UKSAP will be led by energy services business Senergy Alternative Energy, and is also set to involve technical contributions from the British Geological Survey, the Scottish Centre for Carbon Storage (University of Edinburgh, Heriot-Watt University), Durham University, GeoPressure Technology Ltd, Geospatial Research Ltd, Imperial College London, RPS Energy and Element Energy Ltd.

Last month, a government commissioned report by Element Energy consultants said that the number of home-based energy units could soar to nine million by 2020 - producing as much energy as five nuclear power stations and generating a pounds 21bn bonanza for renewable energy technology companies.

An increase in home-based "microgeneration" energy devices, such as the solar panels and small wind turbines favoured by the Labour and Tory leaders, as well as ground source heat pumps, could be the carbon equivalent of taking every lorry and bus off UK roads, an independent report for the government by Element Energy consultants said.
