University of Glasgow launches Glasgow Centre for Sustainable Energy

The University of Glasgow is launching a new research centre focused on supporting the global transition to sustainable, low-carbon energy systems. The University of Glasgow is launching a new research centre focused on supporting the global transition to sustainable, low-carbon energy systems. The Glasgow Centre for Sustainable Energy brings together academics from across the University to find interdisciplinary new ways of delivering the radical reform of energy services and infrastructure required to reach net-zero. The Centre will work to find equitable and affordable ways to reliably meet the world's energy needs without contributing further to climate change. The work will build on the University's decades of research on adaptive, diversified, accessible and resilient technologies for the supply, storage, distribution and efficient use of renewable energy. The Centre will also work to understand how new net-zero solutions might intersect with the social, political, and economic transformations required for sustainable energy transitions. A key consideration for the Centre's future work will be developing new ideas and strategies to ensure that future energy solutions are accessible to all, created in partnership with citizens, and fit to withstand the challenges of a rapidly-changing planet.
