Presentation given by David Green (Ecoisland Partnership CiC) at UPEN workshop - Climate change and the Solent: Opportunities and Vulnerabilities.

1. Working together fora greener planet An introduction to Eco-Island

3. There are electric cars, electric bikes, solar panels, wind farms, new energy homes consuming less power, smart meters managing the load and there is even a tidal installation producing electricity 24 hrs /day.

4. The Eco-Islanders are growing more of their own food and are more aware of food miles producing more of what they need on the Island they are self sufficient in terms of water, energy and recycle all their own waste producing power and heat.

5. The quality of life has improved. Their GREENback card gives them discounts which reduce the cost of living for all.

8. Water down to 90L/person/day

9. Make eco island an Eco Tourist destination.

10. Promote re-location to the IOW for Eco Business with the development of Eco Business parks.

11. Local food production and distribution.

12. Reclaim our Natural Environment making Eco-Island a great place to visit, live and work in.

13. Promote public transport electric bikes / cars.

14. Improve Communities with more Green Towns

15. Recycle our waste and generate power from it.

16. MAKE THE ISLE OF WIGHT ENERGY SELF- SUFFICIENT BY 2020.

17. REDUCE THE COST OF LIVING FOR ECOISLANDERS WHILST IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF LIFE.

18. PROMOTE SUSTAINABILITY ON THE ISLAND AND FURTHER AFIELD.

20. This will require a combination of technologies including:

21. Solar PV on houses / commercial.

22. Geothermal Energy.

23. Wind Energy.

24. Energy From Waste.

25. Tidal Energy.

26. This will generate in excess of £1m pa in revenue for the CIC for a period of up to 25 years

27. The surplus funds from the energy schemes will help to fund the community projects:

28. Eco Centre visitor attraction

29. Electric Bikes

30. Electric cars

31. Allotments

32. Green Towns

33. Local recycling

34. Promotion activities

35. Infra structure projects

36. R+D into new technology

38. The project will create 2 major sea turbine locations one in Hurst Narrows and one at St. Catherines.

39. Rights have been negotiated with Crown Estates and it will create 10 PODS that can be rented out by turbine manufacturers to R+D their products ( renting the space ).

40. The winning technologies will then be rolled out on a larger scale

41. It may also enable us to purchase the old BHC building in East Cowes which has deep water frontage and a large undercover area.

42. We expect this to create more than 100 jobs in building + servicingTotal Project Funding £30m

44. It is also seeking to secure the commercial waste stream.

45. Maximum re-cylcing of all waste

46. Technologies will include AD / Biomass / CHP / some incineration as a backstop but with some very low emission technology.

47. Outputs will be ZERO WASTE TO LANDFILL and products made from the bottom ash and the fly ash.Total Project Funding £50m

49. We need to drill two divergent bore holes at least 2km down where we will hit water heated by hot rocks.

50. The low end heat ( 60 degrees ) will be used by Wight Salads to heat their 26 hectares of greenhouses.

51. The top end heat will produce steam to drive a turbine and generate a large amount of power.

52. This could last for 100’s of years and provide much of the islands power.Total Funding £20m

54. There are proposals going forward for some 500mW turbines ( 40m to HUB height ) in 3 locations on IOW.

55. We are also working with the Windtronics technology which will provide a very high output 6ft diameter turbine for house and commercial roofs.

56. Wind energy has its place in the mixTotal Project Funding £20m

58. We are looking at 3,500 social houses and about another 170 blocks of flats and other Projects

59. We have dispensation to proceed with a large number of commercial roofs on the Island and we are hopeful of being able to provide more than 30 business with FREE electricity when the sun is shinning. Total Project Funding £50m

60. Smart Grid

61. Smart Metering PassivLiving™ - The PassivSystems service platform Consumer Access Partner Access Monitoring & Logging Demand Mgt Network Mgt Hub Services Installers, ESCOs, Landlords etc Home Owners Environment info Control information Configuration, improved software Personalized messages / promotions Activity data Configuration Control Confirmation Internet (secure connection) Managed Homes

95. Try to run it without charging

96. Design it assuming “no services” to the site and that we have to generate / recycle / reuse everything – this is obviously site dependent.

97. Some dwellings on site where people can stay for free but they have to take part in the running of the centre i.e. gather wood / tend the vegetables / keep the wildlife

98. Some of the site from reclaimed / reused landfill materials. All materials from the Island – quite a lot of wood.

99. Café only selling food grown on site and other Island produce. Total Project £3m

102. Engage Partners who can help fund / supply materials for Eco-Grow projects.

103. The IOW exports more food than it imports each year. We already produce a large % of the food we need on the Island.

298. A Range of Partnership Options has enabled a Large number of Partners To come on board. The CIC Partnership Model has the added benefit that not only do you get support and funding ( as you would with sponsorship ) but you also get a lot of goods in kind and services PLUS the benefits of their PR and Marketing Teams.

300. Regardless of the level of partnership your organization can utilize the relevant partnership logo to its own devices. With so much public awareness of green issues it will help your business support eco-island and doing the right thing for society. It can also highlight your current and planned eco initiatives, products plans within your own business strategy.

301. Our partners pages used frequently in a wide range of media. Our business partners are often the first to receive opportunities that emerge from our green ventures. We regularly feature business through our press and media connections which can maximize publicity of an eco action or investment at your business.

303. National company that has made significant financial contribution to the CIC

304. Local business that have made financial contribution to the CIC
