Energy Seminar – week 8: POSTPONED to 24th January 2023 – Positive low energy futures – Energy demand reduction options for meeting national zero-emission targets in the United Kingdom

John Barrett - speaking in person

Seminar | Week 8 | Tuesday 29 Nov 2022 | ECI - Atmosphere Room
Summary: In recent years, global studies have attempted to understand the contribution that energy demand reduction could make to climate mitigation efforts. I will present the bottom-up, whole-system framework that we developed for the UK to estimate the potential for energy demand reduction at a country level. Replicable for other countries, our framework demonstrates that the UK can reduce energy [...]
