Carbon Budgets 5

Energy Innovation Spending review 2015 Doubled DECC innovation budget £505 million over 5 years £250m on nuclear research Mission Innovation 20 countries Doubling clean energy R&D over 5 years 6

Climate Research 7 MOHC Climate Programme £16m/year Co-funded w/ Defra

Key RD&D Priorities Themes Heat Energy efficiency Smart Renewables & storage Industrial energy Nuclear Climate change Needs In-depth understanding Innovative ways of operating Cost reduction Forecasting 8 While our RD&D priorities are shaped by policy needs, we recognise that long-term research in other areas is also crucial.

Heat 45% of all energy use ~1/3 of GHG emissions Cost-effective, low-carbon vectors are needed 9 Breakdown of final energy consumption in the UK Source: Energy Consumption in the UK, 2014

Energy Efficiency Barriers Expensive, disruptive, specialist skills & knowledge required. 10 We need Tools & approaches to overcome these barriers Innovation materials Better energy performance in products Source: NEED 2016

Smart Policy Smart meters in most homes by 2020 Capabilities to handle and utilise large datasets needed 11 Source: inovtech.org.hk Innovative ideas & technologies At all scales To create effective, resilient and balanced energy systems Securely

Renewables Grid-scale storage Balance intermittency Integrated smart technology Cost-reduction For all renewable technologies Need to be cost-competitive Offshore wind Strong global position 12 Source: DUKES 2015

Nuclear New nuclear Small modular reactors Gen IV Fast reactors Life-cycle innovations Fabrication, generation, construction Decommissioning, waste management, disposal, legacy 13 Part of our energy pathway to decarbonisation

Industrial Energy CCS & CCU Cost & operability improvements needed Energy efficiency New vectors & fuels Heat recovery 14 Source: cleantechnica.com
