Low-carbon economy scenario building and roadmapping
Bryte Energy advises on strategic issues relating to low-carbon energy systems that offer sustainability for the future of the energy industry.Bryte Energy Ltd carries out scenario building and roadmapping activities for future energy systems using our in-house FESA (Future Energy Scenario Assessment) software model.
Of particular interest is the topical debate about the "hydrogen economy" that many anticipate will be necessary for the building of a sustainable future. With expertise in both hydrogen and renewable energy systems, Bryte Energy is well placed to understand the bigger picture when considering complete energy systems. This rare perspective allows us to bring fresh insight to the development of scenarios for future low-carbon economies and the roadmapping activities used in developing strategies for realising a truly sustainable energy future.
Our expertise enables a clearer critical assessment of the many assumptions about such a vision, thus challenging some of the prevailing preconceptions about the nature of a hydrogen economy. Specific studies have also been undertaken to assess large-scale energy storage and the viability of non-fossil hydrogen production via electrolysis.
Bryte Energy's FESA (Future Energy Scenario Assessment) model can be used to build and test future energy scenario options. Using environmental, technical and financial parameters, FESA can derive the most economic energy mix to serve all sectors, while meeting a range of user-definable targets. This tool is typically applied to answering questions about the future viability of emerging low-carbon, and other energy technologies, and assessing their potential market size. Examples include studies on:
- The role of energy storage in low-carbon energy systems
- The role of hydrogen in sustainable energy systems
- Grid balancing mechanisms for networks containing a significant proportion of renewable generation
- The integration of low-carbon transport into energy infrastructures
