Renewables & low carbon

Predicted population growth and economic development will increase future demand for electricity to a level than cannot be met by the existing generation and transmission infrastructure in many parts of the world, including Europe. Alternative energy sources therefore represent the only way of satisfying energy demand and still meeting these targets. Clean technology and renewables (such as bioenergy, carbon capture and storage, photovoltaics, concentrating solar power, wind power and smart grids) will need to form a large part of a reconfigured global energy generation and transmission infrastructure.

Working closely with work closely with the Sustainability and Climate Change Team the UK Renewables and Low Carbon Group provides assistance and advice with our network of dedicated industry experts.
