The Key Driver for Change
• The Climate Change Act 2008 legally binds the UK to deliver its commitment
of 80% reduction of CO2 emissions by 2050
• Zero Carbon Policy for New Homes
• EU Renewable Energy Targets• Electricity Market Reform
• Presumption in Favour of Sustainable Development
• The Green Deal
• Feed-in Tariffs• Energy Bill

What does this mean for
Cambridgeshire?
• We need to find a way of dealing with rising fuel
prices.
• We need to find a way of responding to targets – and
the policy framework it offers. If we don’t we’ll find
investment and opportunities go elsewhere.
• We need to know what options are on the table
- how much energy will we need to generate,
- how much will we have to rely on energy efficiency and
- what investment, skills and resources do we have to
tackle these problems
• CRIF is Cambridgeshire’s attempt to deal with this in
an honest, sensible and transparent way.

28% of energy from renewables
in Cambridgeshire by 2030.
Currently 7%.

The CRIF Project
Given that doing nothing is not an option, the project is looking at our current and future energy requirements and asking the following:
• What options are available to us?
• What choices make sense for us in Cambridgeshire?

This means knowing:
1. How much renewable energy do we need to generate locally?
2. What and where are the best renewable resources (sun, wind,
biomass etc.)?
3. What are the most appropriate renewable energy technologies
for making best use of these available resources (solar panels, turbines, heat pumps, district heating, £/tCO2 etc.)?
4. How much these technologies cost and how are they paid for
(supply, installation, servicing, grants, subsidies, etc.)?
5. Who are probably the best people to lead in making things
happen (local communities, public or commercial sector etc.)?
It’s going to help us understand how to make the best use of the renewable energy resourcesavailable to us in South Cambs and in relation to the whole county.

What will the CRIF
give us?
• An evidence base on which informed decisions can be taken
• A menu of technology options from which Cambridgeshire will need to choose how to move forward
• A view from stakeholders on how they can invest and deliver in Cambridgeshire to support the low carbon economy

Zero Carbon
Zero Carbon policy could potentially increase the role of local authorities in delivering
low carbon growth.
Pathway to Zero Carbon Homes

Opportunities
Allowable Solutions – A range of on-,
near- or off-site measures to mitigate
the remaining regulated emissions.
The zero carbon policy introduced the concept of allowable solutions –
this creates the role for community energy funds
Carbon Compliance – the
level of CO2 reduction that
must be delivered through
on-site measures

Opportunities
• Take advantage of the feed in tariff (FIT) and other incentives
• Produce energy locally – less dependency on global markets to provide what you need
• Provide local benefits – rather than going global
• Provide local jobs

The process of doing this is starting to generate output…But reports, presentations and strategies about how we can have a more sustainable and secure energy future mean very little unless we’re:
� talking about them, � getting them into the mainstream, � making them normal, � drawing up village energy action plans, and � making them happen…
COMMUNICATION is everything…get people talking about
renewables…involve people…bring people on board…find the skills…mobilise communities…get the facts out…etc…
