Report identifies long-term opportunities in UK environmental consultancy market

A new report from Environment Analyst concludes that the UK environmental consultancy sector grew by 9% in 2008 to reach a turnover of £1.46 billion. This marks a deceleration on the average 13% per annum growth of the previous four years (2004-07).

Consultancy is inherently a lagging indicator of economic cycles due to work signed off in the pipeline months in advance, so it was not until the last few months of 2008 when the tide turned and environmental consultancies were suddenly struggling to keep all of their staff busy. It was during this period of uncertainty that Environment Analyst conducted its first annual benchmark survey of firms active in the sector.

The final report – Market Assessment of the UK Environmental Consulting Sector 2009 – forecasts that the overall market will be flat this year, growing by low single digits at best, but still outperforming the economy as a whole and related areas such as management consulting.

Environmental consultancy disciplines with strong underlying regulatory and political drivers – such as climate change & energy and waste management – are expected to be most resilient. Demand from both the traditional energy sector (oil, gas and nuclear) and renewables industry are also still growing strongly for the environmental consultancy market as a whole. There is also healthy growth in government-funded projects, with the public sector accounting for just under a third of total market revenues in 2008.

Export commodity

Another positive finding is that UK environmental consultancy expertise is very much in demand globally, with overseas work and projects for international clients accounting around a quarter of our survey sample’s total UK revenues. Extrapolating these figures to the market as a whole would mean international work brings in revenues of some £350 million on top of UK-sourced contracts.

The report’s author, Environment Analyst Editor Liz Trew comments: “British environmental consultancies have developed world-leading expertise in areas such as climate change and carbon management and are successfully exporting their services. Our survey shows that most are hoping to win more overseas work over the coming months to help offset the softening domestic market – with the Middle East emerging as having the best growth prospects for these firms globally in spite of the region’s recent problems.”

Recession impacts

Of the twelve disciplines which Environment Analyst considers to form the core of the environmental consultancy market, the strongest performers in 2008 were climate change & energy and ecological/landscape services – both growing in excess of 20%. Growth in revenues from environmental impact assessment (EIA) and related services also increased above the overall market rate last year, but will be inevitably curtailed in 2009 due to a slowdown in the pipeline of development support work.

The survey findings confirm that contaminated land, the biggest single income stream for environmental consultancies (at 16% of total market revenues), has taken the biggest hit from the economic downturn of all the major service areas. Around half of the consultancies surveyed were experiencing contracting revenues from this field of work at the time of the survey, while revenues were flat for a further 20%.

Liz Trew comments: “Overall, the contaminated land segment continued to grow by a respectable 7% in 2008 – largely thanks to projects completed in the first half of the year – but is set to fall sharply this year as brownfield development in the commercial sector has effectively ground to a halt in many areas.”

A cutback in discretionary spend among specific client sectors is also evident from the survey responses. Two thirds of consultancies reported a reduction in revenues from the construction/property sector – with one in ten suffering a drop of 15% or more. Half of consultancies also saw a decline in project spend coming from financial & professional organisations as the banking sector crisis accelerated from the middle of 2008. Revenues from the manufacturing industry were also down or flat for 75% of consultancies.

Peterborough City Council to back £250m incinerator

A £250 million plan to burn rubbish using the latest “green” technology has been given vital backing.

However, planning officers, while broadly in favour of the plan, said more information was needed in vital areas, including road access issues, safety concerns regarding the proximity to gas pipelines, and justification on developing the site in the countryside close to Flag Fen.

Councillor David Harrington said: “We are almost 10 years into the 21st century and have missed out on a whole generation of technology, including nuclear power, already. We need to support this scheme.”

Councillor Charles Swift said: “We should support this project unanimously and I hope the cabinet takes on board our comments.”

Speaking in favour of the scheme, Richard Olive, who is a member of Friends of the Earth, added: “I believe we have now run out of time to eliminate climate change and we have to embrace this technology.”

However, two members of the public stood up to express concerns about potential health problems from emissions.

