As the need for a speedy transition towards a low carbon future grows, E4tech’s expertise in sustainable energy has never been so relevant. Over the past few months, we have been fortunate to add several valuable new team members. Dr Charlotte Kirk whose DPhil research in ammonia as a zero-carbon fuel to reversibly and sustainably store and transport hydrogen is already being put to good use. Cécile Geier is a bioprocess engineering expert and has utilised her broad engineering background to multiple projects across E4tech sectors.
The Bioenergy for Sustainable local energy services and Energy Access in Africa (BSEAA) programme, a constituent programme of the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office’s (FCDO)Transforming Energy Access (TEA) programme invites you to two webinars on
1. “Prospects for commercial biomass gasification in Sub-Saharan Africa”
3rd February 2021, 11.00 – 12:00 (GMT)
2. “Prospects for bioenergy development in seven market sectors in Sub-Saharan Africa: Preliminary findings”
10th February 2021,11.00 – 12.30 (GMT).
E4tech analysis, part of the Scottish Hydrogen Assessment led by Arup, suggests that the hydrogen industry could be worth up to £25 billion a year to Scotland by 2045.
The FLITE consortium, led by SkyNRG and with LanzaTech as the technology provider, will build the first-of-its-kind LanzaJetTM Alcohol to Jet (AtJ) facility. The facility will convert waste-based ethanol to sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) at a scale of over 30,000 tons/yr. The project received €20 million in grant funding from the EU H2020 programme and is a major milestone on the path to a net zero emission for the aviation industry. Sustainable aviation fuel is critical to reduce emissions from the aviation sector in the coming decades.
Industrial decarbonisation is rising on the agenda. In 2019, the campaign ‘Business Ambition for 1.5°C: Our Only Future’ was set up, calling for businesses to set science-based emissions reduction targets. The goal is to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 and limit global temperature increase to within 1.5°C. By November 2020, 323 companies had pledged a net-zero carbon commitment.
