Energy Market Transition for Net Zero

As the world grapples with the urgent need to mitigate climate change and achieve a net-zero carbon emissions future, understanding and reshaping energy markets is of paramount importance. Read more

Renewable Energy and Energy Storage

Getting to 100% renewable energy requires a massive improvement in the performance of energy storage systems which can store vast amounts of energy for periods of days to weeks. Read more

Advanced Maintenance Management of Offshore Renewable Energy Systems

  Research Group: Communication and Networks
Renewable energy plays an importance role in the road to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions, limiting the global temperature increase by up to 1.5°C by 2050. Read more

Distributed Hybrid Renewable Energy Systems for Energy Transition

These projects are open to students worldwide, but have no funding attached. Therefore, the successful applicant will be expected to fund tuition fees at the relevant level (home or international) and any applicable additional research costs. Read more

Innovations in Waste Energy Minimisation from Maritime Engineering Power and Propulsion Systems

Supervisory Team.   Prof Alan J Murphy & Prof Dominic Hudson. Project description. Although maritime transport is one of the most energy efficient, the cumulative carbon footprint from global shipping is equivalent a large industrialised nation (~3% of global total). Read more
