The Rural Energy Hubs project builds upon decades of experience, joint working and delivering innovative low-carbon projects in Orkney and Shetland. It embraces a place-based demonstration approach to overcoming non-technical barriers to accelerate decarbonisation. Seven work packages integrated across the energy system to demonstrate how decarbonisation can be developed, embedded and accelerated by establishing locally-led coordinated action in Rural Energy Hubs, providing innovative and practical focal-points to drive decarbonisation for individuals, businesses and local authorities, maximising social, economic and environmental benefits.This project brings together work and partners from the Net Zero Living Orkney and Shetland Rural Energy Hubs projects in Phase 1 of the Net Zero Living: Pathfinder Places programme. Both studies built on learning and challenges from the IUK PFER demonstration project ReFLEX Orkney, an ambitious programme of innovative integrated consumer-facing community-led services that encountered significant non-technical barriers.This Phase 2 project seeks innovative solutions to key non-technical barriers: finance, regulation, grid capacity, resource, behavioural change and lack of data.High-impact outputs have been developed to encompass all modalities of the energy system:* Transport -- innovative electric solutions for local authority fleets including large mobility vehicles, integrating demand-led community-managed services, a Mobility as a Service (MaaS) platform and distributed charging infrastructure, financially sustainable car club models for rural areas, maritime (electric) and aviation (hydrogen) decarbonisation trials for passenger vessel and heavy-lift drones, plus holistic, system-wide planning for decarbonisation of transport across communities.* Heat -- district heating solutions for rural communities, smarter monitoring in domestic and community premises to drive behaviour change, development of the Building Renovation Passport programme to support users through all aspects of decarbonising homes and offices.* Power -- developing affordable models of supporting individuals, communities and businesses with renewable generation and battery solutions; including incorporating energy generation and storage into Rural Energy Hubs.These mode-based innovation activities will be linked together to allow the setup of the first pilot Rural Energy Hub, in Brae, Shetland; showcasing delivery of our fully integrated, local, placed-based solutions.Learning will be combined into a UK-wide replication plan, which incorporates a range of place-based business models to ensure maximum uptake.The partners are Aquatera (AQT) (lead), Orkney Islands Council (OIC), Shetland Islands Council (SIC), the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC), and Community Energy Scotland (CES). This hand-picked team brings together significant real-world experience of addressing non-technical barriers to decarbonisation and successfully delivering ambitious projects of this nature.

农村能源中心项目建立在奥克尼群岛和设得兰群岛数十年共同合作和交付创新低碳项目的经验之上。它采用基于地点的示范方法来克服非技术障碍，加速脱碳。整个能源系统整合了七个工作包，展示如何通过在农村能源中心建立地方主导的协调行动来开发、嵌入和加速脱碳，提供创新和实用的焦点来推动个人、企业和地方当局的脱碳，最大限度地提高脱碳效率社会、经济和环境效益。该项目汇集了“净零生活：探路者地点”计划第一阶段的奥克尼和设得兰农村能源中心项目的工作和合作伙伴。这两项研究都建立在 IUK PFER 示范项目 ReFLEX Orkney 的学习和挑战之上，该项目是一项雄心勃勃的面向消费者的社区主导的创新综合服务计划，但遇到了重大的非技术障碍。该第二阶段项目寻求针对关键非技术障碍的创新解决方案：金融、监管、电网容量、资源、行为变化和数据缺乏。已制定高影响力产出，涵盖能源系统的所有模式：* 运输——为地方当局车队提供创新的电力解决方案，包括大型机动车辆、集成以需求为导向的社区管理服务、移动即服务（MaaS）平台和分布式充电基础设施、农村地区财务上可持续的汽车俱乐部模式、客船和重型无人机的海上（电力）和航空（氢）脱碳试验，以及跨社区交通脱碳的整体全系统规划。* 供热 - 农村社区的区域供暖解决方案、家庭和社区场所的智能监控以推动行为改变、制定建筑翻新护照计划以支持用户完成所有工作脱碳的各个方面家庭和办公室。* 电力——开发负担得起的模式，通过可再生能源发电和电池解决方案支持个人、社区和企业；这些基于模式的创新活动将相互联系起来，以便在设得兰群岛布雷建立第一个试点农村能源中心；展示我们完全集成的、本地的、基于地点的解决方案的交付。学习将被合并到英国范围内的复制计划中，该计划包含一系列基于地点的商业模式，以确保最大程度的采用。合作伙伴是 Aquatera (AQT)（领导者） ）、奥克尼群岛议会（OIC）、设得兰群岛议会（SIC）、欧洲海洋能源中心（EMEC）和苏格兰社区能源中心（CES）。这个精心挑选的团队汇集了解决脱碳非技术障碍并成功交付此类雄心勃勃的项目的重要现实经验。
