Decarbonising our industry is not only vital to the UK’s net zero ambitions but is critical to safeguard and grow the high value jobs that make this region thrive. “Led by industry, Net Zero North West is driving investment into the net zero economy and post COVID-19 green recovery in the North West. Our strength lies in the unrivalled number of initiatives already happening on the ground which offer sustainable investment opportunities in net zero and will see this region become a world leader in clean growth. “The North West has all the elements required to deliver a low carbon industrial cluster by 2030. Backed by industry, by regional leaders and by business we can deliver at speed and make a real contribution to net zero targets. “The roadmap and cluster plan are important parts of the journey, setting out for the first time a coherent vision for industrial decarbonisation. We are ready to rise to the challenge and deliver long lasting benefits for the region and beyond.” Ged Barlow, Executive Director, Net Zero North West: 3 Net Zero North West Cluster Plan Phase 1 : Shaping an Industrial Cluster Plan Executive Summary i. Net Zero North West is aiming to develop the UK’s first low carbon industrial cluster by 2030. Led by industry the cluster is driving investment into the net zero economy and post COVID-19 green recovery. This will create at least 33,000 jobs and see over £4bn invested in the region. The cluster will make a significant contribution to the UK’s legally binding target to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050, as well as local net zero carbon targets for Greater Manchester (2038), Liverpool City Region (2040) and Cheshire West and Chester (2045). ii. The Net Zero North West Cluster Plan (also known as the Cluster Plan) will set out a coherent vision for industrial decarbonisation in the North West of England and North East Wales. It will describe the investments, technologies, infrastructure changes and sequencing required to fulfil the UK’s Industrial Clusters Mission and deliver a transition to net zero. The project focuses on two key objectives: Establishing a low-carbon industrial cluster by 2030, by deploying anchor investment projects including HyNet hydrogen and Carbon Capture, Utilisation, and Storage (CCUS) infrastructure Establishing a net zero carbon industrial cluster by 2040, underpinned by multi- vectored industrial decarbonisation solutions iii. The North West boasts the largest concentration of advanced manufacturing and chemical production in the UK and is home to a concentration of energy intensive users. The region of North Cheshire alone uses 5% of UK power. The largest industries in the cluster account for over 6 million tonnes of carbon emissions per year, from diverse facilities that include oil refining, downstream processing, cement, fertiliser production, glass manufacturing, base chemicals, food manufacturing, automotive, and personal care products. Further industrial emissions are associated with other industry across the broader NW region, extending up to Lancashire and Cumbria. Several manufacturing and light industrial businesses reliant on energy intensive processes are located in business parks with the potential to employ shared infrastructure, including heat networks, smart grids and decentralised generation. Net Zero North West This newly launched body will act as an industry voice sponsoring the creation of the Cluster Plan and includes representation from energy intensive industry and local government. Its role will be to promote investment in the decarbonisation of industry and to represent the Cluster outside the region. 4 Net Zero North West Cluster Plan Phase 1 : Shaping an Industrial Cluster Plan Phase 1 Programme Activity iv. This report summarises the work undertaken during Phase 1 to shape the creation of a cluster plan at Phase 2. Findings from Phase 1 are included in the main body of the report. Outcomes from Phase 1 are: Industry Engagement v. Led by North West Business Leadership Team and supported by Cheshire Energy Hub and Peel L&P Environmental, outreach activities included: Engagement with energy intensive industry through regional forums Online promotion of the activity, inviting organisations to express interest Engagement with business networks through regional forums Engagement with project developers, network operators, academic researchers Engagement with North West LEPs and North Wales Economic Ambition Board Creation of Net Zero North West as a sponsor of the Cluster Plan and an industrial engagement strategy to be delivered during Phase 2. Research Activity vi. Progressive Energy Limited researched and delivered a summary report (Annex A), detailing: CO2 emissions data, identifying and mapping 95% of sources of industrial carbon emissions in the Cluster geography, delivering a database for use in Phase 2 Review of significant industrial cluster projects, with recommendations as to how these could be considered in an energy infrastructure model at Phase 2 Recommendations for alignment of the Cluster Plan with IDC Deployment at Phase 2 vii.

