Arch Henderson were commissioned by the project funders to develop the masterplan for the regeneration of a coastal industrial site in western Scotland.

The masterplan included reusing a disused heavy industrial site and adjacent agricultural land for light industrial purposes as well as organic farming.

One of the key aims of the masterplan was to deliver a sustainable business with low carbon energy sources and to pilot the use of innovative and emerging energy technologies.

Our Role:

ITPEnergised worked with the main anchor tenant to identify and evaluate low and zero carbon energy options for the site. The feasibility assessment considered the potential for a number of technologies including;

• Gas fired CHP
• Wave
• Tidal
• Hydro
• Wind
• Solar PV
• Solar thermal
• Fuel cells; central or decentralised
• Energy from Waste
• Energy storage
• Biomass and/or Biomass CHP
• Heat pumps
• Geothermal
• Absorption cooling

The findings of the evaluations were presented in a review report which considered each technology in the context of criteria including;

• Benefits
• Barriers
• Incentives available
• Technology maturity/risk
• Supply chain maturity and after sales support
• High level costs and typical ROI
