1 Resource Efficient Scotland Growth that doesn t cost the earth Low Carbon: High Savings? Claire Guerin, Key Account Manager - Public Sector

2 Agenda Resource Efficiency and a Circular Economy Preparing for Reuse Sustainable Procurement Carbon Management Plans Manage and report your organisations contribution to a low carbon, circular economy

3 Resource Efficiency & The Circular Economy

4 Resource Efficient Scotland Help businesses, public and third sectors save money by using energy, water and raw materials more efficiently. Funded by Scottish Government, delivered by Zero Waste Scotland. Delivered in partnership with stakeholders Public Sector Support: Practical: feasibility studies, options appraisals, develop the business case Strategic: pilot projects Workshops: advice, tools demonstration Online Training: energy, green champions

5 Low Carbon: High Savings 74 projects delivered in Demand led projects in: energy efficient lighting, boiler replacement, biomass, building energy management systems, internal waste management behaviour change. Identified savings of 4M Carbon savings of ~18,000 CO2e

6 Zero Waste Scotland Overall aims: Prevent waste Increase resource efficiency Enable a shift towards a more circular economy.

7 Resource Scarcity Impact of unsustainable use Developed nations are three-planet-living 300% global predicted increase in demand for natural resources by 2050 Critical resources mined from virgin sources are running out: Indium (LCD screens): <10 years; Silver (industrial catalyst): <30 years; Zinc (construction steels): <40 years. Mined in areas of water scarcity

8 Resource Scarcity Peak Oil Using 5.5 million barrels of oil/hr. Peak oil production by Oil costs will rise steadily as reserves decline.

10 Circular Economy Project Areas Innovative Product Design: Royal Society of the Arts Reuse of materials e.g. oil and gas decommissioning pipeline for carbon capture & storage Recovery of process materials: waste water (phosphorus), anaerobic digestion (soil enhancers), industry (separation of specialist alloys) Remanufacturing: establish baseline & intervention What about the Public Sector? Prepare for Reuse: Furniture & Electrical Appliances Sustainable Procurement

11 Preparing for Reuse

12 House

13 Reuse & Redeployment of Decommissioned Mobile Assets Re-use and redeployment of furniture, textiles and small electrical equipment Aim: to create tools and supporting guidance for the development of a register of mobile assets and improve data capture Phase 1: Modify asset tracking software used on a tablet Phase 2: 3 student placements in 3 large hospitals Phase 3: Create a route map and guidance document by Jan-Feb 2014

14 Preparing for Reuse: Strategic Work Regional repair and reuse hubs Feasibility & business case Pilot programme Development & roll out of Revolve accreditation: Can donate or buy refurbished What are the benefits to you? Support business development of 3 rd sector Consumer confidence - assurance of quality Community benefits employment & training Reuse helpline householders

15 Sustainable Procurement

16 Procurement: Upcoming Projects Evaluation of Marrakech sustainable procurement training. Work with Scottish Government & key stakeholders to review Procurement Reform Bill Statutory Guidance components that relate to resource efficiency & circular economy. Engagement events to embed Procurement Guidance. Targeted assistance for public sector. Identify and support pilot projects.

17 Procurement E-learning Modules

18 Facilities Management Procurement Tool Aim: to assist organisations with realising cost and material savings by improving resource efficiency of FM services. Toolkit: information and guidance; templates and model wording; and example Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). Procurement of the following services: Maintenance; Catering and Food Services; Furnishing Services; Waste Management Services; Uniform & Laundry Services; and ICT Services.

22 Questions?

23 Carbon Management Plans

24 What is a Carbon Management Plan? Almost all Scottish Public Bodies have a Carbon Management Plan (~150) Key step to meet the Duties under the Climate Change (Scotland) Act Key components of a Carbon Management Plan: Carbon baseline [carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions] Carbon reduction target Project plan to meet target Governance and reporting

25 What are the pieces of the CMP jigsaw? BAU which direction are we going in? Drivers why are we going there? Targets where do we want to be? Baseline where are we now? Annual Carbon Footprints how far to go? Project Register map and directions Strategy how are we going to get there? Governance who is navigating & who is driving? Projects can we get there in time?

26 Your Carbon Management Plan Aim is for use, not shelf-filler Above all it s a manual for CM in your organisation relevant and bespoke Keep it simple (detail in appendices, graphics) Make it attractive & personal (graphics, photos) Consider what needs minimal or no regular updating Policy Drivers Baseline and (possibly) target and what does need regular/annual updating

27 CMP Circle of Life What may change in a year? Annual carbon footprint new year s data new emission factors Projects register level of completion of projects abandoned/superseded projects post implementation evaluation Financing changes to old source/deadlines for applications new sources BAU population/housing/estate changes; outsourcing Other reporting requirements Internal structures

28 Do you need to re-baseline? Baseline previously viewed as something that you calculated once 5 year plan each cycle needs a new baseline Baseline = best guess at the current time. Have things changed? Update to historical factors Relevant data emerged Increasing/decreasing estate (buildings/sites) because services are growing/shrinking Outsourcing operations to a third party Taking over responsibility for additional service delivery

29 CMP Circle of Life fitting in with other reporting Financial year end Beginning collation of CFP data JAN DEC FEB MAR APR Also: Waste data flow (quarterly) Carbon metric Internal reporting Audit Scotland MAY JUN JUL Annual Carbon Report Climate Change Declaration NOV OCT SEP AUG CRC reporting SG Public Sector Sustainability Reporting

30 Tools: Carbon Reduction Project List Tools and guidance to develop CMPs Tools: Carbon Footprint & Forecast /content/carbon-managementplans

31 What/Why develop a carbon reduction project list? One central record of all opportunities Reference list of old projects Live list of new projects Like data, it allows for analysis All project info in one location Helps keep track of projects (type, size, timescale etc) Helps you review/monitor historic, current and future carbon savings from projects Supports business case development

32 How does your current project list compare? Are you currently capturing all the project information? How is it being captured? Are you updating it on a regular basis? Are you keeping track/reviewing projects for success? What are the barriers to implementation?

33 Further Support To Develop and Implement your Carbon Management Plan

34 Technical Consultancy Support Support to review, update and develop your carbon management plan (co-funded) Waste minimisation and reuse action plans, green champions training (5-10 days support) Energy and water efficiency implementation support: feasibility studies, options appraisal, develop the business case Package of Support

35 Staff Engagement Lunchtime webinar - How to run staff engagement campaigns 26 th June 2014 Green Champions Training - a free one day workshop 24 th June 2014 in Glasgow or 25 th Jun 2014 in Edinburgh

36 Technical e-modules 4 sets of modules covering various aspects of energy management (technical level). Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning Building Fabric Decarbonisation of heat generation Heat Recovery Free, downloadable, web-based, available from September

37 Green Champions Training green-champions-training

38 Discussion: What could you do to contribute to the creation of a circular, low carbon economy? Keep your carbon management plan up-todate, regularly develop, review and implement projects from your register. Think before you buy could you repair and reuse? Leasing of equipment (warranty for repair) Buy refurbished or repaired goods Buy goods with recycled content When procuring goods always consider best achievable energy & water efficiency using life cycle costing
