As part of the Regional Economic Strategy, the Northwest Regional Development Agency (NWDA) works alongside Envirolink Northwest to focus its attentions on those actions that will have the greatest impact on our economy. The ETS sector is a lucrative global growth market that will provide numerous opportunities for Northwest businesses within the sector. Regional manufacturing organisations can also benefit from the increased opportunities ETS industries provide, with the added potential to diversify into the sector. As well as being a vital factor for business continuity and everyday life, energy and ETS are key sectors for the future, making important contributions to the region’s economy. The NWDA will maintain its work with Envirolink Northwest and partners to provide continued support to developing the sector – not only England’s Northwest for the direct economic benefits which it will provide, but also to support the region’s efforts at mitigating and adapting to climate change.

Specifically, its goal is to assist the Northwest ETS sector to outpace the global market growth rate up to 2015 – increasing gross value added (GVA) and employment within the region. This model of the Northwest ETS sector and sub-sectors explains the strategic approach to this goal: each bubble represents a sub-sector – the size of the bubble indicates the relative market value of each sub-sector.

  • Biomass Task Force Report to Government • October 2005 Standing – Nikki Macleod, David Clayton, Rebecca Cowburn
    Biomass Task Force Report To Government • October 2005 Standing – Nikki MacLeod, David Clayton, Rebecca Cowburn. Seated – John Roberts CBE, Sir Ben Gill CBE, Nick Hartley FOREWORD by Sir Ben Gill The challenge set for the Task Force was to make proposals to optimise the contribution of biomass to a range of targets and policies set by the Government. In setting out the case for biomass we noted that the Energy White Paper contained clear aspirations about renewable energy, security of supply, competitiveness and fuel poverty. The Government also has the important objectives of sustainable development and sustainable farming, forestry and woodland management. Taken together, all of these aims can deliver environmental improvement and also economic benefit particularly in rural and other areas. Our work has shown that the potential of biomass is significant. We have taken the real contribution it can make to the climate change agenda as the primary driver. In putting in place a programme of actions to deliver biomass energy there is a critical need for a strategic approach by the Government to enable the potential to be exploited. We focus on the fact that in spite of more than one-third of primary energy being used for heat there has been a lack of recognition of the role of renewable heat in policy delivery. The approach could be characterised as - no targets; no concerted policy; no strategy; and, limited support for development. So far as DTI’s Energy White Paper is concerned there was a missed opportunity to develop targets for renewable heat and this has perpetuated an inconsistency of approach in Government and in the Regions.

  • Overview of Deconstruction in Selected Countries
    CHAPTER 9 IMPLEMENTING DECONSTRUCTION IN THE UNITED STATES Charles J. Kibert, Abdol R. Chini and Jennifer L. Languell, M.E. Rinker, Sr. School of Building Construction, Center for Construction and Environment, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida, USA SUMMARY Out of 260 million tons of non-industrial waste produced annually in the U.S., 136 million tons are a result of the construction and demolition industry. This equates to approximately 33% of the waste produced nationally. Similarly in the State of Florida, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) reports approximately 22% of the waste produced is a result of construction and demolition activities. In this report, Florida is used as an example of construction waste generation issue in the U.S. The process of deconstruction (the disassembly of structures for the purpose of reusing components and building materials) can significantly decrease the national solid waste burden the construction industry places on the environment. Through deconstruction, natural resources are saved, employment and training opportunities are created, and local businesses are developed that use the materials diverted from landfills. Deconstruction supplies useful materials to building materials yards, recycling centers, and remanufacturing enterprises, creating additional jobs and community revenue. This report investigates and analyzes issues related to the feasibility of replacing demolition and landfilling of building materials with deconstruction and reuse in the U.S. The report

This note responds to some of the issues arising from comments sent to the ExA on 2nd September 2014 by MJCA on behalf of Whitemoss responding to the Second Round of question. Trends in Hazardous Waste Landfill Question 3.1 Asked the Applicant, EA: “the NPS (Hazardous Waste 2010: England and Wales below para 3.2.7) indicates some 500,000 tonnes of hazardous waste being disposed of in landfill in 2010, following a significant fall in earlier years. In the applicant’s planning statement at para 8.9 and Appendix PS A, hazardous waste deposited for England and Wales in 2012 is shown as being about 4.25 million tonnes, with 716,463 tonnes recorded for the North West region. Of this, 872,436 tonnes in England and Wales was sent to landfill, with 54,955 tonnes to landfill in the North West. Does the EA agree the applicant’s figures? Can data be provided and agreed for hazardous waste for the last five years showing the amount disposed of in landfill in: i. England ii. North West iii. Lancashire 2. Accordingly the Environment Agency response included trend data for hazardous waste landfilled in these areas (p6 of 2nd September response): 3.

