One of the key developments of the marine energy industry in the UK is the demonstration of near commercial scale devices in real sea conditions and the collection of performance and environmental data to inform permitting and licensing processes.The ETI’s ReDAPT (Reliable Data Acquisition Platform for Tidal) project saw an innovative 1MW buoyant tidal generator installed at the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) in Orkney in January 2013.The project demonstrated the performance of the tidal...

The purpose of the SMR Deployment Enablers project was to identify the activities needed to take place in the first five years of a development plan for UK SMRs and the necessary capability of the SMR utility/developer organisation during this phase. Selection processes are out of scope so the starting assumption for the project is that both the SMR utility/developer and reactor vendor have already been identified.

ETI’s Project Manager Paul Winstanley presents “Waste gasification with syngas clean up - reaching commercial demonstration and future prospects in the wider bioenergy sector” at Aston University


The presentation covers:Who are ETIWhy is Bioenergy ImportantWhy Waste as a feedstockWhy GasificationWhat is the ETI doing to enable commercialisation of gasification

The techno-economic project will provide a greater understanding of the options available to modify or improve the physical and chemical characteristics of different types of UK-derived 2nd generation energy biomass feedstocks, that may otherwise reduce the cost-effective performance of conversion technologies

This report (Deliverable 6) presents prioritised recommendations for further research into pre-processing technologies following the analysis of ten supply chains, two of which generate heat, and eight generating power to compare their costs, efficiencies and...

This document is Appendix C of the Energy from Waste UK Benefits Case (Deliverable 2 of 2 in Work Package 4).The ETI commissioned C.A.R.E. Ltd. to provide an assessment of the current pyrolysis and gasification technology status (at system level including the process technology itself and gas clean-up), with detailed justification based on real site/project operational data and experience, and recommendations for factors to take into account in future work.

There is increasing commercial interest in the pyrolysis of biomass and wastes to form pyrolysis oil, a dark liquid that is sometimes colloquially referred to as bio-crude oil. However, it is not compatible with crude oil or the refining processes used to produce hydrocarbons (including fuels) and petrochemicals. Currently pyrolysis oils are mostly used as a low grade fuel to generate heat and power.Current processes for the production of biofuels for blending into transport fuels...

Planting second generation (2G) energy crops such as Miscanthus and Short Rotation Coppice (SRC) Willow can provide an opportunity for farmers to diversify their income and increase the productivity of their land. To understand more about how farmers have integrated 2G energy crops into their wider farm business, the ETI commissioned three case studies to capture successful transitions to Miscanthus and SRC Willow, examining the financial impact of the crops and understanding how the farmers...
