As GB warms due to climate change, uptake of Space Cooling (SC) is expected to increase significantly, leading to increased summer peak demands and greater network load for building comfort alongside the electrification of heat. However, SC demand is currently poorly accounted for in distribution network planning using limited modelling. Additionally, SC'...

It is essential that Protected Sites (PSs), e.g. hospitals and military sites, have a resilient energy supply to meet critical requirements. Most protected sites currently use fossil-fuels for heat and backup solutions. For Distribution Network Operators (DNOs), supporting protected sites' transition to electrified heating will require providing additiona...

The project aims to establish a Green Shipping Corridor (GSC) between the Ports of Tyne (UK) and Ijmuiden (Netherlands), focusing on decarbonising the route currently served by ageing vessels. This initiative aligns with DFDS's commitment to sustainability, targeting a significant reduction in CO2 emissions by transitioning to methanol-fuelled RoRo/RoPax ...

The shipping route between Dublin and Holyhead is the shortest and busiest route across the Irish Sea with almost 6000 vessels annually accounting for 74% of all sea passenger movements between the UK and Ireland. Two leading vessel operators, Stena and Irish Ferries provide a valuable service transiting passengers and goods on this route daily. Both are ...

The decarbonisation of the marine sector is likely to drive a substantial surge in national electrical demand. The sector has a critical role in UK economy and supporting island communities, but is also complex, with huge diversity across ports and their stakeholders. Seeking to address this challenge, SeaChange will: \*build a replicable, localised model...

CLEVER aims to overcome barriers by developing new harmonised GHG emission factors for transport sector (freight & passenger), encompassing uncovered categories, new and conventional fuels and production paths while taking up the full energy lifecycle (Well To-Wheel/Wake), and providing clearer guides for calculating and accounting emission factors, cover...

Challenge 1: Develop a data platform for power and heat usage with sufficient granularity to identify community trends and individual usage patterns in both domestic and commercial buildings. Title: Energy Data Integration System (EDIS) The Ricardo-AEA Energy Data Integration System (EDIS) project will develop and evaluate a prototype platform that will m...
