Low Carbon Technologies
Demanding new European and national emissions targets mean low carbon technologies are more important than ever before. EA Technology has world class experience and expertise in the assessment of many diverse technologies for demand side management, micro-generation systems, electrical energy storage, fuel cells and hydrogen systems, heat pumps, solar thermal systems and energy saving devices. It can provide guidance for the safe, legal and effective integration of distributed generation and can help to prove the business case for low carbon technology through:-
- Detailed technical assessment of new technologies
- Specialist laboratory testing and/or test house trials
- Modelling and foresighting studies
- Comprehensive Field Trials
- Technical Due Diligence
Low Carbon Technologies
While there is a considerable demand for new low carbon technologies, as industries and governments strive to reduce emissions of greenhouse gasses, there is also a good deal of competition in the sector. EA Technology can add credibility and confidence to your low carbon project by conducting comprehensive and transparent tests to prove the viability of your technology, in the lab, in the field and on a network scale.
EA Technology is at the cutting edge of low carbon technologies, with over 20 years experience in the field, including many projects for the electrical utilities, (DNOs and suppliers); the private sector, (OEMs, system integrators and investors), and government agencies, (DECC, EST, IEA and Ofgem). We have carried out several CERT (Carbon Emission Reduction Targets) trials for equipment developers.
Our extensive experience and unrivalled understanding of the electricity industry means that we can not only show that your technology works, but also demonstrate its compatibility with existing technology, advising and demonstrating the best ways to connect safely, effectively and commercially and identifying any unexpected inter-operability issues.
New technology often involves a new understanding, and EA Technology can deliver a real insight into customer behaviour to help you understand the control and operational issues your technology will encounter in day to day use – factors that are often overlooked in lab studies or test house trials – to ensure your technology is practical as well as functional.
EA Technology can also offer Technical Due Diligence. This is the detailed assessment of a technology provider in terms of the performance of the technology; the company structure and management; its potential market; its supply chain and technical/commercial/regulatory barriers. This is of particular value to a venture capital company planning to invest in a relatively unknown company offering low carbon technology products, systems or services.
