Energy Systems Catapult Limited

**BioCapMap** is a Strategic Innovation Fund Discovery project led by Cadent, with Bohr Energy and Energy Systems Catapult. It will unlock the UK's biomethane potential by developing a digital, self-service tool that helps developers identify optimal gas network connection points, being the first of kind to solve this gap in the connections planning proce...

The project aims to accelerate Belfast's transition to Net Zero by further developing, embedding and scaling delivery pathways for a city-centre heat network and rooftop solar. These were identified as priority interventions during modelling of the City's energy system in the Local Area Energy Plan (LAEP) but are currently constrained by a series of non-t...

The project will develop an integrated hierarchical network modelling framework for simulating the operation of future GB energy system scenarios with highly interconnected gas and power networks. The realistic modelling of power-to-gas and storage operators' behaviour will be emphasised. The integrated models will be demonstrated on a simulation platform...

_To achieve clean power by 2030 and Net Zero by 2050, UK food production must move away from fossil fuels. With approximately 209,000 farm holdings in 2023, energy networks must adapt prepared to meet different future rural energy demands driven by greenhouse gas reductions and climate change adaptation._ _The Future Agriculture Resilience Mapping (FARM) ...

Traction Bulk Supply Points are large capacity grid connections designed to support peak demand on the rail traction system. Because traction power is typically very peaky in nature this capacity is not optimally utilised. Installing battery storage facilities at traction BSPs and unlocking connection agreements to enable two-way dynamic flow could shift ...

Belfast City Council (BCC) have commissioned two strategic energy masterplans for the local area to achieve a cost effective and socially just net zero energy system whilst realising co-benefits for the local stakeholders. 1.Belfast Local Area Energy Plan (LAEP) 2.Queens Island Decarbonisation Plan (QIDB) These plans are innovative because they take a who...

Our Phase 1 project, Accelerating York's Net Zero Transition identified significant non-technical barriers to consumer acceptance and uptake of retrofit and low carbon technologies. This proposal directly builds on those findings, by combining innovative approaches to place-based engagement, digital tools and data systems, tailored training and advice bes...

Leicestershire CAN (Collaborate to Accelerate Net Zero): Demonstrator will create an environment for well-planned, deliverable, impactful place-based net zero interventions in Leicestershire, replicable to other LA areas. Comprising 4 interconnected work packages, CAN-De will lay the foundations for successful delivery: * Governance: Developing, piloting ...

Peterborough City Council is embarking on an innovative approach to manage and reduce non-technical barriers that are hampering the ability to deliver net-zero initiatives at scale and speed. At the heart of our net-zero strategy lies the implementation of an ambitious and comprehensive plan spanning heat, electricity, and transport. However, to translate...
