Developing solutions for the energy transition
Climate change is the greatest challenge of our age. 探花直播impacts of climate change are now being felt in every region of the planet.
Solutions are being developed at Cambridge that can be implemented, grown to scale, and used to accelerate the rapid transition to a net zero and then zero emissions economy.
In this series of short films, Cambridge researchers discuss how their work is supporting the energy transition.
's research focuses on the development of new types of semiconductors, particularly for use in solar cell technology.
, from the Department of Engineering, specialises in building simulation and environmental characteristics of the built environment. At Cambridge, she is leading the multi-disciplinary Energy Efficient Cities initiative (EECi) with colleagues in transport technologies and urban planning. Her current research concerns urban-scale energy simulation of built environments, with specific emphasis on uncertainty analysis and retrofits of existing buildings.
research is concerned with the decarbonisation of road freight, which represents between 7 and 8 percent of global carbon emissions.
research focuses on the evolution, dynamics and impacts of gas-phase nanoparticles. 探花直播applications of his research extend from engineered nanoparticles for energy applications to transportation emissions and air quality.
, from the Department of Computer Science and Technology, focuses on reducing the carbon footprint of energy generation, transportation, and buildings. He has recently been digital monitoring, reporting, and verification for trustworthy carbon credits, especially from avoided deforestation.
is Director of Whittle Laboratory, a leading global centre for net-zero aviation and energy. 探花直播King recently broke ground for the New Whittle Laboratory: its mission is to halve the time to develop key technologies to support a sustainable aviation industry.
research focuses on the development of new computer models for simulating complex engineering systems, particularly around the energy transition.
research is focused on ending deforestation globally. She examines the drivers and impacts of land change, primarily in forest landscapes, and the effectiveness and equity of forest conservation and sustainable agriculture policies and practices. I work closely with farmers and national agriculture and forestry agencies. My research spans Brazil, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Indonesia, Switzerland, and the Republic of Georgia.
is working to improve existing and develop new types of batteries, a technology that is critical to the energy transition.
is Director of the Institute for Energy and Environmental Flows, an interdisciplinary centre focused on granular flows and fluid dynamics for sustainability and the energy transition.
is Director of the , the 探花直播 of Cambridge’s first overseas research centre. One of the Centre's key research areas is reducing the carbon emissions of the chemical industry.
, from the in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology, uses MRI and magnetic resonance methods to accelerate the development of new systems to support the circular economy.
