Energy and sustainability
We are committed to training the next generation of engineers to create the low-carbon technologies and systems required to address energy security, sustainability, and affordability.
We are engineering a sustainable, decarbonised future for our energy systems and urban environments. We take a systems-led approach to the circular economy, viewing resource management and infrastructure as an interconnected whole. From sustainable buildings to advanced energy technologies, our solutions eliminate waste and prioritise the recovery of critical materials. We are driving the UK’s 2030 targets by enhancing renewable integration and developing the energy storage solutions essential for grid stability. We are rapidly advancing Hydrogen and CCUS (Carbon Capture, Utilisation, and Storage) to bridge the gap to net zero. For secure, low-carbon baseload power, we are at the forefront of Fusion and Small Modular Reactor (SMR) research.