Mr Donne Buck, of Gildenburgh Avenue, Eastfield, Peterborough, said: “A great number of vulnerable children would be subject to the discharge that would come from the chimneys and other airborne toxins.”

Fiona Radic, who is a member of the Green Party, added: “We have a landfill problem; soon we will have a sky-filled problem.”

Today, managing director of PREL Chris Williams said: “We felt that last night’s meeting was a great success.

“We will work night and day in the coming weeks to ensure that the information and clarification asked for on matters such as transport and highways, gas and environmental detail are provided in full.

“Only in working together can Peterborough realise its goal to become the environmental capital of the UK.”

Despite agreeing to the energy park proposals, councillors were still in favour of £38 million plans for a council incinerator, which would be built just 400 yards from the PREL site.

 

 

Heat and power must be decarbonised

Electricity and heat generation must be completely decarbonised, according to the Committee on Climate Change (CCC).

The independent group has called for a higher greenhouse gas reduction target and claimed that to reach it only sources of heat and power that don’t emit carbon must be used.

In a letter to Ed Miliband, the newly installed secretary of state for energy and climate change, the CCC urged the raising of the emissions reduction target from 60 per cent to 80 per cent by 2050.

To achieve that goal and help reduce the chances of a rise in global temperatures by two degrees centigrade, electricity would have to come from clean sources, the CCC claimed.

Lord Turner of Ecchinswell, the committee chairman, told the Guardian: "We have to almost totally decarbonise the power sector by 2030, well before 2050."

The report called for the replacement of fossil fuel burning plants with renewables, nuclear power and plants fitted with carbon capture and storage technology.

Scotland has already adopted the higher 80 per cent target and plans to renewably source 20 per cent of all energy including electricity, heat and transport.

Energy gap report ‘overstated’

A report which claims severe power outages could affect England in five years has been rejected by the government.

The report from the pro-nuclear Fells Associates claims that supply of electricity will simply not be sufficient for future needs and that combating climate change should be put on the back boiler until energy security has been guaranteed.

According to the authors, a third of the UK’s generation capacity will be taken offline by 2020 without new sources being put in place.

Co-author Candida Whitmill said: "Security of supply now takes priority over everything, even climate change."

However energy secretary John Hutton said the report was overblown.

He said: "Ian Fells overstates the risk of the energy gap, but he also understates what the government’s already doing to secure our future supplies and increase our energy independence - such as a tenfold increase in renewables, a renaissance of nuclear energy in the UK, and backing clean coal technology."

Renewable energy supply chains focus of new office

Renewable energy equipment supply chains will be the focus of a new government office created by a manufacturing strategy announced yesterday to help the manufacturing sector "seize the opportunities of the low carbon economy".

The new strategy, New Challenges, New Opportunities, pledges £150 million in medium term support to the manufacturing sector.

A newly created Office for Renewable Energy Deployment will focus on improving the renewable energy equipment supply chain, as will a low carbon industrial strategy to be announced next year.

Launching the new strategy business minister John Hutton said: "We need to recognise that the global landscape is changing so we can help UK manufacturers stay ahead of the game. I want the UK to be at the forefront of opportunities opened up by the move towards a low carbon economy.

"With the right support in place, we can grow our nuclear and renewable industries to become world-leaders in green technologies, supporting hundreds of thousands of "green collar jobs’."

The new strategy is also focusing on boosting skills in the sector and improving its image as an interesting area to work in.

IEA: Clean energy needs more R&D

More money should be allocated for researching low carbon energy than nuclear power, the International Energy Agency has told the EU.

In a review which by and large praised the EU’s climate change policies and leadership, the Paris-based agency called for more investment in research and development for low carbon technologies.

The review pointed to the 2007 Strategic Energy Technology Plan, which allocated 40 per cent of the £4.14 billion destined for energy research and development by 2013 to nuclear power.

"It will be important for the achievement of the EU climate change targets that this funding allocation is revised at the earliest possible opportunity, and that funding for non-nuclear energy research and development is increased significantly," said the agency, adding that nuclear technologies would only become useful after 2050

The report also notes that there is still more investment in the IT sector, where £7.31 billion will be spent, than in clean energy.

