38. Proposed Approach We are looking to support innovative projects that will help drive down the cost of energy for offshore wind and facilitate next generation floating wind farm developments. We are looking for projects addressing subtopic 2: Demonstration of innovative technologies to enable future large scale deployment of offshore renewable energy. We are looking to engage in projects looking at both innovative wind turbines (also wave & tidal) and grid infrastructure. We are looking for partners developing consortia with clear demonstration plans. ORE Catapult have strong research teams working on electrical infrastructures, drivetrains blades and floating wind platforms, key support areas include: grid integration, dynamic cables, power convertor technologies / power take off, structural health monitoring, condition monitoring, blade inspection amounts others. System Organisational Capabilities ORE Catapult is a UK based research and technology organisation with >£250 million in test and validation assets for offshore renewable energy technology development. Our mission is to accelerate the creation and growth of UK companies in the ORE Sector. We have centres of excellence focused on floating offshore wind, operations and maintenance with strong links to UK and EU research institutes. Our expertise is in driving innovation from TRL4- TRL7+. Experience ORE Catapult have been engaged in a wide range of H2020 in the offshore wind environment including: TotalControl, Lifes50+, Demowind, LEP4BLADEs, OPTIMOR, RiaSoR. These projects cover a range of wind turbine component and fullscale device innovation and development. 1. TotalControl. The H2020 TotalControl project will deliver continued cost reduction for offshore wind by developing and validating advanced, integrated wind turbine and wind array control schemes, where all essential interactions between the turbines in an array are accounted for, including both production and load aspects 2. Lifes50+. The H2020 Lifes50+ project focusses on large floating wind turbines installed at water depths roughly between 50m and 200m. The project will contribute to an increased scientific and industrial knowledge on numerical and experimental design methodologies and procedures.

39. Proposed Approach Public bodies in Wales have a legal obligation to incorporate circular economy principles into their organisations’ operations to decrease waste streams, carbon footprint and ensure that materials are used efficiently. However, it is challenging for organisation leaders to break away from their status quo operations without some form of intervention. The Circular Economy Innovation Communities project (Call Area 3) seeks to provide an intervention, through facilitated workshops, that enables public sector leaders to “map, gap and fill” operational areas that would benefit from incorporating circular economy principles. The programme utilises social learning theory and uses Communities of Practice to enable practitioners to co-create new service solutions to inter-organisational challenges. In a previous project iteration this has led to an organisation’s waste plastic being recycled on site and replacing a virgin plastic source, saving the organisation £250k and tonnes of plastic waste. We’re interested in working with partners to expand the CEIC project across Wales and the UK. Organisational Capabilities We have skills in facilitation of leadership training programmes designed to effect change within an organisation. We also have expertise in circular economy, climate change mitigation strategies and inter-regional development. We are a team of academics that have experience working with private and public sector management teams. We’re also experienced in researching and evidencing the impact of regional networking on local areas. Experience The CEIC team project has a pro-active, supportive Steering Group that boasts the heads (and department heads) of Public Health Wales, Audit Wales, Wales Co-Operative Centre, Welsh Government Waste Strategy, Dwr Cymru Welsh Water and the Cardiff Capital Region programme board. The project team recently supported Ford (Bridgend Engine Plant) to set up their ‘Innovation Lab and Welsh Water to develop new services that have reduced costs and their carbon footprint.

62. Proposed Approach: Decarbonising or reducing the carbon content of the gas network in an integrated renewable/alternative fuels (e.g. biogas, hydrogen) generation and utilisation in micro gas turbines (MGT) or fuel cells (FC) for efficient, sustainable, clean decentralised heat and power generation in smart buildings/cities. What is your understanding of the part of the problem you can solve? The need for clean, sustainable, and decentralised energy in smart cities necessitates the design and application of novel integrated Bio/H2 fuel generation and utilisation in for decentralised micro heat and power (micro-CHP) generation in future smart cities. The benefits would be utilising renewable/clean fuels, reducing waste and emission, achieving higher combined efficiencies and avoiding transmission loses. What part of the Scope do you want to address? The following two parts: 1. Renewable energy-based systems for cogeneration of heat and power (CHP) 2. Renewable power generation systems (e.g. biofuel/H2 micro-CHP); 3. HVAC solutions (e.g. less developed clean heating options such as hydrogen) If you are looking for partners, what type of partners are you looking for? We are looking for partners in the biofuel/H2 generation and microturbine sectors to complement our engineering approach to this innovative technology.

67. Proposed Approach We have an innovative solution for Power-to-X which can be utilized at source to monetize excess energy production (i.e. when supply exceeds demand from offshore wind generation) by dynamically balancing loads on generators. Power-to-X can be more accurately described as Power-to-X-to-[Revenue Generated From Selling X to Market]. Our technology shortens the value chain to simply Power-to-Revenue, completely bypassing the intermediary process. Ultimately, by combining our technology with our remodeled energy distribution network (red://net™)–which is only possible when utilizing our technology–we create a ground-breaking Power-to-Power system with round trip efficiencies of >15,000%. We are looking for a partner who can incorporate the development of our technology from TRL5 through TRL8 into a larger project. Organisational Capabilities We are a SME, just emerging from early R&D, ready to start progressing through TRL5. We are flexible regarding project location and are highly adaptable.

68. Proposed Approach We currently face a triple pandemic of airborne infection, pollution and climate change. We need to repair our air for us & the planet. Our patent pending technology address all three sustainably. Our fans “repair the air” by deploying cutting edge photocatalytic technology within a ‘plug n play’ fan to kill airborne infections, instantaneously decompose pollution & reduce CO2. We do not filter the harm out of the air to be dumped elsewhere in the biosphere, we deal with it at it’s source. We wish to Ø design and develop a form of our technology for area 8. Ø deploy our fans across a cohort of houses in Europe (area 10) to understand the difference they make to both the environment and the people who benefit from them, including any negative unintended consequences. We are looking to partner with design engineering, production engineering, IT/data capture companies & a research institute/university. Organisational Capabilities We are a UK-based start up company on a mission. We are in the process of deploying fans onto a train in the UK in partnership with a multi-national train manufacturer. This is to make travel safer again after covid-19 but also to help improve air quality & accelerate the drive to carbon neutrality. As a start up we are humble and offer great opportunities for deep collaborations for the long term. Experience We have engaged – and are exclusive to in the transport sector – a global engineering company with expansive resources. The associated publicity and presence will be compelling. Quite remarkable given our first lab based prototype was developed less than 12 months ago. Administrative Information We would look to be the co-ordinator, but are willing to co-operate.

70. Proposed Approach Call Subtopic 2: Demonstration of innovative technologies to enable future large scale deployment of offshore renewable energy Proposal concept: Offshore Floating Energy Islands. The idea is to develop further integrated offshore energy systems to increase Energy density in terms of MW/km^2.
