TT26 Energy Seminar – Week 5: Exploring the social mandate for reducing energy demand

Andy Yuille, Climate Citizens research group at the Tyndall Centre, University of Manchester

Tuesday 26 May 2026 | Diversity Room - ECI, OUCE
Summary: While support for net zero has become more fragmented, the majority of the UK public are still concerned about, and support action on, climate change. Recent research suggests that the level of ambition for demand-side measures in meeting our climate targets has been too constrained. This seminar will discuss the results of a two-year citizens’ panel exploring the social [...]

TT26 Energy Seminar – Week 6: The Future of Energy for Transport: Less about source and more about distribution

Dr Hannah Budnitz, Transport Studies Unit

Tuesday 02 Jun 2026 | Diversity Room - ECI, OUCE
Summary: Transport is electrifying, and the transition is accelerating. The question is not so much whether electricity is the future of energy for (most) transport, but rather what modes of electrically powered transport are available in which geographies and for whose use? How are the energy and transport systems integrated – and how does that shape or reflect the built [...]

TT26 Energy Seminar – Week 7: Is residential battery and solar the future for UK homes? Some data-driven thoughts

David Howey, University of Oxford

Tuesday 09 Jun 2026 | ECI-OUCE
Summary: David installed a 4 kWp solar array and a 10 kWh battery system at his home in Oxford in 2023. In this talk, David will share what the data so far reveal about system performance, including operational modes, energy production and throughput, and the resulting cost savings and payback. He will also use historical data to explore how different [...]
