The UK's poorly insulated, energy inefficient housing stock could be easily transformed by the end of the next decade.
This report, written by CSE for WWF-UK, shows that without a radical shift in Government policy the UK is set to miss out on the biggest opportunity to cut household energy bills, and reduce CO2 emissions.

This study aimed to assess geographically the potential for, and constraints on, the cultivation of miscanthus and short-rotation willow crops in Devon, along with the opportunities for using arisings from existing woodlands as an energy source.
A series of maps illustrates areas where cultivation of energy crop is not appropriate, due to landscape value, soil type or other restrictions.

The REvision 2020 project sought to establish targets for renewable electricity to 2020 plus targets for renewable heat for 2010 and 2020 and a target for on-site generation within new developments. Because the targets were intended to support the South West's Regional Spatial Strategy, a range of proposed planning policies to support the implementation of these targets was included.
Funded by the Government Office for the South West in partnership with the South West Regional Assembly.
