  5. Heat Energy Research Theme • ETP has been establishing a new research theme on “Heat Energy” in response to the Scottish Government’s emerging priority in the area of heat energy. • To establish a broad R&D network focusing on heat energy across Scotland, involving both academia and industry. • To provide a point of contact for the Scottish government when such expertise is needed. • To create an interface between the academia and industry • To facilitate collaboration and knowledge exchange in this area.      

  6. Heat Energy Theme Workgroup • Coordinator: Dr Zhibin Yu (based at University of Glasgow) • BDM: Dr Alistair Mccay (based at University of Glasgow) • Members across 12 partner universities • ~25 members so far, still growing, and more are welcome

  7. Heat Energy Theme Workgroup • Multi-disciplinary expertise for a multi-disciplinary challenge • Geothermal • Heat pumps • District heating networks • Heat energy storage • CHP / Bio-CHP • Heat demand • Solar thermal • Hydrogen generation / distribution • Numerical modelling • CFD / heat transfer / heat exchanger • Energy policy • Social science / user behaviour • Business model…

  8. Opportunities for collaboration • ETP Energy Industry Doctorate Programme • Industry Engagement Fund

  9. ETP Energy Industry Doctorate Programme • Each doctorate has two supervisors from different universities. • Companies are co-investors, support project specification and engage directly with the research • Average cost - £90k total; Up to £30k from ETP, remainder split between university and industry partner (can be in-kind).
