Longer Paybacks • Technical Integration – can be expensive & Technical Skill Risk • Biomass – supply issues as well as poor turndown capability • Lower Carbon Technologies(CHP) – Electricity or Gas Led – what is best for me now & in 10-15 years. Technically linking to existing systems can produce conflicting requirements. • Capacity-Storage– Managing the Peaks & Troughs. Complex tariff structures. Bombarded with offers at the moment – what works for me. Do I invest, manage, etc. Will batteries last? UPS/Standby Generation – How do we link? Everything you Procure normally has a Carbon Impact

5. Project Hurdles - Managing the Risk Policy Changes Mature Technology Policy Change Impacts Vital to Successful Project Delivery is understanding what could change & what options are open ie build in Flexibility & Resilience

6. Technical Option – Energy Efficiency • Standard Measures – LED lighting is now standard, VSD’s where something can be turned down, look at your air movement (can you control to less flows, use more recirc and/or heat recover). • Energy Centre/Plant – Control of standby plant, O2 trim, etc. • Refurbishment – Opportunity to convert say heating to underfloor or heater batteries/exchangers to work off low temperature’s which allows the use of low grade heat, condensing boilers and Organic Rankine Cycle generators (ORC’s). 10-20yr Impact. • New Builds 20-50yr impact: • Your decisions have impacts for the • Well Being of Future Generations • = Life Cycle Costing Please Note: Peak Avoidance/Generation , Renewables & Storage are covered later.

7. Technical Option – Renewables • Electrical Renewables for Organisations – Well established for small sites eg Amazon: Kits £500-£1500 • Incentives reduced – mature. • Scalable – whats right for you! • Large schemes not normally avail- • able for small sites. They are there • own schemes. • Heat – Biomass – more suited to large, occupied buildings. Smaller buildings unless 24/7 tend to have spikey loads requiring storage to smooth. Specifying loads and range of operating conditions will decide what plant is used. • Heat & Power – Opportunity to increase boiler temperatures use an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) to generate electricity the lower grade heat is your heat source. • Alternative Energy: Gasifiers, AD and food conversion (Tidy Planet) also have their places.

8. Technical Option – Lower Carbon • Gas Fired CHP – Driven by price ratio of Elec:Gas, well established, Integration & Standby issues main issues. Options for integration that lowers Carbon further: Absorption Chilling • ORC’s • Create new outlets – sell low grade heat, setup a • green house (Link to your sustainable targets) • Heat Pumps – ideal when refurbishing • outlying buildings where integrated systems • are not viable. The performance ranges from • 1 unit in to 4 or 5 units of energy out (Cost • wise neutral with gas, beneficial v grid Carbon). • Split systems can cool in the summer.

9. Flavour of the Month – Storage • Heat Storage – Current commercial storage is high volume but is simple well known technology. Other LCSB events have introduced us to the possibilities in the near term of chemical based heat storage. In both situations what will be key is defining the operational ranges that exist now and in the future (Flexible & Resilient) • Electrical Storage – ideal when • refurbishing buildings where integrated systems • are possible. Batteries are becoming viable (Gov’t • Benefit in Kind) driving ULEV cars = Volume. • Use of Existing Assets – Sites have UPC and diesel standby generator sets. Why not use in the “Red Periods” • Integrating bill management, use of dead assets • and helps the country manage peak load requirements.

10. What Do You Want to Explore Today • Round the room –what is current for you? • Pick a couple of Techs from the list we have just through? – Maybe explore with facts and figures that mean something to you? • Open to ideas?
