SUMMARY:Policy and Markets for Offshore Energy Storage - Online
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an exciting hybrid event\, “Policy and Markets for Offshore Energy Storage\,” exploring the development of suitable technologies. \nAbout this event\n\nPrecis: \nIt is now certain that offshore renewable energy will supply a high proportion of primary energy in Northern Europe and other regions. Most forms of that energy are intermittent and there would be strong advantages to implementing energy storage alongside the energy harvesting. This event will explore how well existing policy and market structures can encourage the development of suitable technologies and projects and will attempt to set out how these structures might change for the better in the future. \n\n\n\n\nDiscussion areas: \nIt is beyond doubt now that offshore wind will become a major source of primary power for Northern Europe in the coming decades and it will be important in many other regions also. Wind power is obviously intermittent and some means must be found to reconcile the demand for electricity with its supply. Other forms of offshore renewable energy will also contribute and most of those also introduce intermittency. Energy storage provides one of the main solutions for managing the instantaneous mismatch between resource availability and natural demand and storage is rightly attracting huge attention across the globe now. \nStoring energy locally at offshore sites where renewable energy is collected has several obvious potential benefits. These include \n(a) the marginal cost of ground area is relatively low\, \n(b) implementing solid-state thermal storage may be significantly less expensive offshore than onshore for two separate reasons\, \n(c) there is virtually infinite availability of thermal ballast in the form of sea-water\, \n(d) there may be deep water or offshore salt deposits available to assist pressurised gas/air storage\, \n(e) the utilisation of power transmission lines from site to shore can be improved\, \n(f) there are at least some ways in which energy is collected from the renewable resource in a form that is directly compatible with storage and the conversion to electricity can be performed in response to the demand for electricity – saving both capital costs and power conversion losses \nThere is no suggestion here that all energy storage should be implemented offshore – onshore storage will certainly have a major role also. There is also no suggestion that long-distance power transmission\, including HVDC transmission\, does not have a major role – it will. Producing hydrogen offshore and exploiting that process for both conveying energy as well as for storage will obviously play an important part too. Similarly\, demand-side management will contribute. Notwithstanding these other possible ways to provide flexibility\, local offshore storage could still offer significant system benefits. \nOne objective of this session is to identify the benefits for implementing energy storage at offshore locations and to evaluate whether the associated challenges and costs can be justified based on current evidence. The primary purpose is to examine whether existing policy and market mechanisms might be suppressing developments that might otherwise find strong commercial traction by contributing very cost-effective functionality to the electricity systems to which they are connected. One useful case-study is the scheme for “contracts for difference” (CfDs) auctions. The CfD mechanism has been exceptionally successful in providing developers with the confidence to invest in low-carbon generation projects up to now but it primarily rewards powerplant operators in direct proportion to the energy exported (largely*) independent of how valuable that energy is/was to the system at the time it was exported. \nWe therefore seek to answer the following questions: \n(1) Are the benefits and costs of offshore energy storage sufficiently understood? \n(2) Do existing policy and market mechanisms for incentivising low carbon generation in various countries actually provide suitable incentives for project developers to incorporate storage at offshore generation sites if that would bring overall system benefits\, \n(3) Will “merchant trading” (simply selling electricity onto the wholesale markets) eventually provide the commercial pull for such systems if their benefits are sufficient\, \n(4) If existing policy mechanisms will not elicit good market behaviours and if the merchant trading prospect is still some way off\, what intermediate steps might be taken by governments to sustain at least some appropriate technology development in the meanwhile. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAccess presentations from this eventPlease complete the form below to access downloads of the presentations from this event.  \nFirst name *Surname *Affiliation *Email address *				\n																							\n										\n						\n						\n									\n															\n				SubmitThank you for signing up.

SUMMARY:Climate Change 3.0 & The Future of Sustainability - A Midlands Green Innovation Network event
DESCRIPTION:Renowned futurist\, Chris Barnatt\, looks at the future of sustainability. How do we consume less yet find more of the resources we need? \nThere is now broad scientific and political agreement that we need to rise to the challenge of climate change and to live in a more sustainable manner. Yet\, in the UK and beyond\, is becoming clear that political mechanisms do not exist that will allow even currently declared climate change mitigation targets to be met. Businesses need to rapidly understand that we are entering a new era of the climate change debate\, and how policy is likely to evolve.

