PS23223 - Updating industrial energy efficiency evidence on energy and carbon savings potential

Descriptions

***** THIS IS AN AWARD NOTICE, NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION ***** This procurement is being concluded following a mini competition under the RM6126 DPS Research & Insights Framework. Brief Description of Requirement The purpose of this research is to improve the evidence on the potential for energy and carbon savings from energy efficiency (EE) measures and technologies for industrial processes. This will provide stronger evidence to support analysis of industrial decarbonisation for carbon budget setting and better inform policy development. The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) plan to share this evidence with the Climate Change Committee (CCC) to influence their Carbon Budget 7 (CB7) modelling and subsequent advice for placing restrictions on UK greenhouse gas emission over CB7 (2038-2042) . This research needs final analytical outputs by the end of June 2024 in order for DESNZ to meet the CCC's CB7 analysis timelines. The final report and handover of material is required by the end of August 2024.
