TReQ video series (improving the transparency, reproducibility and quality of your research)
This series of six short videos from our team at University College London introduces the TReQ (Transparency, Reproducibility, Quality) principles and explains their importance and general benefits.
Low income and living in a rural area increases the risk of double energy vulnerability
How can we make sure the transition to a net-zero society is just and ethical, ensuring that those who are on a low-income, vulnerable or marginalised are not further disadvantaged?
Amplify project
We’ve just launched Amplify – a confidential forum for members of the energy research community to share accounts of workplace bullying and harassment.
Heating and comfort
We are looking at the impact Covid has had on domestic heating behaviour and energy use during lockdown to provide a unique insight into the radical change in heating practices that can occur.
Commuting and business travel
We are looking at how remote working altered commuting and business travel patterns during the pandemic and whether these changes are likely to continue.
Space, time and infrastructure
We are advancing our modelling work in heating decarbonisation and transport decarbonisation to assess how we can reduce the cost of network infrastructure needed for net-zero, given future energy demand scenarios from the post-Covid recovery.
Local Green New Deals
We are looking at local responses to climate concerns, and in particular how these are being integrated with local responses to the economic and social problems arising from the pandemic.
Carbon taxes could fund free green electricity and public transport
Using carbon tax revenue to fund free green electricity and public transport could significantly reduce individual households’ greenhouse gas emissions, a new study has found.
SME and sustainability research – the beginning of a new research network?
In this blog, Tina Fawcett and Sam Hampton talk about their desire to facilitate a stronger SME and sustainability research network, through which they hope to support a just transition of SMEs to net-zero.
Using knowledge exchange to help research make sense
CREDS Centre Manager, Clare Downing, reflects on the motivations for undertaking a research paper on knowledge exchange – as a way to encourage researchers to think more about embedding it within their research projects for greater impact.
Rural communities most exposed to risk of energy and transport poverty, new study finds
Rural residents are most likely to be impacted by the twin pressures of energy poverty and transport poverty simultaneously, a new study from our University of Sussex-led research project warns.
Why the PM is wrong: we cannot avoid ‘hairshirtism’ because of the technological promises of ‘guilt-free flights’
In this blog, CREDS researcher Noel Cass argues that radical behaviour change is needed if we are to meet net-zero goals and points to research undertaken by many within CREDS that shows we actually need less.
