The National Trust – Fit for the Future?
Having already achieved 46% energy saving in just under two years where do we go next? The National Trust is setting itself some ambitious targets on efficiency and generation in what are perceived as ‘hard to treat’ properties. But there is always room for improvement. By 2015 the organisation is hoping to generate all of its power needs from its properties but also to have achieved significant energy, cost and carbon savings. The organisation has now trialled, evaluated and developed many renewable systems, cultural approaches and management shifts to energy and this is resulting in some significant savings but this only the start. |
Keith Jones, Environmental Practices Adviser - National Trust |
| 13:40 |
The integration of Renewable Technology in Existing Buildings
The Carbon Trust in partnership with Gwynedd County Council has completed a recent study to assess the potential for carbon reduction through the integration of renewable technology in existing buildings. The presentation will review the findings of this study, the assessment criteria and consider how this approach may be replicated for other organisations. |
Paul Webber, Director – ARUP Cardiff |
| 13:55 |
On-site renewable energy from waste through anaerobic digestion
The trend of rising waste disposal and energy costs looks set to continue for the foreseeable future. Therefore the use of waste to generate renewable energy on-site is becoming more attractive to large manufacturing organisations. This presentation will walk through the development of the 22,000 tonne per annum, 500kW capacity biogas project at Premier Foods, RF Brookes factory at Rogerstone, the technical process employed on site, and the tangible and intangible client benefits that have been realised by the projects implementation.

Workshop 2 – Making Innovation Work - what's coming and how quickly can it help reduce carbon emissions?
When your low carbon journey is well underway, the use of new, innovative Low Carbon Technologies will be the next part of the route. Businesses and the public sector have a role in getting new technologies to market and need to place some smart, early bets on the future. We examine the challenges facing low carbon innovators and discuss a number of companies and how they are getting their new products to market. |
