7 Future Vision: Early Focus Integrated green energy Advance materials production High performance Computing / data Centre University support services

8 North Haugh Guardbridge 6km Investment 1: Biomass District Heating Scheme £25m investment Decarbonise University heat requirements Currently Point to point Opportunity to extend to local community Opportunity to extend in St Andrews

9 University Aspirations: First UK Carbon Neutral University Wood Boiler Hot water (90C) District heating Renewable Heat Low carbon Heating costs reduced Kenly 12MW wind farm Green electricity

10 Possible Energy Innovation and Infrastructure Biomass, Agriwastes, sewage sludge plastics Green electricity Gasifiers Anaerobic digestors Fuel cells Pyrolysis solar Capture waste heat for district heating Green gas to grid Clean transport fuels Green chemicals Gasifiers gas clean up Biomass, Agriwastes, sewage sludge plastics

11 Biomass to green gas Food waste to green Gas Plastics to green gas Hydrogen Renewable Heat Low carbon Use existing boilers Towards a Carbon Neutral Town…? Use gas mains transport green gas to St Andrews and Fife Guardbridge St Andrews

12 Possible Brewery Integration with Data Centre Renewable electricity Processes Animal feed Biomass to Transport fuel / heat or electricity Hot Waste water Waste mash Hydrogen / electricity Microbial fuel cell Heat extracted for Offices Clean transport Beer delivery Beer Gin Whisky Waste heat from Data Centre

13 New location for start ups Platform for accelerated growth Open infrastructure to plug and play Educational centre to community Apprentice school / charter R&D collaboration with top university Value for waste products Start up support + Angel network Equity support network International focus + promotion Guardbridge: Potential Offer to Industry:

14 Internships Future research Social science research Customer behaviour Community studies Carbon accounting New community model Innovation Intellectual property Proven model Repeatable model Future research Continual enterprise Community Living Laboratory Knowledge transfer Economic Development Scottish Companies Circular economy New products New services Improved society St Andrews International Community
