Energy Seminar – Week 5: Regen’s ‘Go West!’ a study exploring the benefits of a more east-west balanced offshore wind fleet
Jack Adkins - speaking in person and online
Seminar | Week 5 | Tuesday 23 May 2023 | Atmosphere Room - ECI OUCE | Slides available
A clear delivery plan is essential for the UK to meet its sector deal target of installing 50GW of offshore wind by 2030, with some industry projections of up to 110 GW by 2050. With almost three-quarters of the UK’s current offshore wind capacity on the east coast of Great Britain, Regen’s ‘Go West!’ study explores and identifies the benefits [...]

Just transitions and air travel: air travel inequality and distributional impacts of flight taxes
Prof Milena Buchs (University of Leeds)
Wednesday 03 May 2023 | Desert Room
Large demand reductions need to be realised in the transport sector for the UK to meet its climate targets. Scholars and policy makers increasingly acknowledge that demand reduction needs to be designed in a socially fair way that focuses responsibility on those who have contributed more to climate change and have more capacity to bear cost, while ensuring that the [...]
