Project Profile
Greenwatt undertakes the organisation of the Low Carbon Vehicle Forum for Warwickshire County Council’s Climate Change partnershipElectric public transport bus trial
Responsible for organising the funding and the coordination of a pilot electric bus trial operating a commercial Park and Ride route through the historic town of Stratford upon Avon. The trial compared the technical performance and passenger experience of the electric bus with a conventional diesel vehicle.

Biomethane for Transport
Co-organiser of a series of workshops designed to raise awareness and develop projects which promote the use of bio-methane as a source of transport fuel (compressed gas) for public transport and fleet transport. Participants and contributors included experts in anaerobic digestion, bio-methane transportation and landfill methane collection.
Greenwatt Technology in partnership with University of Birmingham (Science City Energy Challenge) October 2008
Synthetic Fuel
EU-wide scoping study mapping the supply of organic waste from urban sources, the technical process of treatment and conversion into synthetic fuels (gas and liquid) and the current and potential market for synfuels. Identification of the barriers (legal, technical and financial) to the development of the technologies. Preparation of guidelines to develop synthetic fuel from organic urban waste.
Members of EU-wide consortium led by AETS (France) with project submission under the EU Framework 7 / Intelligent Energy Europe
Waste-to-Energy
Prepared Briefing Report to introduce the potential for a gasification plant in Warwickshire with capacity to treat and convert domestic and industrial organic waste into energy (biogas and biofuel).
Warwickshire Climate Change Partnership / Warwickshire County Council - February 2008
Waste Wood - Private Client
Prepared report to identify the UK waste wood sector and examine the potential for the use of waste wood in large scale biomass power and combined heat and power plants
Private Client funded through the Manufacturing Advisory Service (West Midlands) - July 2008
Bio-Energy Supply Chain
Developed outline project bid to develop and support bio-energy supply chain network across the West Midlands, including biomass producers, machinery manufacturers, research organisations and local authorities.

Low Carbon Demonstration Centre
Developing a proposal to establish a National Low Carbon Demonstration Centre in the Midlands aimed at creating a centre of excellence for environmental and renewable technologies, sustainable buildings and low carbon transport. Centre will bring together supply chain companies, local authorities, R&D organisations and the general public to raise awareness, demonstrate technologies and put low carbon solutions into practice.
Greenwatt Technology and a range of prospective stakeholders
Sustainable Environments
Developed a strategy for the dissemination of research for the Sustainable Urban Environment team at Birmingham University. Understanding the processes by which sustainable regeneration is achieved and the methods used to disseminate the lessons learnt ensures that sustainable urban development is included in future project planning processes.
