DESNZ is seeking to procure a consortium to deliver a research programme to build the policy-relevant evidence base for decarbonisation of the industrial sector and carbon management.
The research will be spread across four main work packages on: 1.
Industrial Fuel switching including electrification and alternative fuels 2.
Resource and energy efficiency in industry 3.
Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage and engineered Greenhouse Gas Removals 4.
Life Cycle Assessment methods and applications in industry Additional work packages will include a: 5. flexible fund to respond to emerging evidence needs 6. data and stakeholder engagement work package underpinning the entire programme and additional stand-alone projects.
The programme will focus on building the required evidence base, translating existing evidence alongside new analysis and data collection and modelling to support decision-making in industrial decarbonisation.
Alongside this, a dissemination, knowledge transfer and policy translation role will be necessary to maximise impact of the research.
The programme will require expertise on a number of industrial sectors, decarbonisation measures, technology sustainability and cost assessment, interactions with other sectors and supply chains and understanding of policy contexts.
Methods to be employed will include literature reviews, quantitative and qualitative data collection, stakeholder engagement and interviews, modelling and analysis skills, project management and dissemination as well as policy analysis.
The scope of the programme necessitates a wide range of topical expertise and skills.
Outputs will likely include reports, data and models, decision support tools, case studies, teach-ins, and on-call briefings and scientific support.
The research and outputs will be co-designed with policy stakeholders to ensure policy relevance and will have built-in flexibility to respond to emerging policy needs.
To support potential suppliers with finding partners, a supplier partner engagement form is being provided which will allow suppliers to register their interest in identifying partners and their skills and expertise.
