Decarbonising gas markets: How could the EU Gas Package impact the UK?

This notice is to alert bidders to a call for competition for the DESNZ commissioned research that focuses on: - Identifying areas of regulatory divergence between the UK and the EU. - Evaluating the impacts of divergence on market dynamics, competition, and energy security. - Assessing the impacts on natural gas, hydrogen, and biomethane trade between the UK and the EU. The specification and tender documents are published on the DESNZ Jaggaer portal: https://beisgroup.ukp.app.jaggaer.com/go/96581074019354733734 The maximum value and length for this contract is £50,000 exc VAT over ~3 months. However, bidders are encouraged to highlight where efficiencies in time and cost can be made in their bid. The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) is looking to commission research to improve our understanding of the Package and its possible effects on natural gas, hydrogen and renewable gas markets in the UK and the EU. The primary objectives of the analysis we seek to tender will be to: Identify areas of potential regulatory divergence: Identify and analyse specific areas where regulatory differences exist or may emerge between the UK and the EU concerning natural gas, hydrogen and biomethane markets, including pricing mechanisms, market structures, environmental and emissions standards, and certification as a result of the EU's Decarbonised Gas and Hydrogen Package. Evaluate the impacts on market dynamics: Investigate how identified actual or potential regulatory divergence influences market dynamics, such as competition, investment, and market liquidity, within both the UK and EU gas markets and the potential impact on hydrogen and biomethane markets. Examine trade implications and risks/opportunities for the UK: Assess the impact of identified actual or potential regulatory divergence on natural gas, hydrogen and biomethane trade between the UK and the EU, including changes in import/export volumes, tariffs, and market access barriers. Assess the opportunities as well as risks to alignment/non-alignment. Assess implications for energy security: Examine how regulatory divergence may impact energy security in the UK and EU, including supply reliability, diversification of sources, and infrastructure investments. The project will involve two parts, one being an analysis of potential areas of divergence, with the second analysing the impacts of divergence through scenario modelling. This will meet the primary objectives of the project: Support policy recommendations: Inform policy decisions on security of supply, gas market decarbonisation, biomethane and hydrogen frameworks. Support UK-EU Energy cooperation: Provide objective analysis to support negotiations with the EU on cooperation on natural gas, biomethane and hydrogen markets.

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. Please ensure you review all attached information to ensure a full understanding of this requirement.
