Stabilising climate change ? The role of carbon emissions

Clean Low Carbon Energy

Midlands Energy Graduate School: £3M HEFCE UK-India Sustainable Energy Technologies Network

£7.8M investment in bioenergy research Production of bioethanol and biobutanol from non-food crops and agricultural waste

Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS) 1.Carbon removal at power station 2.Transport & safe storage of CO 2 3.Public acceptance of the technology

“ The Centre brings together engineers, mathematicians, bioscientists, geographers, geologists and end-users in a ‘hot- house’ environment that encourages creative problem- solving in carbon capture and storage.”

CO 2 leak detection & environmental impacts

 Some public concern  ‘NIMBYism’ – impacts on house prices  Comparison with nuclear waste disposal & safety fears  More work needed

Sustainable buildings  Integrating renewable energy supply (solar, wind, geothermal)  Energy efficiency, smart controls  Demonstration & research facilities (built with industry partnership)  Working University buildings Centre for Sustainable Energy Technologies, UNNC Ningbo Campus, China David Wilson Millennium Ecohouse Marmont Centre for Renewable Energy
