RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES IN A TRADITIONAL INDUSTRIAL AREA

Objetivo

A new energy study for the North East, initiated by the Northern Region Councils Association (NRCA), was launched on 4 February 1987. The study, which lasted for three years, aimed to take advantage of regional industrial experience and natural resources to promote a more rational use of energy usage which can contribute positively to economic restructuring.
THE APPROACH FOLLOWS TWO MAIN LINES :
* defining measures which can contribute to improving regional energy efficiency (i.e. the ratio of total primary energy consumption to regional GDP);
* examining more closely the prospects for developing renewable energies.
There has been significant collaboration with a number of EEC regions (Barcelona, Turin, Grenoble) giving the project a truly European dimension.
Assuming that energy prices remain at the relatively low level of the end of the 80s, the region's potential energy savings until 1995 have been estimated at 14% or 1,400,000 toe per year. Achieving this forecast would require an investment of UKL 500 million and could create 40,000 direct and indirect jobs both in and outside the region.
The target of 20% savings set by the European Commission and the British Government will only be achieved with the stimulus of another significant oil price rise.
ACTION PROPOSALS
Seventeen action proposals have been presented at the end of the study. These relate to combined heat/energy production (3), building insulation (7), use of coal for peak time power generation and gasification (2), wind energy (2), hydro-electricity (2) and urban heating (1). Each of these proposals has been assessed on the basis of four criteria: expected energy saving, job creation, environmental impact and economic feasibility.
Objectives have, where possible, been costed and quantitatively assessed, and "energy action groups" created. Their job is on-site implementation of the recommendations and more generally, encouraging better energy practice.
RENEWABLE ENERGY: A REALISTIC VISION
The authors of the earlier programme classified renewable energies into three groups:
* technologies which can be exploited without a change in market conditions (e.g. anaerobic digestion);
* those which could be competitive in the event of a reduction of costs or a sharp increase in the price of fossil energy (e.g. wind energy);
* those which can be envisaged only in the very long term (e.g. photovoltaics).
BUILDING ON EARLIER WORK
The present study is based on the results of earlier work. Starting with the data already available, new research has focused on three areas:
* updating existing information on energy supply and demand against the background of developments at national level;
* determining the scope of energy saving opportunities in the region;
* formulating and evaluating a certain number of recommendations to promote the rational use of energy.
