UK innovators need investors to trust emissions data. Right now, the system makes that harder than it should be.

Our new report makes the case for a Carbon Reporting and Innovation Office (CRIO), a dedicated body that would align existing standards, reduce admin burden, and create a single point of disclosure for emissions data.

💼 30–50 staff.
💰 A budget of £2-5m a year.
🗓️ Operational within 18 months.
Senior Energy Policy Advisor Emily Ford sets out what CRIO would do and why it matters for UK scale-ups: es.catapult.org.uk/insight/w…

Electric HGVs could be one of the biggest flexibility assets on the grid.
But at the moment, they're a risk.

The challenge Bo keeps coming back to is the market. UK non-domestic tariff structures give fleet operators no clear financial reason to participate in flexibility. Most are still focused on the basics of electrification, not what comes next.

The UK's clean energy transition is only as good as the data behind it.
The Smart Energy Data Service (SENSE) is building that foundation, pooling datasets on EV access, real-world energy use & mobility patterns across the UK to give researchers & innovators a clearer picture.

UK businesses are spending time and money they don't have navigating a patchwork of carbon reporting rules.
The result is a system that creates cost and confusion rather than saving money and unleashing innovation.

Better data that helps innovators attract investment, SMEs compete, and the government to make better decisions.
Carbon accounting is becoming essential infrastructure for the global economy. The UK has the expertise to lead on it. Right now, we're not set up to do that.

There has never been a more urgent time to focus on energy innovation.
Wholesale gas prices are climbing. Fixed-rate energy deals are disappearing. Household bills are set to rise again this summer, this time with the cause tracing back to the Strait of Hormuz.
