The UK can more than halve its energy demand by 2050 and improve quality of life
First-of-its-kind research from CREDS shows that it will be difficult and expensive to meet the UK’s net-zero target without serious measures to reduce demand for energy.
CREDS interdisciplinary energy demand studentships call Q&A
Following the webinar on our new studentships call, the questions asked have been answered and the presentation made available to download.
Re-thinking the zero carbon energy transition
Nick Eyre explores a new way of thinking about the energy transition, as well as showing how it will lead to major opportunities for energy efficiency.
The contribution energy demand reduction could make to tackling the climate emergency
Our upcoming report, The role of energy demand reduction in achieving net-zero in the UK, will be launched on 6 October. In this blog, Sam Betts-Davies and John Barrett point to one of the key findings that the UK could reduce its energy demand by 52% by 2050 relative to 2020 levels.
Generating Mobility Futures
Greg Marsden gives a taster on our upcoming new report which addresses the issue of how much energy we need for everyday life and what the carbon implications of different futures might be.
Who needs flexibility anyway?
Can variable pricing deliver flexibility? Ben Anderson and Tom Rushby explore whether the consumer needs to be engaged in system flexibility.
