There are major challenges inherent in meeting the goals of the UK national energy policy, including, climate change mitigation and adaption, security of supply, asset renewal, supply infrastructure etc. Additionally, there is a recognized shortage of high quality scientists and engineers with energy-related training to tackle these challenges, and to support the UK's future research and development and innovation performance as evidenced by several recent reports;Doosan Babcock (Energy Brief, Issue 3, June 2007, Doosan Babcock); UK Energy Institute (conducted by Deloitte/Norman Broadbent, 'Skills Needs in the Energy Industry' 2008); The Institution of Engineering and Technology, (evidence to the House of Commons, Select Committee on Innovation, Universities, Science and Skills Fifth Report (19th June 2008); The Energy Research Partnership (Investigation into High-level Skills Shortages in the Energy Sector, March 2007). Here we present a proposal to host a Doctoral Training Centre (DTC) focusing on the development of technologies for a low carbon future, providing a challenging, exciting and inspiring research environment for the development of tomorrow's research leaders. This DTC will bring together a cohort of postgraduate research students and their supervisors to develop innovative technologies for a low carbon future based around the key interlinking themes: [1] Low Carbon Enabling Technologies; [2] Transport & Energy; [3] Carbon Storage, underpinned by [4] Climate Change & Energy Systems Research. Thereby each student will develop high level expertise in a particular topic but with excitement of working in a multidisciplinary environment. The DTC will be integrated within a campus wide Interdisciplinary Institute which coordinates energy research to tackle the 'Grand Challenge' of developing technologies for a low carbon future, our DTC students therefore working in a transformational research environment. The DTC will be housed in a NEW 14.8M Energy Research Building and administered by the established (2005) cross campus Earth, Energy & Environment (EEE) University Interdisciplinary Institute

在实现英国国家能源政策的目标方面存在着固有的重大挑战，包括减缓和适应气候变化、供应安全、资产更新、供应基础设施等。此外，公认缺乏接受过能源相关培训的高素质科学家和工程师来应对这些挑战，并支持英国未来的研发和创新绩效，最近的几份报告证明了这一点;斗山巴布科克（能源简报，第3期，2007年6月，斗山巴布科克）;英国能源研究所（由德勤/诺曼布罗德本特进行，“能源行业的技能需求”2008年）;工程技术学会，（证据提交下议院，创新、大学、科学和技能特设委员会第五次报告（2008年6月19日）;能源研究伙伴关系（能源部门高级技能短缺调查，2007年3月）。在这里，我们提出了一个建议，主办博士培训中心（DTC），专注于低碳未来的技术开发，为未来的研究领导者的发展提供一个具有挑战性，令人兴奋和鼓舞人心的研究环境。该DTC将汇集一批研究生和他们的导师，围绕关键的相互联系的主题开发低碳未来的创新技术：[1]低碳使能技术;[2]运输和能源;[3]碳储存，以[4]气候变化和能源系统研究为基础。因此，每个学生都将在特定主题中发展高水平的专业知识，但在多学科环境中工作的兴奋。DTC将被整合到一个校园范围内的跨学科研究所，该研究所协调能源研究，以应对为低碳未来开发技术的“重大挑战”，因此，我们的DTC学生将在一个变革性的研究环境中工作。DTC将被安置在一个新的14.8M能源研究大楼，并由成立（2005年）跨校园地球，能源和环境（EEE）大学跨学科研究所管理
