EPSRC Energy Theme visit
The EPSRC Energy Theme, hosted by Energy Futures Lab, will be visiting Imperial College London on 4 July.
This event is for Imperial staff and researchers only. Please register with an Imperial email address, if you do not your order will be cancelled.
Agenda
Opening Session – RSM 1.31, 10:45
- Welcome to Imperial College London – Profesor Mary Ryan
- EPSRC presentation: UKRI update
- EPSRC presentation: Energy Theme strategy update
- Energy Research at Imperial College London – Professor Anna Korre / Professor Mary Ryan
Lunch – RSM G01, 12:30

Impact workshop – RSM G41, 13:30
- This session will cover EPSRC’s vision and strategy for impact. Through discussion sessions they aim to better understand the potential for impact within Energy research, how we can work together to connect the research landscape and tackle the challenges of exploiting the potential impact from research outcomes.
Fellowships session for ECRs – RSM G20, 14:15
- This session is aimed at Early Carrerr Researchers to help them with applying for fellowships. It will include presentations from the EPSRC team, Imperial’s Postdoc and Fellow’s Development Centre Academic and two existing fellows at the College.
- If you have any specific questions, about fellowships, ahead of the session you can ask them in advance to be answered during the session via Slido. Just go to http://www.slido.com and use the code: #R051.

Themes
The event will be looking at the following Decarbonisation challenges:
Decarbonising Electricity – Encompasses the generation and transmission challenges of low carbon energy sources, including; Wind, Marine, Solar and Bioenergy, Nuclear fission and Fusion, plus Carbon capture and Storage technologies, and electricity transmission specifically the effects of a highly intermittent renewables dominated generation system.
Decarbonising Industry – EPSRC aim to contribute to decarbonising industry and support the Government’s Clean Growth Grand Challenge by investing in research which can provide new technologies to reduce carbon emissions from UK industry. Relevant technology areas for this challenge are Hydrogen and Alternative Vectors, CCUS, Fuel Cells and Low carbon fuels
Decarbonising Transport – With 24% of carbon emission in the UK originating from transport. EPSRC has recognised the need to invest in research that can modernise our aviation, rail and shipping sectors through sustainable alternative fuels, improved efficiency and new technologies. Relevant technology areas for this challenge include Bioenergy, Hydrogen & Alternative Vectors, Energy Storage, End Use Energy Demand and Fuel Cells.
Decarbonising Heating and Cooling – Encompasses research that will contribute to reducing the 37% Greenhouse Gas emissions due to current heating and cooling processes, such as burning natural gas, and replacing these with energy efficient and low carbon heating and cooling technologies. Relevant technology areas for this challenge include Bioenergy, Hydrogen & Alternative Vectors, Whole Energy Systems and End Use Energy Demand.
