UKERC’s Phase 4 programme includes a £3 million Flexible Research Fund that will be allocated via a series of three open calls, anticipated to take place in 2020 and 2021. The Fund is overseen by an independent Research Committee.
Four projects were awarded in January 2021 in response to our first call which focused on the areas of governance, cooling and finance.
The second round of funding closed in June 2021, and focused on projects that explore the effectiveness and impact of policies that form part of the ‘green industrial revolution’ envisaged by the UK Government as part of its response to Covid-19. Projects will be announced in due course.
An online consultation to help inform and gather topics for our third and final round of funding closed in June and it is anticipated that this final call will open later this year.

This briefing considers the economic gains that could be realised through the deployment of heat pumps. It focuses on how, and to what extent, the electricity-gas price differential determines whether the efficiency of heat pumps will lead to energy bill saving for UK households.
The aim of this work was to benchmark the existing UK cold chain and provide robust evidence-based data on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in 2019.
