About

DESNZ is seeking a supplier to provide research services for a four-year Biomass Research Programme to advance scientific understanding of the role and potential of biomass and bioenergy in climate change mitigation, energy security and net zero delivery. The programme will cover lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions of biomass feedstocks and bioenergy systems; biomass availability and demand across sectors; sustainability criteria and environmental impacts; co-benefits and trade-offs including biodiversity, air and water quality; economic modelling of biomass-derived fuels and materials; and analysis of the bioeconomy and its potential for growth and decarbonisation. The contract requires skills in geospatial modelling, spatial data analysis, climate scenario modelling, scientific and economic research, policy development and strong project management. Expected outputs include reports, policy briefings and technical annexes, updated models (for example the UK & Global Bioenergy Resource Model), seminars, workshops and teach-ins, and data sets and scenario analyses to inform policy decisions. The programme will be delivered through seven work packages (WP1–WP7) and DESNZ is holding a supplier event on MS Teams on 13.01.2026.
