In partnership with the Advanced Propulsion Centre UK, we developed a collaborative project funded by the UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC) that combined Whole System analysis and Transport expertise. The Road to Zero Freight Emissions project explored different pathways for reducing freight emissions with a specific focus on Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs).

Electric vehicle sales are rising from a very low level. Uptake needs to spread beyond early adopters to the entire market. But around 30% of UK households have no access to off-street parking. This paper reports research exploring charging options for these households.

Energy Systems Catapult has selected three sectors highlighted recently in the Prime Minister’s 10-point plan, and produced Energy Landscapes to showcase the exciting UK innovation and supply chain in these areas. We would like you to have your say on who should appear in the final Electric Vehicle, Hydrogen, and Smart Heating & Cooling Landscapes.

The UK-India Green Business Portfolio features 24 British and Indian companies who are bringing innovative approaches to improving air quality, measuring pollution levels, and reducing traffic emissions by accelerating the transition to electric vehicles.

The Electric Vehicle Energy Taskforce made 21 proposals in January 2020 to ensure the energy system is able to accelerate the mass take-up of electric vehicles,. Energy Systems Catapult was central to analysing those proposals and recommending EVET focus on 10 high priority actions.

To coincide with World EV Day, Energy Systems Catapult has given innovators access to unique

Storage and Flexibility technologies to balance supply and demand across the energy system will become more indispensable on the path to Net Zero by 2050. This report investigates the potential of Vehicle to Grid technologies.

The Storage & Flexibility Net Zero Series comprises four reports looking at the role of of different storage technologies in providing flexibility to the energy system as we aim to achieve Net Zero carbon emissions by 2050.

Portsmouth International Port will be piloting a smart energy system to significantly decarbonise their energy operations as part of a new project, Port Energy Systems Optimisation.
