Tees Valley Unlimited, a forward thinking Local Enterprise Partnership, appointed us to research energy storage opportunities in the Tees Valley Combined Authority area. Working with UK clean energy company Progressive Energy, we analysed the opportunities and benefits available through applying advanced heat and electricity demand management to commercial, industrial and [...]
A streamlined, two-stage competitive dialogue process that encouraged innovation and drove down costs. [...]
A due diligence for a client investigating the scope for grid-scale deployment of electricity storage technologies. [...]
INEOS BIO approached us to provide an independent assessment of the greenhouse gas performance of their innovative process for converting waste feedstocks into bio-ethanol. We evaluated CO2e savings, for each feedstock, against alternative fuel production systems. The findings identified the most important areas for process optimisation, and allowed INEOS BIO [...]
Working with Defra over a period of two years, we developed both the options stage and full impact assessments (IA) for the development of a new Environmental Permitting regime for waste and industrial activities. Developed from first principles, we collated data from industry and regulators alike to provide a baseline [...]
We played the lead and coordinating adviser role to Ayrshire Power Ltd on the preparation of a planning application (Section 36) to Scottish Ministers for a new 1,852MW ‘clean’ coal power station, equipped with full-chain carbon capture and storage (CCS) infrastructure. We were involved from the outset of the project, [...]
We acted as Project Manager to the multi-national Peel Energy CCS (PECCS) Joint Venture in its bid to the government’s first Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Competition. With over £1 billion available for CCS development, we worked with the consortium for 2 years of public procurement process resulting in PECCS [...]
In the current economic climate, local authorities must find savings across all their services. Sometimes these can come from redesigning the way that services are delivered or from increasing productivity. However, where services are contracted out, it can seem like an impossible task to make savings until the contract is [...]
We undertook an independent assessment of the medium to long-term financial viability of a residual waste treatment facility in the South West of England. The work assessed the likely future waste arisings and potential likelihood of availability of feedstock from local authority and commercial collections within a defined catchment area, [...]
We undertook a detailed study into the potential for investment in AD for Wessex Water at their existing waste water treatment sites in the South West. The work included an estimate of food waste ‘availability’ from municipal, commercial and industrial streams in the region. The study assessed existing food waste [...]
