Grangemouth biomass CHP plant •

200 MW thermal capacity – – –

•

120 MW electrical capacity

•

Capital investment ~£465m

•

300-500 construction jobs, 70 operational jobs

•

Feedstock – –

23% of Scotland's 2020 target large Ineos refinery demand Potential district heating network

~0.7 Mte pa wood pellets Existing global supply chain

Heat provision •

Strong interest expressed in the supply of 200 MWth of process steam

•

Potential for recovered heat from flue gases to feed a 19 MWth DH scheme

•

Heat provision on this scale is challenging – – – –

No national heat grid, dedicated heat networks required Substantial increase in capex to provide process steam Limited ability to diversify customer base Considerable regulatory uncertainty

Heat offtake is core to the project

9

Regulatory challenges

10

•

Scottish Government has confirmed ROS support for biomass CHP plants > 15 MWe

•

DECC has implemented RHI tariff degression, but not Enhanced Preliminary Accreditation

•

Biomass sustainability criteria announcements are expected Summer 2013

•

CHP Quality Assurance review, including Good Quality CHP definition, is expected Summer 2013

•

Indicative CfD strike prices, final CfD form and EMR Delivery plan are due July 2013

•

Regulatory certainty is required to allow projects to be financed

Going forward

11

•

Aiming to achieve stronger project definition

•

Immediate focus on heat provision

•

Fuel sourcing and logistics

•

Address section 36 and deemed planning conditions

•

Application for Investment Contract

•

Assess impact of forthcoming regulatory announcements

•

Challenge is to deliver a viable and financeable project

Realising Our Heat Vision For Scotland

The Scotch Whisky Industry’s Contribution 18 June 2013

Julie Hesketh-Laird Director of Operational and Technical Affairs Scotch Whisky Association

Scotch at a Glance Today our 101 malt and 7 grain distilleries generate:

• £4.3bn worth Scotch exported/annum (£135 a second) • Sent to 200+ markets worldwide • Scotland’s leading food and drink export • We account for a quarter of UK food and drink exports • 80% of Scottish food and drink exports

• Over £2bn investment announced

Scotch Whisky Industry Environmental Strategy - 2009 • Mitigate GHG emissions and increase energy efficiency • 20% primary energy requirements from non-fossil fuels by 2020 and 80% by 2050 • Manage water requirements effectively • By 2020: – 10% reduction in packaging weight – 40% packaging from recycled materials – all product packaging reusable or recyclable – no packaging operations waste to landfill

• Casks to be from oak from sustainable forests • Supply chain collaboration • Annual reporting

15

Drivers for Renewables - A bit more than just ‘PR’! - Consumer confidence - Industry environmental commitments/Scottish and UK Government ambitions - Compelling financial imperative - Shelter from uncertain energy prices - Managing security of supply - Long-term industry and environmental sustainability 16

Burn Stewart Deanston Distillery, Doune • On-site hydro on River Teith • 1,300,000kWh/annum • Drives distillery and exports to the national grid 17

Progress Against Energy Target Target: By 2020, 20% primary energy requirements will be derived from non-fossil fuel; with a target of 80% by 2050 2008: Non-fossil fuels = 3% total energy use 2010: Non-fossil fuels = 6% of total energy use 85% of energy demand is for heat 18

Helius CoRDe Combination of Rothes Distillers • JV of 7 distillers (16 malt distilleries) and Helius Energy • £60m investment • Under commissioning

• 6.25MW capacity to national grid • Liquid animal feed 19

AD Renewables in Scotch Whisky Diageo’s Dailuaine Malt Distillery bioenergy plant has proved AD in batch distilling processes The North British Distillery uses AD to fire its boilers Wm Grant & Sons’ Girvan Distillery uses AR to produce steam power and hot water for use on-site and electricity to export to the grid

Diageo’s Cameronbridge Distillery uses AD and biomass and aims to provide 98% of the thermal steam and 80% of the electricity for the site

Community Heating Schemes Morrison Bowmore Distillery on Islay provides heat to the local community swimming pool

The North British Distillery in Edinburgh sends its heat to the local Tynecastle High School

Pulteney Distillery in Wick is a key customer of the new Wick District Heating Scheme

Renewables Challenges • Perceptions – 76m litres new capacity on line – 20m additional litres planned • Financial challenges – Incentives – Scottish business rates evaluation

“Make it easier for companies to do the right thing” 22

Renewable Heat and Housing Associations Scottish Renewables, Perth 18th June David Stewart

Content • Fuel Poverty and housing association tenants • Drivers for investment in energy efficiency and renewables • Potential for renewable heating in social housing • Issues and challenges • Looking forward

Fuel poverty and housing associations • Most energy efficient housing in Scotland • Tenants on low income so vulnerable to fuel poverty • Improvements in housing (double glazing, insulation) • Inflation bursting fuel increases and lower incomes a major challenge

Drivers to invest in renewables • • • •

Fuel poverty and affordability Climate Change Energy Efficiency Standards for Social Housing Culture of investment, asset management and improvement

Potential for Renewable Heat • Rural – fuel poverty a greater issue, proximity to biomass • Less potential in urban areas but landlords may take a long term view on fuel prices • Potential for gas powered CHP/District Heating to be converted?

Issues and Challenges • Uncertainty about technology that is relatively new • Some negative experiences and horror stories – need for quality to give confidence • Importance of training and tenant engagement (Consumer Futures study) • Funding – high capital costs and complex funding packages

Ways forward/next steps • Quality control and certainty – Scottish Procurement’s Biomass Framework; CHPA’s planned Consumer Protection Scheme • Funding – domestic RHI vital for social landlords • Guidance and regulation – Energy Efficiency Standards for Social Housing, District Heating Action Plan, Renewable Energy Roadmap
