EPSRC Supported EngD: ZERO CARBON – Solar forecasting and future sustainable power systems - (ENG 1618)
The contribution of PV energy to the electricity generation mix continues to grow. Installed capacity in the UK in 2020 was 13.4 GW and is expected to increase to 40 GW by 2030. Read more
Heat transfer performance of nanocomposite energy material in the presence of thermal radiation.
The British Net Zero Strategy published in 2021 states that 'By 2035, the UK will be powered entirely by clean energy.' The 2050 ambition of the UK government's British Energy Security Strategy published in April 2022 is as follows. Read more
Development of solar concentrator for hydrogen production in solar thermochemical water-splitting cycle
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
Solar to Liquid Fuel for Future Sustainability (SoLFuel) (RENU23-R/EE/MCE/SHAHZAD)
The EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Renewable Energy Northeast Universities (ReNU)is a collaborative doctoral training programme run by the Universities of Northumbria, Newcastle and Durham. Read more
SCENARIO: How will extreme weather affect the energy sector in Europe under climate change? (SC2023_19)
Research Group:
SCENARIO NERC DTP
Weather affects both electricity supply and demand, for example during still and cold winter days when low supply from wind turbines coincides with high demand for heating. Read more
Design and development of water desalination plants for rural communities, driven by a hybrid solar-biogas energy system
Freshwater supplies are becoming increasingly stressed as demand increases. Desalination technologies are able to produce drinking water from abundant resources such as seawater. Read more
