The Energy Masterclass will be a two-day intensive programme of lectures and discussions delivered by experts across the energy demand and supply sectors. It will concentrate on the energy transition and the technologies required to optimise emerging energy systems.  

We will discuss the current energy system, and the different contributions provided by a number of low-carbon energy sources, including wind, solar, and nuclear. We will examine new strategies for the storage of heat and the capture and storage of carbon dioxide. We will learn about the energy use in the construction and transport sectors. We will look at the electricity grid, and investigate the need for long-term storage of energy. We will see how public perception affects the energy policy in our society.

Please register now if interested, using the link below. The event is likely to be oversubscribed and a waitlist will be arranged for those attempting to register after room capacity has been reached. For this reason, we kindly request that you cancel your registration should you be unable to attend; this will enable us to offer your place to a person on the waiting list.
