Realising Net-zero Liverpool

利物浦在向净零碳能源过渡的过程中面临着复杂的、相互关联的非技术性障碍。由利物浦市理事会（LCC）牵头，第二阶段将展示一种创新的系统性方法，以消除这些障碍，创造和展示可在整个城市和英国复制的解决方案。该项目涵盖多种能源 ** 载体 **、** 障碍 ** 和能源 ** 终端使用部门 **。这一巨大的广度通过具体的 ** 示范项目 ** 得到平衡和引导-第一阶段确定的一套针对具体地点的干预措施-其中说明了障碍，并展示了解决办法。（电力、热力、交通）：1）对能源终端用户的支持薄弱; 2）经济模式和投资案例不足; 3）私营/公共部门在全市范围内提供服务的能力和技能不足; 4）需要改变的规划框架; 5）从供应链不足到缺乏城市范围内的可扩展性/可复制性挑战。例如，无论是对于家庭供热和电力，还是对于固定的航运或公共交通，能源网络的设计和运营仍然是一个主要障碍：1）最终用户需要了解中断其日常优先事项所带来的好处; 2）经济案例必须明确; 3）交付能力必须足够; 4）规划必须允许干预;最后5）其设计必须可复制用于其他地方。范围内有两个最终用途部门：1）新的住宅和工业开发用地; 2）国内脱碳和改造。示例包括海岸电力（以取代停泊船舶中使用的重质燃油），城市公园的地源热，以满足当地供热网络，庇护住房改造，市中心上市建筑，休闲中心能源中心，以及一个主要的新住房开发。调查结果将输入创新的净零工具，用于在类似的基础上比较个别干预措施，以及在城市/区域一级，以便进行宏观规划。所提议的ClimateOS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方法比较。该联盟由承诺的私人、公共和学术合作伙伴组成，他们有能力在随后的第三阶段提供Exemplars。LCC是主要召集人，拥有广泛的房地产; Onward Homes拥有6000多个家庭; SPEN拥有并运营当地电网; Regent Capital是当地活跃的资产管理公司; New Resource Partners和Decentralised Energy Solutions带来了新的净零软件，自2020年以来完成了积极的合作伙伴关系。

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\.
