… the energy efficiency of Fife’s buildings, assets and infrastructure to reduce energy consumption, carbon emissions and bills. Low carbon energy Climate Fife projects seek to decarbonise the heat and power generated and used in Fife. Local generation will create jobs and support the local economy. Generating more electricity locally via biomass, wind, wave, hydro and solar power, will reduce…

… gases) - carbon sequestration. Climate Fife will be implemented through eight themes, under which we hope hundreds of projects will be delivered with communities, and public and private sector partners across Fife. Themes of work Adaptation Energy efficiency Low carbon energy Move, store & transform energy Sustainable transport Carbon sequestration Resource efficiency…

… and partnerships. This is a cross-cutting theme and encompasses a wide variety of projects. Energy efficiency Energy efficiency is one of the most cost-effective ways of reducing costs and carbon emissions simultaneously. Typical energy efficiency measures include retrofitting properties with better insulation, installing more efficient space and water heating systems. Climate Fife projects will increase…

… traditional financial metrics and payback calculations. New financial models are needed to support climate action. Fife will investigate and deliver innovative options to financially support Climate Fife actions. Housing Deliver energy efficiency measures across housing within Fife. Engage with housing sector to identify opportunities and challenges so optimum technical solutions are applied. Prepare…

… transmission and distribution losses. Generating heat locally will allow Fife to make best use of local resources; heat from biomass, (including wood and agricultural waste products); heat from air-source, water-source and ground-source heat pumps or waste heat from industrial processes. Move, store and transform energy Climate Fife projects will support an efficient ‘whole energy systems’ approach…
