District heating
Ramboll introducing low carbon energy infrastructure in Edinburgh
The development site comprises Edinburgh Airport, the Royal Highland Showground and a large area of land identified for development, known as Edinburgh International Business Gateway.
"This is a high profile site in Scotland’s capital, and there are ambitious plans for creating a major mixed use development with sustainable energy as a key feature. The new business gateway is expected to grow rapidly, and our early involvement with the developers gives us the chance to create a vision for a major element of Scotland’s economic infrastructure," says Paul Steen, Project Manager at Ramboll.
Developing an energy masterplan
The feasibility study represents the first step in assessing low carbon technology options to create an energy masterplan for the site. The study is due to be completed by mid September and involves a multi-disciplinary team of engineers from UK and Denmark. Ramboll was selected principally because of our recognised experience of designing and operating low and zero carbon energy systems.
Background
The Scottish Government has set a challenging target to grow the renewable heat sector from around 3% to 11% by 2020. They have identified that district heating will fill a key role in meeting that target. Ramboll is having ongoing discussions with major players in the district heating sector in Scotland.