Wind car aims to break record

A carbon-neutral wind-powered vehicle backed by the man who put wind turbines in Norfolk could break a world land-speed record.

Dale Vince, managing director of Ecotricity, which has two turbines at Swaffham and engineer Richard Jenkins are to try to go faster than 116.7mph in their vehicle – the Greenbird.

"Cars of the future won’t be running on fossil fuels, they will be running on renewable sources of energy like the wind. And with today’s technology we can achieve incredible speeds, using only wind power," Mr Vince told the Eastern Daily Press.

The design of the Greenbird’s vertical sail, which mirrors an aircraft’s wing, could enable the vehicle to travel at up to six times the speed of the wind.

A spokesman for the team said that unseasonal weather in Western Australia, where the attempt will take place, had delayed initial trials but that they expected to try to break the record next week.

Ecotricity, generates 24.1 per cent of its electricity from renewables, with similar amounts coming from coal, natural gas and nuclear power.

In October 2007 Prime Minister Helen Clark and Energy Minister David Parker launched the New Zealand Energy Strategy, which sets out the direction of New Zealand’s energy system to 2050.

The Strategy sets out the government’s vision and action plan for a sustainable, low emissions energy system. Launched with its companion document, the New Zealand Energy Efficiency and Conservation Strategy, the two strategies form the core of the energy sector’s response to climate change, which will contribute substantially to New Zealand’s sustainable future.

Some of the key initiatives within the energy strategy include:

·          target of 90% of generated electricity from renewable energy sources by 2025, as announced with the emissions trading scheme, which will mean keeping electricity prices lower than from electricity using fossil fuels that will attract emissions prices

·          considering regulatory options through the Electricity Act to limit new fossil fuel base-load generation over the next ten years

·          preparing a national policy statement on renewable energy to provide guidance to local authorities

·          a target to halve domestic transport emissions per capita by 2040, which will be assisted by increasing the use of renewable energy from biofuels and electricity to power vehicles

·          a range of energy efficiency and renewable energy initiatives, as outlined in the New Zealand Energy Efficiency and Conservation Strategy

·          ensuring New Zealand is well placed to take up opportunities provided by emerging low carbon technologies when they are available, cost effective and applicable to New Zealand.

 

 

Funding for marine energy generation trials

Generating energy from waves or tides around New Zealand came a step closer in October 2007, with the Government offering funding to set up generating devices. Generating energy from waves or tides around New Zealand comes a step closer today, with the Government offering funding to set up generating devices. Energy Minister David Parker has called for applications from interested parties for funding from the Marine Energy Deployment Fund, which will be making grants of up to $2m (£750k) a year for the next four years.

Overseas experience to date indicates that there is very little impact on marine life, but that is one of the areas that will be closely monitored in the New Zealand trials. Any projects seeking government support through the fund will have to obtain resource consents, and that process will provide an opportunity to consider any potential impacts on fishing, recreational activities or other community interests.

The Marine Energy Deployment Fund is contestable, which means individuals or organisations will have to apply for funding. Applications will be assessed by an expert panel, with funding offered to projects that best meet a number of criteria. Applicants will be expected to match any grants with commercial investment. Applications for the first funding round closed in February 2008 with grants made in May 2008. The first devices are expected to be deployed and operating by 2010. Full details of the Marine Energy Deployment Fund including the criteria and guidelines for applicants are available on the EECA website www.eeca.govt.nz/renewable-energy/marine.html

 

Feb 15, 2008: An international panel of renewable energy and business experts has been appointed to evaluate applications for funding to develop marine energy in New Zealand. The government will be making grants of up to $2m a year for the next four years, through the Marine Energy Deployment Fund. Applications for the first funding round close at the end of February. Energy Minister David Parker today announced the panel of five international experts:

·          Henry Jeffrey, University of Edinburgh (UK) - joint author of the UK Roadmap for marine renewable energy and expert member of the peer review panel for Norwegian Energy marine energy research proposals.

·          Burt Hamner, Puget Sound Tidal Power (USA) - Lead contractor for the largest tidal power feasibility study in the USA.

