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.

Drop-in fuels from sunlight and air

Professor Aldo Steinfeld, Chair of Renewable Energy Carriers, ETH Zurich

Tuesday 29 Nov 2022 | Oxford Martin School
Developing solar technologies for producing carbon-neutral transportation fuels has become a global energy challenge, especially for the long-haul aviation sector. A promising solution are drop-in fuels produced from H2O and CO2 − synthetic alternatives for petroleum-derived liquid hydrocarbons such as kerosene, gasoline or diesel, which are compatible with the worldwide existing infrastructures for fuel distribution, storage, and end-use. Professor Aldo [...]
