The ENBIO project, funded by Zero Waste Scotland, investigates the use of renewable energy for algal bio-production to enable new industry in rural areas and increase the strength of the rural circular economy. Scene Connect has been commissioned by ENBIO lead ALienergy to build an economic assessment tool that looks at powering Xanthella’s algae production system with community renewable energy in the Scottish highlands.
On behalf of Coigach Community Development Company (CCDC), Scene are undertaking an options appraisal and feasibility study for the local supply of locally generated energy. CCDC are stakeholders in both a local hydro scheme and wind turbine.
Scene have been working in partnership with Community Energy England to deliver the second edition of the Community Energy State of the Sector Report 2018.
This research provides an overview of the community energy sector in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. It is the most comprehensive evaluation of the community energy sector and provides a quantitative basis for the ongoing support of, and advocacy for, community energy in the UK.
Most of renewable energy growth has occurred among variable technologies (wind power and solar PV), raising concerns about integrating large shares of variable generation into power systems. Establishing Mutually Beneficial Local Energy Markets (EMBLEM) will test the feasibility of a pioneering energy trading system for local energy economies, that aims to be a cost-effective demand-response solution to securing efficient energy supply.
Indian agriculture is currently responsible for 22% and 85% of India’s total electricity and water consumption respectively. A main objective of SCORRES is the development of financially viable, robust, location specific irrigation systems for the Indian agricultural sector, based on clean energy and storage.
Smart Biogas Networks aims to create a system, built on digestor integrated sensors, that allows better fault prevention and detection in the biogas market - leading to more efficiencent operation and happier customers. This pilot project is taking place in Tanzania alongside leading UK and international partners.
The Poor People's Energy Outlook series (PPEO) was launched in 2010 to shine a light on energy access from the perspectives of the poor. By drawing on the realities of energy-poor people, the PPEO series has been hugely influential in re-framing the energy access narrative.