·          PB Power, program management, engineering and construction management services (NZ/UK) - this international consultancy will be represented on the panel by New Zealand-based engineer Roumen Shipokov who will draw on their team of technical experts.

·          Dr Ed Hudson, E-Dec Ltd (NZ) - Previous roles have included Director of Marlborough Electric Ltd, Deputy Chairman of the Commerce Commission and a Partner at KPMG.

·          Gerry Te Kapa Coates, Wise Analysis Ltd (NZ) - Chair of the New Zealand Wind Energy Assn, board member of the NZ Centre for Advanced Engineering and Representative (board member) on Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu.

 

Marine energy technologies are under development in a number of countries but most technologies are not yet mature. The first offshore commercial ‘wave farm’, utilising a Scottish wave device called Pelamis, will be operating before the end of 2008. The first full-scale trial of a tidal energy device is being conducted in Northern Ireland. The UK Government forecasts that there will be over 100 mW of operational marine energy devices by 2009.

 

The UK, Ireland, Portugal and Denmark are currently investing significantly in marine energy with the UK being the current leader in technology developments. Canada, the United States and Australia all have active projects to develop marine energy technologies and particular sites.

 

Projects

New Zealand has to date invested very little in marine energy but its natural resource advantage could make marine energy a significant contributor to future energy supply. Possibly as much as 20% of New Zealand’s electricity could be generated from marine energy sources. New Zealand’s tides sweep anticlockwise around our coast roughly twice a day, but give only a small rise and fall (2 - 3 m). Consequently, tidal currents have lower velocities than in other countries and tidal currents are patchily distributed around New Zealand. Offshore islands, passages and seabed irregularities can provide a focussing mechanism and there are some areas of significant tidal current flow, for example, Cook Strait. There are currently fourteen active wave and tidal energy projects in New Zealand. All are in the early stages, all are relatively small. There are two publicly announced

tidal projects, and two wave projects, one developing a wave device and a second seeking to import an overseas technology.

 

 

New Zealand Energy Quarterly launched

The New Zealand Energy Quarterly, replaces Statistics New Zealand’s Energy Statistics Hot Off The Press, and provides quarterly energy statistics on the supply of major fuels, pricing information and greenhouse gas emissions. Information to the end of the December quarter of 2007 includes:

·          Crude oil production reaching a record high for New Zealand due to the Tui oil field coming on line, boosting oil exports by almost four times compared with the December 2006 quarter.

·          Annual gas production rising almost ten percent compared with 2006, largely due to Pohokura coming on line.

·          New Zealand’s installed wind capacity for electricity generation almost doubling in 2007.

·          A reduction in coal consumption for electricity generation due to the commissioning of Genesis Energy’s e3p efficient gas-fired generation facility. This reduction in coal use for electricity generation helped reduce greenhouse emissions from electricity generation.

·          While petrol and diesel prices increased five and 12 per cent respectively during the December 2007 quarter, New Zealand’s strong dollar, especially against the US dollar, continued to shelter motorists from the full impact of high international oil prices.

The New Zealand Energy Quarterly is free to download or subscribe from www.med.govt.nz/energy/nzeq/. The Ministry also provides up-to-date information via its energy webpages at www.med.govt.nz/energy/data/.

 

 

June 2008 - New Zealand Biofuel

NZBMA’s members are further concerned the Ministry of Economic Development is recommending relaxing proposed regulations for NZ biofuel quality standards, specifically to allow entry for the US product (frequently soy-based biodiesel). This raises the second issue for the NZBMA, concern about the quality and type of biofuels to be used by oil companies to satisfy the proposed biofuels sales obligations in New Zealand.  Mr Posnett says international research has shown that some biofuels do not improve greenhouse gas emissions levels. It is also known that the use of food crops for fuel has caused a dramatic price hike for grains and oils. The NZBMA wants the quality standards proposed and testing systems enshrined in biofuels legislation to ensure biofuels at the pump in New Zealand are credible for consumers and actually address climate change issues. “Surely New Zealand, with its growing international reputation for leading climate change and renewable energy solutions should not seek easier options that may tarnish its position,” Mr Posnett says. “This is more particularly so because NZ is blessed with raw material that converts to the best environment biofuel commercially available.”

