Centre for Energy
A Newcastle University Centre of Research Excellence
We will unify efforts and raise ambitions towards a new way of thinking about energy systems.
Energy's role in climate change
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s 1.5°C special report was key.
It brought clarity to the scientific evidence on the impacts of global warming.
The role of the energy system in climate change mitigation is crucial.
Our work informs global/national policies on climate change and carbon emissions reduction.
Our vision
Our vision is to deliver advances in:
- technology and engineering
- materials science
- economics and policy studies
- cyber security
- lifecycle analysis
- ethics and justice
- business models
- behaviour
- design and infrastructure
This will help us to progress towards the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals.
Effecting change through collaborative research
We are a platform for cross-disciplinary collaborative research. We mentor early career researchers.
Stakeholders from across industry and government are crucial too. They help shape our research and translate discoveries to impact.
From molecules to systems, small to large scale, across many applications, we can effect change.
We will transition society to clean, affordable energy.