SUMMARY:HSiC 2024
DESCRIPTION:HSiC-2024 was run as part of a the energy storage conference UKES\, which ran 10th-12th April 2024. \nStoring hydrogen underground will be a vital component in the UK achieving Net Zero. Transformation from primary energy to hydrogen and back again to usable energy is not technically complex – and huge amounts of energy can be stored in this medium. \nLast year the Royal Society published a report entitled “Large Scale Electricity Storage” where they emphasize that the UK will need about 100 TWh of storage capacity provided by underground hydrogen caverns and depleted fields to decarbonise the electricity system. Rounding to the nearest integer\, the country currently has a total 0 TWh of storage capacity. There is a real need to get on with it! \nIn an effort to kickstart strategic developments in the country\, the Department for Energy  Security and Net Zero has published a document outlining the government’s plans to support hydrogen storage\, including a strategy to minimize the risk of low revenue for potential cavern operators. \nThis year the Hydrogen Storage in Caverns 2024 (HSIC 2024) event took place at the University of Nottingham on the 12th of April. It was held as part of the wider UK Energy Storage Conference (UKES 2024). It builds on successful previous events held in London in [2020\, 2022\, and 2023]. \nThe event explored some of the key challenges involved in deploying the necessary amounts of hydrogen caverns as well as some of the high profile projects currently being carried out in the country . \nHSiC 2024 event resourcesPlease submit your details using the form below to request access to event resources\, including speaker videos and presentations from across the event. \n\nSubmitThank you for your message.

SUMMARY:Energy Storage is Not Whiskey - Blends are Best!
DESCRIPTION:This event took place on Tue\, 9 Jul 2024 15:00 – 16:30 as part of Net-Zero Week 2024 \nSynopsis\nDecarbonising energy requires that we reconcile the differences between natural demand (how much electricity we would use at any given time if there were no incentives to do differently) and supply. \nBecause much of our future primary energy supply will be drawn directly from renewables\, the supply side resource will be quite variable. Several different measures are available to reconcile the two sides but of those and among these options\, energy storage is very likely to play a hugely important role. \nThis webinar\, which is part of Net-Zero Week\, focuses on “the benefits of the blend”. In theory at least\, we could operate a net-zero energy system using just one type of storage but modelling is increasingly showing that blends of multiple types of storage will provide the lowest-cost systems. In this webinar we will hear about the four main ranges of discharge-duration for energy storage and the technical solutions that suit each of those four ranges  best. \nChair:  Professor Seamus Garvey\, University of Nottingham. \n\nSeamus Garvey is a Professor of Mechanical at the University of Nottingham and an expert in the roles that energy storage solutions will achieve in net zero energy systems. He has been passionately vocal over almost 20 years on the elucidation of how mechanical energy storage can and will play a major role in the future and he leads a Task under the IEA Technology Collaboration Program on Energy Storage focused on medium-duration solutions.\n\nSpeakers:   \n\nProf. Keith Pullen\,  CEO of Levistor Ltd..   Keith discussed the roles that flywheels can play in storing energy over very short periods – cycled millions of times\nDr. John Joseph Marie\,  Principal Analyst at The Faraday Institution.  JJ addressed  the expanding role that stationary batteries can serve in electricity grid support for times (mainly) below 10 hours.\nDr.  Nerea Martinez Hipolito\, Hydrogen Intelligence Service Research Manager at LCP Delta. Nerea focused on how hydrogen can balance-up supply and demand mismatches over very long timescales – typically exceeding 200 hours.\n\nDownload the presentations below \n\nProfessor Seamus Garvey – introduction to the event\nProfessor Keith Pullen – The roles of flywheels in storing energy over short periods\nDr John Joseph Marie – The role of stationary batteries in electricity grid support\nDr Nerea Martinez Hipolito – How hydrogen can balance supply and demand mismatches\nProfessor Seamus Garvey – The importance of Medium Duration Energy Storage\n\nView the event video here \n\nView the video of ‘Energy Storage is Not Whiskey – Blends are Best!’

SUMMARY:Hydrogen: The case for UK-EU Collaboration\, London
DESCRIPTION:The UK and the EU both see hydrogen as essential to achieving net zero and both have extensive and well-funded policies to support it. Yet progress is far too slow. \nGreen hydrogen represents less than 1% of total production and still costs 6-14 times more than grey hydrogen. Only a tiny fraction of green or blue hydrogen projects have reached final investment decision. \nIn many proposed applications\, hydrogen is being eclipsed by electrification. But in other areas\, hydrogen and its derivatives still look like the best or possibly only option: fertilizer\, shipping\, jet aviation and long-duration grid balancing. \nWhat’s more\, regardless of the higher production costs of cleaner forms of hydrogen\, its system benefits in terms of greater energy security and lower overall energy system costs still look potentially enormous. \nIt is therefore time to take stock. Both the UK and the EU need to ask what their policy is getting wrong and whether they could make faster progress\, and at lower cost\, by working together. \nIn 2024\, HyDEX (Hydrogen Development and Knowledge Exchange) and ERA (Energy Research Accelerator) held a series of summits in Brussels and London where academics\, policymakers and industrialists examined the issue of hydrogen collaboration between the UK and EU. \nAt this FREE event at the Institution of Mechanical Engineers in London\, ERA and HyDEX will be launching their ‘UK-EU Hydrogen Policy Report’ with a host of speakers from industry and the public sector\, outlining the case for UK-EU collaboration\, with specific recommendations to develop hydrogen infrastructure\, markets and policy.
