5. Combined Heat and Power COMBUSTIONGASIFICATIONPYROLYSIS $1000-2000/kW$1800-2000/kW$169-312/gal/day Average plant costs: £1,000/kW Fuel: Biomass (wood fuel or household waste) Energy content of wood fuel = 17GJ/t The energy content of garbage is about 7.5 GJ/t just by burning trash every year

6. Photovoltaic Insolation in Glasgow: The media  2.38 kWh/m 2 /day The typical efficiency for the PV panels are 12%-25%. We will take 18%. We can obtain  156.37 kWh/m 2 /year. An approximately price for the PV panels is £ 800 /m 2.

7. Wind power CapacityPower outputAverage price Small turbine for the whole community Between 5 and 15kW Between 3 and 24MWh Between £20,000 and £30,000 Micro turbine on a roof Between 0.5 and 1kW Between 1 and 1.8MWh Around £1,000

8. Transport Our entire transport system must be one that is powered completely by renewable energy.  Battery electric vehicles will be the technology that enables this. For the local building materials  electric vans to transport them (short distances). Install an electric bus service to the community, including two routes, one to Glasgow and one to Auchinleck. Encourage bicycle use by building bike lanes. SOME CHARACTERISTICS 80% of the battery is charged in 2.5 hours A full charge costs from 0,9-1,1 €. The cost per Km is 6 times lower than a diesel vehicle. Autonomy 55,65 and 120 km respectively.

9. Recycling waste The household waste created by the average person in the United Kingdom is around 495 kg per year. around 30,000kg for the whole community. Municipal Waste management is dependent on how waste will be converted into energy. Possible measures : Waste separation, recycling, compost...

10. Recycling Rainwater In 2006, the average Scot was recorded as using 140 litres of water per day in a variety of ways: personal washing, brushing teeth, flushing the toilet, washing clothes, etc. Filtered rainwater is clean water that can be used for toilet flushing, laundry, car washing and garden use. This accounts for 57% of the total domestic water use.
