SUMMARY:ERA Conference: A Race Against Time - Energy Innovation for Net-Zero
DESCRIPTION:Conference details and downloadsAim of conference\nThis was an in person conference with the aim to discuss the role that energy innovation is playing in achieving Net-Zero and to discuss the Energy Research Accelerator’s plans for the future. Throughout the day we will be focusing on our key themes including: \n• Energy Generation and Systems\n• Transport and Mobility\n• Sustainability and People\n• Decarbonising Industry\n• Data and AI\n• Skills for the Net-Zero transition \n09.00: Arrival and refreshments \n09.30: Welcome and Introduction: Prof Chris Fogwill\, Cranfield University \n09.50: A race against time\, the role and challenges of energy research and innovation in achieving Net-Zero: Keynote speaker: Rachel Fletcher\, Director of Regulation\, Octopus Energy \n10.20: ERA’s national activities: Prof Martin Freer\, Director of the Energy Research Accelerator \n10.40: Panel discussion on National Energy Innovation Challenges with senior representatives from industry and academia\, including: \n\nMichelle Bentham Chief Scientist for Decarbonisation and Resource Management\, British Geological Survey (BGS)\nDavid Wright\, Director of Electricity Transmission\, National Grid\nTom Greatrex\, CEO\, Nuclear Industries Association\nDennis Hayter\, MD\, Intelligent Energy\n\n11.30: Refreshments and Networking \n11.50: Regional Energy Developments and Opportunities: \nFaye McAnulla\, Programme Director ERA \n12.05: Panel discussion on Midlands energy opportunities with senior leaders from the public and private sector: \n\nIan Cuddington\, Director of Economic Development\, Rolls-Royce\nKelly Manders\, Regional Development Manager\, Cadent\nDavid Horsfall\, Director\, Tyseley Energy Park\nKatie Greenhalgh\, Green Growth Lead\, East Midlands Freeport\n\n13.00: Lunch and Networking \nLunch break to include Early Career Researcher Posters and presentations in Foyer \nOptional tours of Cranfield energy facilities: \nThe HyPER demonstrator – HyPER can produce hundreds of kg of hydrogen each day. It is a megawatt scale pilot facility that utilises sorbent enhanced reforming to generate clean hydrogen. The pilot sized demonstrator can be of use to any business developing anything from hydrogen/Co2 leak detection\, gas analysis\, pipe fittings/gaskets non-destructive testing and evaluation of metals and pipes\, gas compressors and purification systems etc. \nThe Turquoise Hydrogen demonstrator – The Turquoise Hydrogen demonstrator consists of a central upright fixed fluidised bed reactor which generates hydrogen from methane\, with built in mechanisms for heating and heat recovery. In the reactor\, methane molecules are split into their constituents\, H2 and carbon. This pilot reactor has an in-built system to separate gaseous H2 and remove the solid carbon \nOptional – Test drive Tesla car \n14.10: Breakout groups\, exploring collaborative ideas in several ERA research themes: \n\nEnergy and the Built Environment – Dominika Walker\, (Tomato Energy)\nTransport and Mobility – Faye McAnulla and Martin Freer (ERA/University of Birmingham)\nDecarbonising Industry – Vasilije Manovic and Phil Longhurst (Cranfield University)\nData and AI – Rob Shipman (University of Nottingham)\nSkills – Lennie Foster (ERA)\, Keith Wishart (IBM)\, Swathi (C-DICE post doc)\, Nazmiye Ozkan (Cranfield)\nHydrogen Storage – Kat Mycock (HyDEX) and Gordon Arnott (University of Nottingham)\n\nEach group to focus on one of ERA’s themes and developing one or two ‘Big Ideas’ for industry and universities to work together on. \n15.10: Groups to feedback to the conference on their ideas \n15.30: Summary of day and next steps: \nProf Martin Freer \n15.50: Close