  • Final Project Report to Defra Sustainable Procurement Task Force Secretariat
    Pilot OpenStrategy® for Sustainable Procurement in the North West Final Project Report to Defra Sustainable Procurement Task Force Secretariat Prepared by: Matthew Wilkinson Sustainable Development Policy Team North West Regional Assembly Wigan Investment Centre Waterside Drive Wigan WN3 5BA Tel: 01942 776724 [email protected] Executive Summary This is the final project report of the Pilot phase of the OpenStrategy® (OS) for sustainable procurement in the North West. This has been funded jointly by Defra’s Sustainable Procurement Task Force (SPTF) Secretariat, North West Regional Assembly (NWRA) and Northwest Regional Development Agency (NWDA). In August 2005, these organisations embarked on a project to provide a basis for a sustainable procurement strategy for the North West using the OpenStrategy® technique. This document is complemented by an Independent Evaluation Report of the OS technique by Forum for the Future (Forum), using this pilot as the primary case study, whilst also drawing upon other applications across the country. The report is available from the Forum for the Future website1. The overall aims of this project were to pilot the OS technique and, in the process, work towards the development of a sustainable procurement strategy for the North West region. A total of 11 stakeholders were engaged with this process and the pilot was supported over a period from the end of September 2005 to May 2006. The OpenStrategy® (OS) system offers a new and innovative approach to multiple stakeholder associations that enables the processes of communication, negotiation, prioritisation and agreement. It is specifically designed to facilitate these processes in partnerships where large numbers of organisations reside.

    Waste. It’s one of our greatest regional challenges. England’s Northwest produces almost four million tonnes of municipal waste each year and, if our collectively wasteful behaviour continues unabated, that figure is set to double by 2020. The pressure is on and the rubbish is piling up. Behind every Resourceful tonne of waste that tumbles into our landfill sites lie many more tonnes of precious resources we simply can’t afford to squander, not to mention the release of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane. Our region’s landfill sites are filling at an alarming rate, with only five years of capacity left, solutions and ever-greater pressure is being placed on businesses, local authorities and individuals to clean up their act. Greater Manchester Waste Ltd (GMW) - the largest waste disposal and management company owned and controlled by from GMW a local authority - is one of the key players when it comes to addressing the problem of waste. GMW manages and disposes of waste as carefully and responsibly as possible but, crucially, it is also looking at ways to conserve resources, reduce waste levels and contribute to the sustainable development of England’s Northwest. The company’s Thermal Recovery Facility in Bolton is one development that GMW considers an important contribution to sustainability.The plant handles 120,000 tonnes of waste each year and from this waste generates 10MW of electricity - enough to heat 7,000 homes. Plans for an associated, local, district heating system are currently being discussed, and the ash from the facility is being recovered with the aim of reusing it in the construction industry.

  • Environmentally Sustainable Procurement – Putting Policy Into Practice
    Simple Steps to Environmentally Sustainable Procurement – Putting Policy into Practice A guidance document for public sector organisations in the North West www.clasp-nw.info Putting Policy into Practice | Procurement Project ‘How to use this Guide’ Sustainability was recently identified in the Procurement Intelligence Unit's CPO Strategy Survey 2011 as ‘one of the dominant 'megatrends' that will underpin procurement activity increasingly in years to come’. This document is a practical guide to help public sector organisations adopt ‘green’, or ‘environmentally sustainable’, alternatives within their procurement processes. It is packed with useful sources of information, real life case studies, example contract tender clauses and links to further websites, to demonstrate the steps that can be taken towards more environmentally sustainable procurement practices1. It is worth saying here that sustainable procurement is, of course, far more encompassing than the remit of this project, which is focused primarily on the low carbon angle. Thus, this Guide must be considered as only one piece of the sustainable procurement jigsaw. The information and reference sources contained within this Guide can be used, or adapted as appropriate to your individual organisation’s requirements, to assist with: • Staff training/inductions – to raise awareness of sustainable procurement • Engagement with senior management – to raise awareness of the organisational benefits of procuring more sustainably • Engagement with category managers – to demonstrate how what they purchase contributes to sustainability • Supporting the transformation of policy commitments into action! 1 This document does not deal with the application of procurement law. All the guidance provided in the document should be applied in a manner consistent with the requirements of procurement law including, without limitation, the Public Contracts Regulations 2006 (as amended) and the EC law principles of equal treatment, transparency and proportionality.
