The UK is facing an energy crisis: UK domestic heating, lighting, power and personal travel accounted for 44% of all CO2 emissions betweem 1990 amd 2005, while emissions in the household sector rose by 40%. When combined with the threat of fuel poverty, driven by the estimated trebling of fuel prices within the next five years, affecting more and more households and a decline in fossil fuels stocks, there is no doubt that the UK is facing a severe problem.
In order to address these challenges, and building on the University’s internationally recognised strengths in Teaching and Learning, Research and Innovation and Enterprise and Engagement the University has developed an interdisciplinary ‘Energy Theme’.
