Description

Circularity applies to all materials and plastic is no exception. The entire lifecycle of plastic should be in scope for action, with consideration going to environmental, social, and economic impacts across the system. It is vital to consider potential trade-offs as well as assessing the timeline for action. This allows space for technological development and innovation whilst ensuring we remain on the path to circularity. Additionally, identification of barriers and opportunities helps to determine where our existing powers can act and where we may need to approach certain challenges differently to drive positive change.  The aim of this project is to identify barriers and opportunities to a circular economy for plastics across their entire lifecycle.

BE24244 - Estimating the future prices and scale of engineered GGRs in voluntary Carbon Markets (VCMs).

The final date and time for the submission of bids is Friday 6th December 2024 at 11:00hrs. DO NOT apply directly to the buyer. All tender information MUST be submitted through the Jaggaer eSourcing Portal. The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) is seeking to commission expert research and modelling to forecast the prices and quantity of engineered Greenhouse Gas Removals (GGRs) traded in Voluntary Carbon Markets (VCMs) in yearly intervals to 2050, by technology type. The UK will achieve its net zero target by 2050 primarily though taking ambitious decarbonisation measures; however, some sectors, such as aviation and agriculture, will be hard to abate completely by 2050 so will require greenhouse gas removals (GGRs) to compensate for their residual emissions. GGRs is the name given to a group of methods that actively remove greenhouse gases, predominantly CO2, from the atmosphere, also commonly referred to as Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR). They broadly fall into two categories: nature-based approaches, such as afforestation and soil carbon sequestration, and engineering-based approaches, such as Direct Air Carbon Capture and Storage (DACCS), Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS), Wood in Construction, Biochar and Enhanced Weathering (EW). Following the sector classification adopted by the Climate Change Committee (CCC) and in the Net Zero Strategy, DESNZ's focus is on engineered removals and will be the focus of this research project. The Net Zero Strategy outlined the government's ambition to deliver at least 5MtCO2/year of engineered removals by 2030 to around 23MtCO2 per year by 2035. By 2050, deployment of engineered removals at a large scale, between 75 and 81MtCO2 per year, will be needed to help compensate residual emissions.