National Renewable Energy Blueprint

BERR News Release (2008/131), 26 June 2008

 

A national renewable energy blueprint designed to slash carbon emissions dramatically, reduce the UK’s dependency on oil and gas and claim a valuable share of global green business opportunity was set out by Business Secretary John Hutton today. Mr Hutton outlined proposals to enable the UK to meet its proposed 15% renewable energy target by 2020, an increase of 1,000% on current levels. This is likely to include up to a third of electricity coming from renewables as well as significant increases in the use of renewable forms of heat and transport fuels.

 

Speaking alongside the Prime Minister at the Government’s Low Carbon Economy Summit on London’s South Bank, Mr Hutton said: “We are opening a new chapter in Britain’s history as a nation of enterprise and innovation, moving from the old, carbon intensive economy of the industrial revolution to the new low carbon technologies of the 21st century. “This vast expansion of renewable energy marks an important moment in this journey and, alongside our plans for new nuclear and clean coal, will play a crucial role in tackling climate change and reducing our dependency on oil and gas.

“We must make the most rapid progress possible to becoming a cleaner, greener economy and we will strive to make these changes in the most effective way possible, with the least cost to consumers.

“We will also maximise the economic benefit for the UK by creating a new generation of green collar jobs and making the most of our strengths as one of the world’s largest manufacturing economies; a world class centre of energy expertise and a leading location for inward investment.”

 

New NOP polling published by the Department for Business today shows broad public support for renewable energy:

·          84% of people favour the use of renewable energy.

·          64% would be happy to live within 5km of a wind power development.

 

The Renewable Energy Strategy consultation published today builds on existing measures, and includes proposals for:

·          Extending and raising the level of the Renewables Obligation to encourage 30-35% of our electricity to come from renewable sources by 2020;

·          Introducing a new financial incentive mechanism to encourage a very large increase in renewable heat, including in homes and other buildings;

·          Extending more effective financial support for heat and electricity microgeneration technologies in homes and other buildings, potentially through a feed-in tariff;

·          Helping the planning system to deliver, by agreeing a clear deployment strategy at regional level similar to the approach established for housing;

·          Ensuring appropriate incentives for new electricity grid infrastructure and removing access to the transmission grid as a barrier to renewable deployment;

·          Exploiting the full potential of energy from waste by considering further restrictions on landfilling biomass, as far as is practical;

·          Requiring all biofuels to meet strict sustainability criteria to limit adverse impacts on food prices, and other social and environmental concerns;

·          Encouraging the development of new renewable technologies by ensuring effective support particularly where the UK has the potential to be a market leader;

·          Maximising the benefits for UK business by providing a clear long-term policy framework, working with Regional Development Agencies to tackle blockages, considering support for specific technologies and addressing skills shortages.

·          We estimate that the expansion in renewable energy implied by the 15% target could:

·          achieve carbon savings of around 20 million tonnes of CO2 in 2020 (representing a cumulative CO2 saving of up to 900 MtCO2 between now and 2030). These would be additional to those we expect to be achieved from within the EU ETS as a result of the renewable energy target, which may be around 75MtCO2 in 2020 (1400 MtCO2 cumulative to 2030).

·          help security of energy supply and reduce gas imports by between 12-16% in 2020 - with increasing benefits as these become more scarce and expensive. At the same time, there will be a need for significant investment in non-renewable back-up generation given the largely intermittent nature of renewable generation.

·          provide significant business opportunities - there may be in the order of 160,000 jobs created in the UK and beyond, and we will want to maximise the extent that these go to UK business by providing a clear, long-term policy framework against which companies can invest, especially key opportunities arising out of research, innovation and development by using the UK’s specific geographical advantages such as wave and tidal power.

 

Responses to the Renewable Energy Strategy consultation are invited by 26 September 2008. A final strategy is expected to be in place by spring 2009.

 

The energy regulator Ofgem will have an increasingly important role to play in helping reach our renewables target.

