RFI - Climate Change, Energy and Environment Innovation -British Army Industry Engagement

Climate Change, Energy and Environment Innovation -British Army Industry Engagement

Considering industrial and academic innovation, the British Army is seeking to refresh and maintain an understanding of the current industry offerings in the sphere of renewable energy technology.

To this aim, this (and potentially subsequent) Request for Information (RFI) is published to ensure that the Army has a clear and current understanding of the capabilities available in the renewable energy market, and of wider thinking for strategies to build resilience and seek competitive advantage through the Energy transition (whilst also reducing emissions).

Please not that this is an RFI and not a contract notice. Formal expressions of interest are not sought at this time.

• Energy Transition for both equipment and estate considerations.
• Energy storage, management and control.
• Energy generation.
• Utility reductions.
• GHG Emissions reduction.
• Carbon accounting.
• Natural Capital and biodiversity increases.
