SUMMARY:Decarbonisation of Transport - part 2
DESCRIPTION:Transport in the UK is the largest emitter of CO2 emissions\, in order to meet the Governments ambitious goals of Net Zero 2050\, significant reductions need to be realised. During this webinar\, Professor Sarah Sharples (Chief Scientific Adviser for the Department for Transport) talked about the challenges faced in decarbonising transport\, and describe some of the current R&D being undertaken by DfT to support the decarbonisation of transport. \nSarah is a Professor of Human Factors in the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Nottingham and from 2018-2021 was Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Equality\, Diversity & Inclusion and People. She has led research in transport\, manufacturing and healthcare\, and currently leads the EPSRC (Engineering & Physical Sciences Research Council) Connected Everything Network Plus. She founded and co-director of the EPSRC Horizon Centre for Doctoral Training\, and has led research programmes examining implementation of new technologies in rail\, highways and aviation. She was President of the Chartered Institute of Ergonomics and Human Factors from 2015-16.

SUMMARY:Decarbonisation of Transport - part 1\, an ERA perspective
DESCRIPTION:During this webinar Faye McAnulla gave an overview of the project Decarbonising Heavy Transport in The Midlands: H2GVMIDS\, Thomas Steffen (Loughborough University) talked about the contribution Electric Vehicles (EVs) can make towards a net zero future\, and Frank Tutu (EDF R&D UK Centre) presented on how EDF is working towards decarbonising transport. \nElectric Vehicles as a Key Enabler for the Decarbonisation of Our Electricity Grid: Dr. Thomas Steffen (Loughborough University).       \nThis presentation originates from the Future of Technology Series\, and it discusses the contribution Electric Vehicles (EVs) can make towards a net zero future. Renewable generation is notoriously volatile\, and smart charging of EVs offers a simple yet effective opportunity to shift the charging load to periods of excess generation. Thus\, smart charging provides private and public benefits\, and this research explores how both can be aligned. Because of the limited capacity\, EVs will only be able to provide daily or weekly storage\, while seasonal flexibility could be achieved via hydrogen storage in combination with hybrid vehicles. \nHy4Fleets: Frank Tutu (EDF R&D UK Centre). \nHy4Fleets was a feasibility study project that developed and tested the value for an assessment tool to support decision-making and encourage the transition of diesel-powered heavy-duty vehicles (HDVs) to hydrogen fuel cell fleets. The project’s main goal was to address the gap in technical and economic insights on the hydrogen switching process that presents a barrier to the uptake of hydrogen vehicles by fleet operators.

SUMMARY:Making smart local energy systems happen
DESCRIPTION:Christoph Mazur from Engie was joined by Tobiloba Elusakin from Trilateral Research and Amruta Joshi from the University of Birmingham to discuss the implementation of smart energy systems. Christoph Mazur is Project Lead of Zero Carbon Rugeley\, a project to produce an innovative design for a town-wide Smart Local Energy System (SLES) including the former Rugeley Power Station site. This project will demonstrate how carbon emissions and energy costs can be reduced whilst also providing a boost for local regeneration. Dr Amruta Joshi from University of Birmingham specialises in supporting businesses with needs in renewable energy\, optimisation of energy storage for different applications\, and energy efficiency analysis. Her talk highlights smart energy system implementation strategies for SMEs with exemplar case studies; reemphasising the contribution of SMEs in the UK’s action on climate change and hence\, the need to address their challenges. Dr Tobi Elusakin is a Research Analyst within the Applied Research and Innovation (ARI) team at Trilateral. During his talk he discusses the EERA data project that proposed and is implementing a data framework to help assess the impacts of energy efficiency investments by taking into account all the relevant building-stock\, energy\, environmental and socio-economic data in order to assist local government administrators in assessing and prioritising energy efficiency measures in the modernisation and renovation of buildings.

SUMMARY:Black Researcher Special
DESCRIPTION:As part of ERA’s Black History Month Celebrations\, we have invited two of our black researchers\, Eugene Boadu (Keele University) and Dr Shandelle Steadman (Cranfield University) to talk about the exciting research they are carrying out. Check out the recording of their talks below: \n Would you like to trade your energy?\nDr Shandelle Steadman\nAs energy markets are becoming more decentralised\, energy trading platforms are emerging as potential tools to facilitate the coordination of energy consumption and generation. Shandelle’s presentation will provide an overview of her research on the factors that affect indivial consumer’s and prosumer’s willingness to participate in a peer-to-peer energy trading platform. Focusing on a set of three European countries\, it disentangles the effectiveness of both economic and non-economic incentives in fostering energy trade via intermediate platforms.  Check out the talk Shandelle gave as part of the ERA Black History Month Net Zero Heroes Special below: \n\nClimate Change mitigation and adaptation: Role of multinational enterprise subsidiaries in sub-Saharan Africa\nEugene Boadu\nClimate change continues to pose risk to humanity. Continents such as Africa is vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change. The project aims to examine\, at a granular level\, the strategies used by multinational subsidiaries in mitigating and adapting to climate change within the context of developing countries. Empirical data will be obtained through the interview of relevant officials in selected subsidiaries in Ghana. It is hoped that the outcome of the research will provide policy and academic literature on climate change mitigation and adaptation. Check out the talk Eugene gave as part of the ERA Black History Month Net Zero Heroes Special below: \n\n
