Realising Net-zero Liverpool

利物浦在向净零碳能源转型方面面临着复杂、相互关联的非技术障碍。在利物浦市议会(LCC)的领导下，第二阶段将展示一种创新的系统性方法来拆除这些障碍，创建并展示可在全市和英国复制的解决方案。该项目涵盖多个能源**载体**、**障碍**和能源**最终使用部门**。这种巨大的广度是平衡的，并通过具体的**示范项目**--第一阶段确定的一套针对特定地点的干预措施--说明了障碍，并展示了解决方案。涉及三个能源载体(电力、热量、交通)的五组障碍被解决：1)能源终端用户支持薄弱；2)经济模型和投资案例不足；3)私人/公共能力和技能不足，无法在全市范围内提供；4)需要改变的规划框架；例如，无论是对于家庭供热和电力，还是对系泊船舶或公共交通的电气化，能源网络的设计和运营仍然是一个主要障碍：1)最终用户需要了解扰乱他们日常优先事项所产生的好处；2)经济理由必须清楚；3)交付能力需要足够；4)规划必须考虑到干预；最后5)它们的设计必须可复制用于其他地方。两个最终使用部门的范围：1)新的住宅和工业发展场地；以及2)国内脱碳和改造。范例包括岸电(以取代系泊船舶中重燃料油的使用)、来自城市公园的地源热能为当地供热网络、庇护住房改造、列入市中心名单的建筑、休闲中心能源枢纽和一个主要的新住房开发项目。调查结果将提供给创新的净零工具，用于在同类基础上比较个别干预措施，以及在城市范围/区域层面上进行宏观层面的规划。拟议中的气候操作系统软件覆盖全球，将使利物浦能够与英国、欧洲和美国的其他城市进行比较。该财团由承诺的私人、公共和学术合作伙伴组成，有实力在随后的第三阶段提供样本。LCC是主要召集人，拥有广泛的地产；Forward Homees拥有6000多套住房；SPEN拥有并运营当地电网；丽晶资本是本地活跃的资产管理公司；新资源合作伙伴和分散能源解决方案带来了新的净零软件，完成了自2020年以来的活跃合作伙伴关系。

Liverpool faces complex, interconnected non-technical barriers to delivery of its transition to net-zero carbon energy. Led by Liverpool City Council (LCC), Phase Two will demonstrate an innovative systemic approach to dismantling these barriers, creating and demonstrating solutions that can be replicated across the city and the UK.The project covers multiple energy **vectors**, **barriers**, and energy **end-use sectors**. This great breadth is counter-balanced and channelled through specific **Exemplar Projects** -- a set of location-specific interventions identified in Phase One -- in which barriers are illustrated, and solutions demonstrated.Five sets of barriers are addressed across three energy vectors (power, heat, transport): 1) weak energy-end-user support; 2) inadequate economic models and investment case; 3) inadequate private/public capacity and skills to deliver city-wide; 4) a planning framework in need of change; and 5) scaling/ replication challenges ranging from inadequate supply chains to absent city-wide alignment.For example, whether for domestic heat and power or for electrifying moored shipping or public transport, the design and operation of energy networks remains a major barrier: 1) end-users need to understand the benefits resulting from disrupting their everyday priorities; 2) the economic case must be clear; 3) delivery capacity needs to be sufficient; 4) planning must allow for interventions; and lastly 5) their design must be replicable for use elsewhere.Two end-use sectors are in scope: 1) new residential and industrial development sites; and 2) domestic decarbonisation and retrofit. Exemplars include shore power (to replace heavy fuel oil use in moored shipping), ground-source heat from city parks to feed local heat networks, sheltered housing retrofit, city-centre listed buildings, leisure centre energy hubs, and a major new housing development.Findings will feed into innovative net-zero tools, for comparison of individual interventions on a like-for-like basis, as well as at city-wide / regional level to enable planning at the macro scale. The ClimateOS software proposed has a world-wide reach and will enable Liverpool to compare approaches with other cities in the UK, Europe and the US.The consortium comprises committed private, public and academic partners with the heft to deliver the Exemplars in a subsequent Phase Three. LCC is the key convenor and has a wide estate; Onward Homes owns over 6000 homes; SPEN owns and operates the local grid; Regent Capital is a locally active Asset Manager; and New Resource Partners and Decentralised Energy Solutions bring new net-zero software, completing an active partnership in place since 2020\.
