Role of Hydrogen in UK energy system
Hydrogen is already entering the energy system, but requires a long-term plan if it is to be used for heat or transport, to make it zero-carbon.
Heating Buildings: Reducing energy demand and greenhouse gas emissions
Focuses on fabric energy efficiency for reducing heat demand, exploring why this opportunity is not being fully exploited.
Transition to low-carbon heat
Considers options for low-carbon heating to understand their implications for users and energy systems.
Barriers to System-Wide Energy Storage
The financial, regulatory, political, commercial, legal barriers to system-wide energy storage are assessed and reported on in the latest of ERP’s Energy Storage reports – due out Oct 2016.
Horizon Scanning
Many of the present suite of UK policies and research are based on a set of mega trends and uncertainties established in scenarios developed some time ago. There is a need to integrate the most recent developments into the work of ERP, its Members and the broader energy space.
