Fast-track heat decarbonisation with Low-Carbon Heat Blueprints
Implementing heat decarbonisation typically achieves 50-70% of site emissions reduction. But with such a wide array of technical options, and the associated high opportunity cost, how do you ensure you are making the right choice?
In this Q&A, we discuss how a Low-Carbon Heat Blueprint can help reduce confusion and investment stress.
There are too many (costly) options for heat decarbonisation. Where should an organisation look to narrow down their options?
Having worked in the industry for decades, the Verco team knows how overwhelming this process can be. We already know the options and the emerging trends in heat decarbonisation, saving you time and internal resources that would otherwise be spent on research.
Our team starts by finding out about a client’s process constraints and matching this to their operations’ context. Our deep technology and process expertise allows us to develop a clear rationale for considering and screening solutions. We then align with the site teams on the key selection criteria relevant to the site context.
The prospect of locking operations into stranded assets is worrying. How can a business avoid this?
Focusing on demand reduction at the start is crucial, as snap decisions can lead to technological dead ends and options that lock you into high carbon-emitting solutions for years. The Verco team starts by reviewing your heat distribution, before you make any decisions on technology. Our engineers analyse the best available data to heat-profile your operations and explain how heat use, generation and distribution can be optimised. This is then embedded in the options analysis.
My business needs a credible project definition for heat decarbonisation before investing further time and effort. How do we get there?
A successful investment pitch needs research, technical knowledge, risk assessment and confidence. That’s why our experts provide you with an evidence-backed and clear direction on risk-ranked, viable solution concepts. This ensures your business is fully informed of the credible options with indicative investment ranges, carbon and cost savings. Then, you’ll be able to compare your investment options and lay the foundations for a data-supported business case.
