UKRI Stories | The Net Zero webinar series: Sustainable Energy @UKResearchandInnovation | Uploaded November 2021 | Updated October 2024, 55 minutes ago.
To succeed in limiting global warming, the UK urgently needs to use energy efficiently while embracing clean energy sources to make things move, heat up and cool down. How can we deliver cheaper, clean energy systems across the world? In what ways will energy, tech and auto firms converge and how will this impact the evolution of smart grids? What will be the business models that will succeed in 21st century energy markets?

As part of UK Research and Innovation's COP26 programme of events, the penultimate webinar in our Net Zero series brought together experts from industry and academia to discuss innovative work that's changing the way we use and generate energy.

Agenda:

00:00 Opening
03:01 Dr Sam Hampton, Environmental Change Institute, Oxford University: The Human Factor - why moving to a more sustainable energy system is as much a societal problem as a technical one
13:57 Mareike Schmidt, UKRI Innovate UK. Prospering from the Energy Revolution - light bulb moments
25:46 Gavin Starks, CEO of Icebreaker One. Data is King - how data will drive energy convergence and sustainability
