The document summarizes a pilot project to create a heat map of the Scottish Highlands region. It details the background and motivation for the project, which was to help the region meet renewable energy targets and reduce emissions. The methodology section explains how the heat map was constructed by analyzing spatial data on heat demand, supply sources, and development opportunities across the region. The heat map is intended to be an interactive tool that can evaluate scenarios such as the impact of new developments on heat demand and identify clusters of high demand areas. The conclusion states that the robust and repeatable methodology provides opportunities to identify realistic district heating projects that can help achieve renewable energy goals.

- 1. Heat Mapping in The Highlands Kenny Monteath, AECOM 13th October 2011
- 2. Overview Background Methodology Functionality Summary
- 3. Background: The Highland Heat Map This is a pilot project funded by Scottish Government arising out of a previous Heat Mapping exercise carried out in 2007. A steering group of Scottish Government, Highlands and Islands Enterprise and The Highland Council have been responsible for leading and directing the work. Project completed – April 2011
- 7. 25% EFW
- 10. Scope for Energy from wasteRenewable Heat Incentive (DECC) Oil ~ $115 per barrel Heating oil ~ 60p per litre Background: National context
- 11. Background: Local context Development Plan Influence policy about how development can occur sustainably Influence current and future proposals Inform investment decisions, projects and initiatives There are many potential stakeholders, including: Council functions e.g. Planning & Development, Housing & Property, Waste Management, Climate Change & Sustainability Developers or Property Managers of heat-demanding land uses Developers or Operators of sources of heat supply Those involved in developing or implementing incentives
- 13. Supply issues – “waste” industrial heat, biomass fuel sources, technology providers, expertise etc.
- 14. Opportunities/ Constraints – locations of major energy loads, development opportunities, flood zones etc.Spatial information is complemented by a suite of GIS tools designed to allow interrogation and analysis of the spatial information. This added functionality allows the Heat Map to be used to inform the planning process by predicting the potential impacts of development scenarios and identifying suitable locations for renewable heat opportunities
