Fuel Availability

• North Sea oil & gas are running out and world oil stocks are falling– 2005 = 90/10– 2015 = 10/90

• Supplies controlled by unstable countries– Russia stance January 2009– LNG container piracy

• Ofgem – storage problem• Prices continue to rise……….

What is the Government doing?• UK Climate Change Act has committed us to:

– 80% reduction by 2050– 20% by 2020

• Dept of Energy & Climate Change says there will be a 10-fold increase in renewables by 2020

• Carrot– Grants

• Low Carbon Buildings Programme • Local authority e.g. Gloucs/S Gloucs/Stroud

– VAT at only 5%• Stick

– Energy Performance Certificates– Planning forcing renewable energy for new build

• Code for Sustainable Homes • Zero Carbon homes by 2016

Planning Permission

Solar hot water collectors become Permitted Development from 6th April 2008…..

……. i.e. no planning permission is required

if the property is not a listed building or is not in a conservation area

Grants

• Low Carbon Buildings Programme– www.lowcarbonbuildings.org– Fast approval process

– Eco2Solar take away hassle

– £400 for solar heating

• Local authority grants up to £1000

• Other sources?

Why Solar?• Enough energy is absorbed by the earth

every 30 minutes to power the entire planet for a year

• UK - 60% as much solar radiation as equator & similar to Spain

• Easiest to fit to new or existing buildings

Why Solar Heating?

• Heat responsible for 49% of energy consumed!– (Source: DECC October 2008)

• Easiest to fit/retro-fit • Can be hidden from sight• Provides up 70% domestic hot water• Highly efficient (93%)• High CO2 displacement at up to 880 kwh per square

metre per annum• Minimal maintenance – few moving parts• 30 year life

Where do I start?......

• Turn it off• Insulate…insulate...insulate• Tactical measures e.g. low energy lighting,

TRV’s• Renewables

– Solar heating– Solar PV– Biomass– Ground source heat pump– Horses for courses

The Ecotube®

www.eco2solar.co.uk

Indirect pressurised solar system with twin coil solar cylinder

www.eco2solar.co.uk

Indirect solar heating system to swimming pool using existing filtration plant

www.eco2solar.co.uk

Eco2solar Evacuated Tube Collectors

• 10 year guarantee• High quality - made in Germany• World class performance - up to 888 kWh per annum

(average 500kWh pa)• Versatility - the Ecotube can go flat on roofs and walls,

and the absorber plate angled on installation • High transmittance glass virtually transparent to solar

energy • Super-efficient selective coating on the absorber plate to

maximise the solar energy absorbed• Minimal heat loss due to “thermos” effect
