DEPARTMENT FOR ENVIRONMENT, FOOD & RURAL AFFAIRS - HQ Thresholds: Establishing critical loads from theshold values
Status: Awarded
Published Date: 23/03/2015
Closing Date: 24/11/2014
Value: £34,840
HQ Thresholds: Establishing critical loads from theshold values - Under the Convention on Long Range Transboundary Air Pollution (CLRTAP), the UK will be requested by the Coordination Centre for Effects (CCE) to respond to a “Call for Data” by March 2015. The HQThresholds project (AQxxxx) will prepare for this response, developing Critical Load (CL) functions which describe the maximum nitrogen and sulphur deposition compatible with long-term protection of habitats. These functions will be based on acceptable limits for biodiversity, defined using a Habitat Quality Index (HQI) developed in Defra project AQ0828. Habitat specialists from the Statutory Nature Conservation Bodies (SNCBs) were consulted, and agreement was reached that the basis for a biodiversity indicator should be habitat suitability for positive indicator-species. UK results were presented at the 24th CCE Workshop in April 2014, and were instrumental in the decision by the CCE to request all Signatory Parties to provide data based on biodiversity indicator of this type. Threshold HQI values will be developed, below which a habitat should be considered damaged. Clearly there is more to biodiversity assessment than a binary choice (undamaged versus damaged) on a single axis, but this approach is necessary if biodiversity responses are to be explicitly included in CL modelling and integrated assessment of air pollution impacts. The HQI metric was selected as most clearly related to overall assessments of the quality of habitat examples by the specialists. To determine the most appropriate threshold values, HQI will be calculated for sites with deposition set to the empirical CLs for acidity and nutrient-N. The greater of the two resulting HQI values can also be seen as a good estimate for the threshold. Threshold HQI values will be assessed and a judgement made as to the most suitable value to use. The approach will be illustrated using examples.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY AND CLIMATE CHANGE - Research into Long-Term Liabilities in the Onshore Oil and Gas Industry
Status: Closed
Published Date: 20/03/2015
Closing Date: 07/04/2015
Value: £30,000
Research into Long-Term Liabilities in the Onshore Oil and Gas Industry - Description The overall aim of this research project is to inform the system governing long term liabilities in the onshore oil and gas industry. It is expected that any long-term risks in respect of abandoned onshore oil and gas wells are likely to be environmental risks relating specifically to operations. The project has two primary goals: • To research into the scope of existing insurance products in the oil and gas and other industries, and to inform the development of the necessary elements / framework to ensure that operators have access to the best instruments for funding and managing their long-term liabilities. • To research and inform DECC’s support for work by industry to develop an effective industry scheme for liabilities (including where a licensee is insolvent). And, building on examples from other industries or jurisdictions, indicate how Government could interact with any such scheme.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY AND CLIMATE CHANGE - Invitation to Tender for Assessment of the risks associated with certain biomass fuel sourcing scenarios
Status: Awarded
Published Date: 20/03/2015
Closing Date: 26/01/2015
Value: £112,160
Invitation to Tender for Assessment of the risks associated with certain biomass fuel sourcing scenarios - Research and development services and related consultancy services. Research and experimental development services. Research services. To procure a contractor to undertake a research project to assess the likely occurrence of selected biomass sourcing scenarios from North America identified in the recent DECC report “Lifecycle Impacts of Biomass Electricity in 2020 ’. The report showed that where bioenergy is sourced responsibly it produces lower carbon emissions than fossil fuels. However, the report also demonstrated that in some specific scenarios, biomass feedstock imported from North America and combusted in the UK could be more greenhouse gas (GHG) intensive than coal and natural gas. The 13 scenarios chosen for assessment in this follow up research project are those associated with the highest potential net greenhouse gas emissions occurring as a result of increased demand from the UK biomass electricity sector.Factors that will affect the likelihood of the relevant scenarios are expected to include: (i)the price of the feedstock assumed to be used now and in future relative to what UK generators currently pay and expect to pay in future; (ii)forestry management practices and (iii)standards and regulations in place in North America.The research project will involve determining whether the pellet types assumed to be used by UK generators in the selected scenarios would be affordable to UK generators now and out to 2030. To do this, the contractor should consider how supply and demand for the raw material used to produce the pellets will change out to 2030 and how supply and demand for the pellets will change out to 2030. The contractor should also consider whether there are factors other than price, such as forestry management practices, or forestry regulations that will influence the likelihood of the selected scenarios.The research will need to consider interactions between scenarios e.g. whether increased or reduced likelihood of one scenario will reduce or increase the likelihood of others. It should also identify any other likely or high impact (i.e. associated GHG emissions higher than for fossil fuels) identified throughout the course of the projectThe methodology developed by the contractor to determine and rate the likelihood of the scenarios occurring should be designed to allow DECC to incorporate other likely or high impact identified during the course of the project, or in future, into the analysis Further details of the research requirements and specific questions to be addressed are set out in the Invitation to Tender
