1 CARBON TRUST APPLIED RESEARCH OPEN CALL |
Environment related objective
|
To support low-carbon technologies that leads to environmental benefits.
2. Policy objectives
The purpose of the Carbon Trust Applied Research Open Call is the reduction of green house gas emissions with particular emphasis on reduction of emissions from UK sources. By supporting the development of low- carbon technology, the Carbon Trust aims to bridge the funding gap in the market caused by the presently existing lack of internalization of carbon costs. Carbon Trust funding will help to secure the funding continuum that is vital to the successful delivery to market of low carbon technologies. The purpose of the scheme is to support the United Kingdom and the European Community in meeting, as a minimum, their international commitments under the Kyoto Protocol.
The development of low- carbon technologies will lead to clear horizontal benefits. It will in particular lead to environmental benefits and simultaneously to increased levels of energy (carbon) efficiency for energy users. UK Energy use is evenly divided between buildings, industry and transport. Positive benefits flowing from the development and use of new low- carbon technology will therefore not be sector specific but accrue across all sectors. The development of low carbon technology will benefit a wide range of industries as well as society as a whole.

Environment related objective
|
To promote energy efficiency.
2. Policy objectives
Combined heat and power (CHP) is a low- carbon technology, which can be between 25 and 30% more efficient in primary energy usage than more traditional forms of secondary energy generation. The aim of the scheme is to encourage more usage of this type of power generation, which is currently at a competitive disadvantage due to the fact that it is significantly more expensive to produce power from CHP than from conventional power plants.
The EU Cogeneration Directive (2004/8/EC) came into force on 21 February 2004, allowing Member States until 21 February 2006 to transpose it into national law. The Directive places an obligation on Member States to ensure that support for CHP is based on useful heat demand and primary energy saving s. It sets out a methodology for assessing the energy efficiency of CHP schemes based on harmonized efficiency reference values for the separate production of heat and power.

12 LANDLORD'S ENERGY SAVING ALLOWANCE |
Environment related objective
|
To increase energy efficiency in residential properties.
2. Policy objectives
Increasing energy efficiency in residential property can make a significant contribution to reducing carbon emissions. There is a particular need for action targeted at the rented residential sector, since such properties produce more emissions than other homes. This reflects a market failure in the residential rented property sector, which discourages landlords from improving the energy efficiency of the properties that they let. There is a real incentive for a homeowner to improve the energy efficiency of their home, which does not exist for landlords.