·          Draft revised Guidance to Ofgem on social and environmental issues is also published for consultation today by the Department for Business. This includes Guidance on the development of energy networks, and connection to them, in the light of the renewables target.

·          The Department for Business and Ofgem have also today published a new package of measures to speed up grid connections for renewable energy projects. A backlog of around 10GW of wind energy at various stages of development is currently waiting in the queue for grid connection. The recommendations follow a year long Transmission Access Review and include steps to accelerate deployment in the short-term, and measures to incentivise the timely delivery of essential new infrastructure. Initial measures could lead to 1GW of wind being connected within two years.

 

Notes for editors

 

1.       Last year the UK, along with other EU member states, agreed to a binding target stating that 20% of the EU’s energy consumption must come from renewable sources by 2020. The European Commission has proposed the UK’s contribution to this should increase the share of renewables in our energy mix from 1.5% in 2006 (most recent data) to 15% in 2020.

 

2.       In 2000 we set ourselves a target for 10% of our electricity to come from renewable sources by 2010, and in 2003 announced our aspiration to double that level by 2020. Under these commitments we have tripled electricity from renewables in the last 5 years. Our key mechanism for delivering this growth has been the Renewables Obligation, which requires electricity suppliers to source a prescribed and increasing proportion of their electricity from renewable sources. The success of the RO means that the UK will this year become the leading country in the world for offshore wind - with generation representing almost 10% of our total renewable capacity. The 2007 Energy White Paper set out measures to improve the RO -

 

3.       Meeting the Government’s share of the EU 2020 target for renewable energy could require up to 30%-35% of electricity to be supplied from renewable sources. This implies connecting around 30-40 Giga Watts of renewable capacity (much of it offshore and onshore wind).

 

4.       The Government periodically issues guidance to Ofgem on its contribution to the attainment of relevant Government social or environmental policies. Ofgem is required to have regard to the guidance when discharging the statutory functions to which its principal objective and general duties apply. The last guidance issued in 2004. New draft guidance aims to take account of the development of relevant Government policies since that time, notably on emissions and renewable energy.

 

5.     The Transmission Access Review (TAR) was announced in the Government’s May 2007 Energy White Paper 2007. The TAR carried out jointly by Ofgem and the Department for Business, considered the present technical, commercial and regulatory framework for the delivery of new transmission infrastructure and the management of the existing grid capacity to ensure that they remain fit for purpose as the proportion of renewable generation on the system grows.

6.     The final report published on 26 June 2008 sets out a number of measures that taken together could remove or significantly reduce grid related barriers to renewable and other forms of generation. There are three key outcomes of the review. These relate to the enduring access arrangements, short term measures which can be implemented while the enduring arrangements are being developed and implemented, and longer term measures designed to help meet the 2020 targets.

7.     Further information on the Transmission Access Review including the final report can be found on the Department for Business and Ofgem websites at http://www.berr.gov.uk/energy/sources/renewables/policy/transm ission-access/page40567.html

8.     In 2006, the DTI commissioned a quantitative research survey to explore awareness and attitudes to renewable energy amongst the general public in Great Britain. It focused on awareness of and attitudes to renewable energy, influences on these opinions and perceptions of recent media coverage on renewable energy. A second survey was commissioned in March 2007 and published in September 2007. The third run of the survey was commissioned in March 2008 and is published today. The survey can be accessed at http://www.berr.gov.uk/energy/sources/renewables/planning/publ ic-perception/page18642.html

Windflow Technology Ltd

·          Business type: manufacturer

·          Product types: The Windflow 500 is a 500 kW 33 m two bladed horizontal-axis wind turbine. It is the first wind turbine to combine two new technologies, the patented torque limiting gearbox (TLG) system of power control and the pitch regulated two-bladed teetering rotor. The combination of the TLG system and the two bladed rotor design effect major reductions in fatigue loads. The Windflow 500 design results in weight and cost reductions of between 20-50% compared to currently available commercial windmills of similar power rating. The end result combines cost-effectiveness, simplicity and reliability in a world leading design..
