Description
Low-carbon, sustainable energy (heat and power) generation is a key priority for the UK and internationally, with significant global opportunities for technology development and commercialisation. With co-funding from the European Regional Development Fund, the University of Sheffield is establishing a flagship national Translation Energy Research Centre. The Centre will provide a multi-technology, integrated RD&D platform which will bring together a range of energy generation facilities. This will promote research and innovation, as well as demonstrate individual and integrated energy systems enabling businesses to evaluate these low carbon / renewable technologies with the purpose of encouraging their uptake.
EQUIPMENT:
The new centre will have a range of bio-energy and conventional heat and power plants with carbon capture and utilisation facilities. This will significantly expand our current equipment portfolio, and therefore we are looking to procure the following equipment as individual items and/or as integrated packages:
1. Waste-to-Energy (WtE) Combuster
2. Biomass CHP Gasifier, with integrated/separate gas engine for co-generation
3. Biomass gas Turbine/Engine, either as part of the gasifier above or as a separate unit
4. Organic Rankine Cycle Generator System, to be integrated with above WtE boiler and/or gasifier and/or an existing 250 kW chip/pellet boiler.
THIS NOTICE
We are highlighting this opportunity to potential suppliers. We are also launching a market consultation exercise to help inform a realistic technical specification for the forthcoming tender process, and to engage with potential suppliers to better understand the following:
1. The range of technologies offered and available on the market
2. How the above attributes can be potentially achieved and what are the limitations
3. Installation requirements and constraints
4. Informal approximate costs
5. Technologies track record
The individual tender requirements will follow separately after the market engagement exercise has concluded and will be advertised through OJEU and Contracts Finder.
