Making the transition to a low carbon economy while ensuring a secure energy supply is one of the greatest challenges facing the UK today. Rising fuel prices are also creating opportunities for innovative approaches to low carbon energy provision at both city and household scale.By developing a comprehensive research and training strategy, we will deliver on research challenges inherent in making the change to a sustainable energy future and capitalise on the opportunities arising. Students will receive a uniquely broad introduction and overview of energy issues in the first year of their training before developing individual specialisations through research projects. We will address 'Energy Generation', 'Energy Utilisation and Demand Reduction' and 'Energy Industry By-products and Waste'. Specific topics for research will be drawn from Engineering, the Physical and Biological and Social sciences, and include: Advanced materials for batteries and fuel cellsPhotovoltaics, photosynthesis and PV materials Wind and water based technologies Biofuels & alternative fuels High temperature materials and coatings Engine technology Solid, liquid and particulate emissionsEnergy management strategiesTransport and light weight materials Building energy efficiencyProcess efficiencyResource constraints including land and infrastructureEnergy flowsLocal/national policy on energyNuclear energy and nuclear waste immobilisation and storageRecycling of waste and waste heat

在确保能源供应安全的同时向低碳经济转型是英国当今面临的最大挑战之一。不断上涨的燃料价格也为城市和家庭层面的低碳能源供应创新方法创造了机会。通过制定全面的研究和培训战略，我们将应对向可持续能源未来变革所固有的研究挑战，并利用所出现的机遇。学生将在培训的第一年获得对能源问题的独特广泛的介绍和概述，然后通过研究项目发展个人专业知识。我们将讨论“能源生产”、“能源利用和需求减少”以及“能源工业副产品和废物”。具体研究主题将来自工程、物理、生物和社会科学，包括： 电池和燃料电池的先进材料 光伏、光合作用和光伏材料 风能和水基技术 生物燃料和替代燃料 高温材料和涂料 发动机技术 固体、液体和颗粒物排放 能源管理策略 运输和轻质材料 建筑能源效率 过程效率 资源限制，包括土地和资源 基础设施能源流动地方/国家能源政策核能和核废料固定和储存废物和废热回收
