The increasing penetration of intermittent renewable power within the UK energy network will require additional flexibility from conventional sources of generation, such as nuclear power plants. Read more
About the project: . Nottinghamshire, like many regions in the UK, is facing growing challenges with rising energy costs, fuel poverty, and a reliance on external energy providers. Read more
Natural gas it is an abundant and versatile energy source, helping meet growing demand for energy globally. Up to 50% of natural gas is being used as feedstock for chemical synthesis of many important base chemicals such as ammonia and methanol. Read more
Project overview. Geoscience plays a pivotal role in delivering offshore wind power. The aim of this project is to optimise the characterisation of the seabed over kilometre-scale offshore wind farms at the accuracy required. Read more
The EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Renewable Energy Northeast Universities Plus (ReNU+)is a collaborative doctoral training programme run by the Universities of Northumbria, Newcastle and Durham. Read more
The UK has set an ambitious commitment of achieving net zero by 2050. Low carbon hydrogen is expected to play a vital role in the next few decades. Read more
Plants live in close association with complex communities of microbes which together constitute their ‘microbiome’. The microbiome interacts with the plant in numerous ways; some microbes are beneficial and promote plant growth, while others are pathogens which reduce crop yields. Read more
This project will study hardware-based approaches to control X-ray scatter in high energy XCT systems assemblies using a novel beamstop array design to estimate the scattered signal. . Read more
This PhD project investigates strategies to protect underwater infrastructure, such as subsea power cables, from the impacts of submarine landslides—a growing concern as the UK expands its offshore wind capacity. Read more
The growing demand for low-power, high-performance computing systems has accelerated the development of a new paradigm called ‘Approximate Computing’, which often surpasses traditional architectures in efficiency. Read more
Background. Sea-level rise presents one of the greatest environmental challenges for the global community. However, there is deep uncertainty in future projections beyond 2100. Read more
This PhD is being advertised as part of the Centre for Doctoral Training for Resilient Flood Futures (FLOOD-CDT). Further details about FLOOD-CDT can be seen here https://flood-cdt.ac.uk/. Read more
To achieve the UK’s ambitious target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 80% by 2050 without compromising energy security, the UK’s conventional power plants must be operated in a flexible manner in terms of high efficiency, using alternative fuels (e.g. Read more
