DEVELOPING A LOW CARBON FUTURE IN THE TEES VALLEY

Mark Lewis April 2016


LOW CARBON TARGETS

• UK Carbon Budgets – 50% reduction by 2025 from 1990 levels – 80% reduction by 2050 from 1990 levels

• European Commission /Union Targets – 20/20/20 Target

• 20% reduction, 20% Renewables, 20% more efficient

– Oct 2014 - binding EU target of an at least 40% reduction in GHG emissions by 2030 compared to 1990.

OPTIONS AND OPPORTUNITIES

Committee on Climate Change view – Energy efficiency improvement – Energy-intensive industry

• Industrial carbon capture and storage (CCS).

– Low-carbon heat and use of bioenergy.

– Reduced emissions from power, agriculture

3


TEESSIDE SITUATION• Tees Valley is

one of highest per capita emitters in UK – Concentration of

EII – Teesside

Collective

TEESSIDE SITUATION 2• Increasing consumer pressure on

manufacturing • Biomass & EFW Power, Biofuels,

Biologics and Bioprocessing skills & assets

• SEP supports a reduced carbon footprint – ERDF priorities & funding

6


ERDF & THE TEES VALLEY• Production and distribution of energy

derived from renewable resources. • Energy efficiency, smart energy

management and renewable energy use in public infrastructure, including in public buildings, and in the housing sector.

• Low-carbon strategies for all types of territories, in particular for urban areas

• Research and innovation in, and adoption of, low-carbon technologies.
