ETP Energy Innovation Emporium 2018

Monday 23rd April 2018

On the 23rd April ETP will host the 2nd Energy Innovation Emporium, to convene the energy community to inform Scotland's energy future. Participants come from academia, industry and public bodies. By debating energy policy, we will identify avenues of cooperation, and define research & investment needs.

The recent publication by the Scottish Government of the Energy Strategy sets a vision for the future of Scotland’s energy sector to supply secure, reliable and affordable energy. With this vision comes a set of challenges and opportunities for industry, the public sector, and academia to work together in developing the innovation required to meet the challenging climate change ambitions. There are questions around the decarbonisation of heat, the integration of EVs into the grid, the reality of Hydrogen as an energy vector, and implications of setting energy productivity as a target.

This conference brings together industry, the public sector and academia to discuss innovation for the Energy Strategy. Key academics and businesses will present their research expertise & needs, from which the conference will identify avenues of cooperation that will support the Energy Strategy.

Confirmed Speakers:
  • Philip New, CEO of the Energy Systems Catapult;
  • Sonja Chirico Indrebø, VP Strategy & Innovation at Statoil
  • Kersti Berge, Head of Scotland, OFGEM

By attending this event you will also participate in Theme Sessions designed to help you identify opportunities for innovation. There will be the chance to take part in 1-2-1s for networking and knowledge exchange, hear from academics across Scotland about their research, learn about funding mechanisms that support innovation.

Delegate Fee £30 (including lunch and drinks reception)

The Scottish Energy Strategy sets two ambitious targets for the Scottish energy system by 2030, for ‘the equivalent of 50% of the energy for Scotland's heat, transport and electricity consumption to be supplied from renewable sources’ and for ‘an increase by 30% in the productivity of energy use across the Scottish economy’. 

With such an ambitious vision set out for energy in Scotland, the panel session will focus on how it will be achieved and what plans need to be implemented. The session will delve into the recent government commitment to support remote island offshore wind projects, a potential game changer for Scotland, as well as the growth of the offshore wind pipeline and the role of wind at the energy system level.

 Overview of wave and tidal energy case for intervention study, which investigates GVA scenarios for potential future wave and tidal energy deployments. Methodology and outcomes presented. We will focus on challenges associated with next-generation energy conversion and storage including batteries, fuel cells, hydrogen generation, supercapacitors, thermoelectrics and solar photovoltaics. Attendees will share experience and views on technological barriers to wider adoption and application. As well as challenges associated with individual technologies, we will discuss performance barriers to integration into a wider energy system.

What technologies need to be developed and by whom in order to meet the 2050 targets, and when do they need to be ready by? The Scottish Government’s Energy Strategy & Scottish Energy Efficiency Programme (SEEP) highlight the importance of managing energy consumption more effectively, and in order to do so a number of targets have been set for the built environment and heat supply by 2032. This session will hear from a number of speakers from across the sector to examine their perspective of how the targets can be met and barriers overcome. This will be followed by a panel discussion.

With the challenge of the current oil price and the increase of decommissioning in North Sea and other regions, what is next for the Oil and Gas sector?  The session will explore the current trends and where the sector might go including the need for new technologies and the possibilities of diversification.

Decarbonising the economy involves infrastructure as well as technology challenges.  The right infrastructure, in the right place and time is essential. This session will discuss how CCS alongside electricity and the gas and hydrogen network may be considered in terms of their infrastructure needs and their role to decarbonise heat, power, transport and industrial processes.

 

More than half of Scotland's heat is used by the industrial sector, with high temperature and intermittent demand. This session presents examples of successful implementation of renewable heat for industrial processes, to spark discussion over how these technologies can be more widely adopted.

 

Bioenergy is in a unique position to provide liquid, gas and energy storage options whilst eliminating stresses on base load demand, both for electricity and gas.  Furthermore, Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS)  provides unique opportunities for energy solutions to become carbon negative.  The road to this vision is paved with problems, from a technical, environmental and policy perspective.  This session will address these issues and identify a coherent way to seek solutions.
