A full day of honest conversation and fresh thinking, for the cost of just three coffees… £15 well spent, if you ask us.

There’s only a few spaces left, so register quick to join the action: https://t.co/yoZ567zhFo

Ask anyone in the heat pump world what's slowing things down and you'll get a long, honest list. The fix? Get them all in one room and let them set the agenda.

That's the idea behind the Heat Pump Unconference we're teaming up with Nesta to host on 22 June in Birmingham.

You'll also get a look at our Living Lab, a trials facility spanning more than 5,000 UK homes where clean energy tech gets tested for real. Plus, you’ll receive a tour of the hardware evaluation space, where devices are put through their paces before they reach anyone's home.

Senior Energy Policy Advisor Emily Ford sets out what CRIO would do and why it matters for UK scale-ups: https://t.co/EH2WQtDnX1

UK innovators need investors to trust emissions data. Right now, the system makes that harder than it should be.

[Energy Systems Catapult @EnergySysCat]

Our new report makes the case for a Carbon Reporting and Innovation Office (CRIO), a dedicated body that would align existing standards, reduce admin burden, and create a single point of disclosure for emissions data.

That's the gap Syselek is closing. Smarter optimisation now, bidirectional charging on the horizon.

Electric HGVs could be one of the biggest flexibility assets on the grid.

But at the moment, they're a risk.

[Energy Systems Catapult @EnergySysCat]

The challenge Bo keeps coming back to is the market. UK non-domestic tariff structures give fleet operators no clear financial reason to participate in flexibility. Most are still focused on the basics of electrification, not what comes next.

They focused on how synthetic data can meet the real-world challenge of maintaining privacy while getting the most revealing insights from smart data.

The UK's clean energy transition is only as good as the data behind it.

The Smart Energy Data Service (SENSE) is building that foundation, pooling datasets on EV access, real-world energy use & mobility patterns across the UK to give researchers & innovators a clearer picture.

Taking them through the datasets on offer, then running an interactive Summer Study workshop on a training dataset to show how they can be put to use.

UK businesses are spending time and money they don't have navigating a patchwork of carbon reporting rules.

The result is a system that creates cost and confusion rather than saving money and unleashing innovation.

[Energy Systems Catapult @EnergySysCat]

Better data that helps innovators attract investment, SMEs compete, and the government to make better decisions.

Carbon accounting is becoming essential infrastructure for the global economy. The UK has the expertise to lead on it. Right now, we're not set up to do that.
