Scotland’s Low Carbon Heat Ambitions

The Scottish Government has set ambitious targets to reduce overall energy demand,reduce carbon dioxide emissions and increase the amount of heat generated from renewablesources:

Substantial domestic economic opportunity Help Scotland to develop a resilient, sustainable low carbon economy

11% of heat demand to come from renewable sources (non-electrical) by 2020

1.5TWh of heat demand and 40,000 homes connected to a district heating scheme by 2020

12% energy reduction target 202042% C02 reduction target by 2020 80% C02 reduction target by 2050

Demand

Heat demand is currently at the core of Scotland’s energy system – it is the largest sourceof CO2 emissions at circa 24.8 Mt CO2e (47%) and the biggest element of energy use atcirca 80TWh (55%) per year.

The Opportunity - Scotland

In Scotland alone, the cost of replacing existing heating equipment between2010 and 2050 has been estimated at £100 billion.

Low carbon heating is a growing market in Scotland Significant opportunities in district heating, waste heat recovery, geothermal and heat

optimisation Scotland is moving towards an smart integrated energy systems that will drive technological

innovation and stimulate new economic opportunities

The Opportunity - Nationally and Internationally

The global heat technologies market is a large and growing opportunity, withcumulative turnover forecast to reach £308 billion by 2050.

Low carbon heating solutions are anticipated to taken an increasingly large share of thismarket as more and more nations seek to decarbonise their heating systems in a drive tomeet emissions targets.