Figure 0.1: Industrial Carbon Emissions and Installations Source: Industrial Cluster Research Phase 1 6 Net Zero North West Cluster Plan Phase 1 : Shaping an Industrial Cluster Plan Business Case viii. Cheshire and Warrington LEP, with support of consultant Hatch Regeneris, delivered an Industrial Cluster Strategic business case recommendations report and assisted the preparation of this report. ix. The University of Chester liaised with academic institutions and the Industrial Decarbonisation Research & Innovation Centre (IDRIC) to deliver a review of the wider benefits and socioeconomic impacts of industrial decarbonisation in the North West (Annex C). Programme Outputs x. Peel L&P Environmental supported the programme as Project Lead and with Local Energy North West Hub (Growth Platform) acting in a programme management role, co-ordinating research findings. xi. Final outputs were accompanied by a project exploitation plan and an Industrial Cluster Plan Phase 2 Application. Phase 2 Programme Design xii. The Net Zero NW Cluster Plan will define the steps necessary to mitigate carbon emissions from industrial production to net zero by 2040. It will articulate how the HyNet Deployment project and other activity will come forward in the next decade to achieve significant reductions in industrial carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, including but not limited to: The contribution that CCUS can make to decarbonising industrial process emissions across the cluster geography Supply of hydrogen from dedicated anchor network infrastructure to enable fuel switching in the energy intensive industries contributing the majority of emissions by 2030 Supply of hydrogen to foundation and manufacturing industries where practically and economically feasible to do so, including distributed hydrogen supply to installations remote from the planned hydrogen pipeline network Quantify the proportion of total emissions to be mitigated through different scenarios over time Consider how increasing amounts of ‘green’ hydrogen can be produced from a range of sources and supply this networks infrastructure Consider the medium and long term opportunities and constraints upon the storage of hydrogen and sequestration of carbon xiii. The Cluster Plan will identify the need for additional infrastructure and develop a timeline for investment that considers the interaction of different solutions. It will consider: Future scenarios: Total regional demand for energy and energy mix by 2040 Baseline: Scenarios for the growth, contraction and transformation of industry Consumers: The impact of energy efficiency and investment

  • Science and Technology in Society (SATIS) Book 6
    , SCIENCE & 1 - TECHNOLOGY 0 IN SOCIETY ~ • • • ABOUT SATIS Science and Technology in Society units are designed to be used in conjunction with conventional science courses, particularly those leading to GCSE examinations. Each unit has links to major science topics as well as exploring important social and technological applications and issues. The units are self-contained and generally require about 2 periods (around 75 minutes) of classroom time. Each unit comprises Teachers' Notes (blue sheets) and Students' materials (white sheets). Full guidance on use is given in the Teachers' Notes accompanying each unit, which also include background information and suggest further resources. Each SATIS book contains ten units. The units are numbered in a system giving the number of the book followed by the number of the unit within that book. Thus the first unit in the first SATIS book is numbered 10l. In addition to the SATIS books, a general Teacher's Guide to the project is available, giving guidance on some of the teaching techniques involved as well as ideas for further activities. Many people from schools, universities,. industry and the professions have contributed to the writing, development and trials of the SATIS project. A full list of contributors appears in the Teachers' Guide. The material which follows may be reproduced without infringing copyright provided reproduction isfor student use only.

  • Optimal Non-Linear Income Tax When Highly Skilled Individuals Vote with Their Feet
    Incorporating the Price of Quality in Efficiency Analysis: the Case of Electricity Distribution Regulation in the UK William Yu, Tooraj Jamasb and Michael Pollitt July 2007 CWPE 0736 and EPRG 0713 Incorporating the Price of Quality in Efficiency Analysis: The Case of Electricity Distribution Regulation in the UK William Yu *, Tooraj Jamasb, Michael Pollitt Abstract Efficiency analysis of electricity distribution networks is often limited to technical or cost efficiency measures. However, some important non-tradable aspects of their service such as quality of service and network energy losses are generally not part of the analysis. A regulatory concern is that technical efficiency can be achieved at the expense of these measures as well as allocative efficiency. Valuation of service quality for inclusion in regulatory models is particularly difficult. This paper presents an approach to measure and incorporate service quality and energy losses in analysis of technical and allocative efficiency of the utilities. We calculate technical and allocative efficiency of the 14 distribution networks in the UK between 1990/91 and 2003/04 using the Data Envelopment Analysis technique. We find that efficiency measures improved during the first (1990/91-1994/95) and second (1995/96-1999/00) distribution price control reviews and exhibited a slight decline during the third (2000/01-2004/05) review period. We find relatively low allocative efficiency - i.e. a mismatch in allocating resources among expenditures, service quality, and energy losses. The results suggest that the utilities may not be sufficiently incentivised to achieve socially optimal input bundles under the current incentive scheme. Keywords: efficiency, Data Envelopment Analysis, electricity, quality of service, willingness-to-pay.

Registered in England No. 02366937 SUMMARY The North Wales Wind Farms Connection Project is a major electrical infrastructure development project, involving several wind farm developers and the local Distribution Network Operator – SP Manweb plc (SP Manweb). The development of on-shore wind generation in Wales is guided by the Welsh Government’s energy strategy, initially published in 2003. In their Technical Advice Note (TAN) 8: renewable energy (2005) the Welsh Government identified 7 Strategic Search Areas (SSAs) as potential locations for wind generation, of which area A is in North Wales. During the past 20 years, approximately 220 MW of wind generation (both onshore and offshore) have been connected to the SP Manweb distribution network in North Wales. Within the TAN 8 SSA A, SP Manweb is currently contracted to connect a further four wind farms[1] which have received planning consent and total 170 MW of generation. SP Manweb has a statutory duty to offer terms to connect new generating stations to its distribution system.
