Biorefinery Roadmap for Scotland launched
Yesterday the Biorefinery Roadmap for Scotland was launched at the Industrial Biotechnology Leadership Forum Showcase in London. The roadmap sets out a plan for biorefining to contribute to growing the industrial biotechnology sector in Scotland from £189m in 2012 to £900m by 2025, as laid out in the National Plan for Industrial Biotechnology. E4tech contributed […]
Joint E4tech and ICCT study shows growth potential in low-carbon fuel supply in the Pacific Coast
A new study by ICCT and E4tech shows that the targets in the low-carbon fuel policies adopted or proposed by the governments of British Columbia, California, Oregon, and Washington can be met with a range of low-carbon fuel options, and that by 2030 low-carbon fuels could reduce CO2 emissions in the region by over 60 […]
E4tech and Ricardo-AEA to run UK hydrogen refuelling station competition
Today, the UK Government’s Office for Low Emission Vehicles (OLEV) launched the Hydrogen Refuelling Stations infrastructure grant scheme. Grant funding of up to £5.5 million will be made available to support a UK hydrogen fuelling network capable of servicing fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs). This will go to building new stations and to upgrade appropriate […]
EU 2030 Road Transport Decarbonisation Scenario Analysis
In 2014 the Brazilian Sugarcane Industry Association (UNICA) commissioned E4tech to evaluate the potential for decarbonising the road transport sector to 2030 and assess the potential role of policies such as the Fuel Quality Directive (FQD). The study is very timely in the light of the recent EU 2030 Energy and Climate Package proposals that […]
Swansea honours fuel cell pioneer Sir William Grove
