Lithium-ion batteries play a large part in the use of consumer electronics, electric vehicles and large scale, renewable energy storage systems and projections indicate significant growth in these areas of application.
A few years ago, Myles Allen, University of Oxford, asked a Chinese delegate at a climate conference why Beijing had gone for “carbon neutrality” for its 2060 target rather than “climate neutrality” or “net zero”, both of which were more fashionable terms at the time.
The 13th Oxford Energy Day, hosted by the Oxford Energy Network and the ZERO Institute, took place on Wednesday 24 September 2025 at the Mathematics Institute, Oxford. With the theme “Energy & Data: Opportunities and challenges for the energy transition”, the day brought together research...
Jesus Lizana, Nicole Miranda and Radhika Khosla at the University of Oxford say in The Conversation that northern Europe is dangerously unprepared for the heat of the near future.
The closing date for registration to attend this year’s Oxford Energy Day is this Wednesday 10th September 12pm.
With heatwaves becoming hotter and more frequent, demand for air conditioning is expected to rise significantly. However, if the UK and similar countries respond to hotter summers simply by installing more AC, they risk creating a costly, energy-hungry and more unequal future. But there’s a coo...
National Grid is reshaping how it engages with Britain’s energy supply sector through an £8bn (US$10bn) supply chain initiative, aimed at speeding up the country’s shift towards clean electricity, creating new jobs and preparing the UK grid for a net zero future.
Lighter, cheaper and more efficient solar power for satellites and spacecraft could be possible with a new coating for perovskite solar cells developed by engineers at Surrey University.
From iron-air batteries to molten salt storage, a new wave of energy storage innovation is unlocking long-duration, low-cost resilience for tomorrow’s grid.
