The situation
The UK currently depends on importing about 66% of its gas supply, with North Sea production declining significantly—20% since 2019 and forecasted to meet less than a third of heating needs by 2027. Norway remains the main supplier, providing over 50% of imports, while reliance on the US for LNG imports has fluctuated in recent years. Despite efforts, the market remains dominated by a few companies controlling 70% of household supply, contributing to a steep rise in energy bills. With imports projected to rise further and global gas prices increasing due to geopolitical and market pressures, the UK faces a future of rising energy costs and heightened vulnerability to supply shocks.
Stealing fire
As the global landscape shifts, traditional real estate assets must become more competitive and sustainable. Older residential properties face rising maintenance costs and urgent need for modernisation amid increasing environmental and financial pressures. To address these challenges, our company plans to build a dedicated biomass fuel business, enabling us to supply all heating needs for our properties directly. This vertical integration not only ensures energy independence but also delivers a clean, renewable heating solution that lowers operational costs and enhances property value. By combining biomass with other onsite generation technologies like solar, wind turbines, and CHP, we provide a comprehensive, sustainable energy system that secures a competitive edge while reducing carbon footprint and exposure to volatile energy markets. Our approach future-proofs properties, aligns with regulatory demands, and meets growing market expectations for eco-friendly living.
