Big Ideas ERA

As ERA reaches the end of its £60 million capital build programme, which has focused on the development of 23 test and demonstration facilities, it has been through a process of examining how to apply its academic capability and facilities to a series of major research, development and demonstration challenges which face the UK as it accelerates the delivery of low-carbon solutions towards 2050. This has resulted in a series of ‘Big Ideas’ focussed on:

Implementation and demonstration of next-generation fuels;
Medium-term, large-scale, energy storage;
Integrating the circular economy with zero carbon and CCUS acceleration;
Grid-scale electricity system modelling for future-proofing infrastructure;
A National Centre for Decarbonisation of Heat, NCDH, and
Behavioural transition for a low-carbon future.

The full document of the Big Ideas can be viewed along with the ERA Into the next ERA document.
