The importance of energy use in mitigating climate change: some recent findings

In this year's hybrid lecture Nick Eyre, Director of the Centre for Research into Energy Demand Solutions, will share his views on how the UK final energy use could be halved by 2050, reducing UK per capita energy use to below the current global average. These strategies involve reducing energy demand in all the main energy-using sectors.

Nick will explain his thoughts on how current energy demand reduction policies in the UK are insufficient to meet the challenge of net zero targets. Voluntary behaviour change is insufficient without sustainable infrastructure investment, regulation and economic incentives.

Nick will also outline how energy system electrification and current transport, buildings, materials, and food processes will need to change to contribute to this reduction in demand, and how engineers can be a part of this change.

Register your place and join us for this lecture in December either online or in person at One Birdcage Walk; free and open to all.

Follow this to book in person or online and apologies in advance for the IMechE's eyewateringly clunky booking system, you will get there if you persist! It's worth the effort I promise.
