Research paper on e-scooter lifecycle emissions
The project by UCL and FEA researchers assessed the environmental impact of shared e-scooters in Bristol, analysing over 190,000 trips. It found e-scooters reduced greenhouse gas emissions by up to 45% and travel time by 47% compared to traditional transport modes. This significant reduction was linked to efficient operations and high vehicle utilisation, emphasising the importance of sustainable practices in fleet management.
View Impact & Testimonial
Impact:
At the TRB 2024 conference in Washington DC, this study underscored shared e-scooters' potential to significantly improve urban mobility and sustainability. By demonstrating up to 45% reductions in emissions and 47% in travel time, it highlighted e-scooters' efficiency in cutting congestion and emissions. This research offers critical insights for cities and policymakers, advocating for e-scooter integration into urban transport strategies for environmental and efficiency gains.

“'We were very pleased with the outcomes of our collaboration with FEA, which has provided solid evidence of the positive impact our e-scooters are making on people’s lives, which we continue to use in various communications'”.

Granular certificate API and software architecture
Researched focused on key challenges in transitioning to (sub) hourly Granular Certificates, including examined unit-based issuing, increased volume, dual registry synchronisation, and data transparency concerns. The analysis informed our development of API standard and software architecture for EnergyTag to act as a reference for developers of granular certificate registries.
View Impact & Testimonial
Impact:
Achieved good engagement from a registries developing granular certificate systems for the first time.

Future Energy Associates' unique blend of energy, data and soft skills is unique. They did a great job efficiently delivering an energy tracking API specification for us. They were very quickly able to get to grips with a huge amount of detail and create a rigorous set of technical proposals. I've had nothing but good feedback about their work from our community and look forward to working together again in the future.”

Tariff Watch: Domestic energy market reports
For the "Warm This Winter" campaign, Future Energy Associates produces detailed market reports on the UK domestic energy sector. These reports offer an in-depth analysis of various aspects of the OFGEM price cap to assess its fairness and reasonableness. Additionally, leveraging our market-leading tariff database, we highlight how prices are evolving and identify specific user groups that may be disproportionately affected.
View Impact & Testimonial
Impact:
Our market reports have gained significant traction, being featured across national media outlets including the BBC (TV/website), The Telegraph, Daily Mail, and This is Money, among others. Local newspapers have also showcased our findings. This widespread media coverage prompted OFGEM to re-evaluate the price cap for Economy 7 tariffs, underscoring the tangible impact of our work on energy regulation and policy.
