Energy Seminar – Week 4: Heat pumps: how to scale this critical clean energy technology across the world?
Jan Rosenow - speaking in person and online
Seminar | Week 4 | Tuesday 07 Feb 2023 | Atmosphere Room - ECI OUCE | Slides available
Summary: Heat pumps are widely recognized as a key clean energy technology in the energy transition. While the global heat pump market has expanded significantly, more than doubling in some countries in a single year, expanded policy support will be needed to build confidence in the technology and meet climate goals.

SLES and the DSO: The Role of the DSO in Unlocking SLES Value
Thursday 26 Jan 2023 | Online
The UK’s Distribution Network Operators (DNOs) are embarking on the journey to the creation of Distribution System Operators (DSOs), as the electricity networks adapt to the roll-out of smart grid technologies, including smart meters, and increasing uses of storage and flexibility services.
As such, DSOs are critical to the success of Smart Local Energy Systems. This workshop will explore how DSOs [...]

Energy Seminar – week 2: Positive low energy futures – Energy demand reduction options for meeting national zero-emission targets in the United Kingdom
John Barrett - speaking in person and online
Seminar | Week 2 | Tuesday 24 Jan 2023 | Atmosphere Room - ECI OUCE | Slides available
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 [...]

Energy Seminar – Week 1: Energy policy at a time of multiple crises: is the UK government getting it right?
Jim Watson - speaking in person and online
Seminar | Week 1 | Tuesday 17 Jan 2023 | Main Lecture Theatre, Oxford University Centre for the Environment | Slides available
Summary: Energy policy has rarely been so challenging. The imperative to rapidly reduce emissions to climate change has been reinforced by increasing evidence of climate change impacts. During the past year, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has accelerated increases in oil and gas prices, with serious implications for Europe and many other regions of the world. This has piled pressure on [...]

SLES and Just Transitions: The Value of SLES for Local Communities
Tuesday 13 Dec 2022 | Online
A workshop to explore the ways in which SLES (Smart Local Energy Systems) can tackle energy injustice as we aim for local Just Transitions.
About this event
A just transition is key to ensuring that, as we decarbonise, we minimise rather than entrench injustices, and this is just as true in a local context as it is nationally and internationally.
This workshop will [...]

CREDS in Conversation series: Digitisation for People and the Planet
Tuesday 06 Dec 2022 | Online
Digitalisation is one of the high-level trends that will significantly impact future energy demand and carbon emissions, whilst creating social challenges and opportunities. Drawing on work within CREDS and by leading European researchers, this seminar will examine how pathways for digitalisation in energy and mobility could be directed towards reducing energy demand and enhancing social justice.
