Unlocking the Efficiency Gains of Heat Pumps: The Role of Electricity and Gas Prices

This briefing paper, the first in a series of three, considers the challenge of realising the potential household energy bill savings associated with switching to more energy efficient heat pumps posed by the high price of electricity relative to gas.

Emissions from NAEI large point sources - UK manufacturing sector

This file provides a harmonised data for the UK main manufacturing industry based on the NAEI 2020 data https://naei.beis.gov.uk/data/map-large-source, which can be used for analysis and modelling.Since the original NAEI data include sites that do not fall within the definition of manufacturing industry, we created this harmonised data for ease of use. We classified the sectors into: Iron and steel, Chemicals, Cement, Food and drink, Paper, Refining, Lime, Glass, Ceramics, Other minerals, and Other industry. We also converted the 'Easting' and 'Northing' to 'Latitude' and 'Longitude'.

Public Perceptions of Energy Disruptions

Energy systems are changing rapidly, bringing new types of risks, and new forms of potential disruption to energy supplies. Our growing dependence on energy, particularly electricity, means that more than ever we need to plan for disruptions and be prepared for them. What happens during the disruption is important: we need to understand how individuals, communities and organisations experience the event, and what measures can be taken to reduce the overall impacts. This study investigates how people...

Perception Spillover From Fracking, 2022

Public opposition to new energy technology can harm the chances of successful deployment. Less is known about knock-on effects on the wider energy system, including whether such opposition impacts public perceptions of other technologies. Here we present a mixed-methods study into perception spillover, examining whether the controversy over fracking for oil and gas affects public attitudes to two novel low-carbon energy technologies: deep enhanced geothermal systems, and green hydrogen.
