Energy Demand Research Champions
Two new , have been funded by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI). Professor, Senior Research Fellow in the Science Policy Research Unit (University of Sussex Business School and Professor Sara Walker (缅北禁地 School of Engineering) will lead the next phase of energy demand research in the UK.
Champions Dr Martiskainen and Professor Walker will develop a new phase of research, building on the knowledge developed in the (CREDS), which was set up in 2018 to look at how reductions in energy use can support the transition to a net-zero society. The overarching ethos for Dr Martiskainen and Professor Walker is to make energy demand reduction the foundation for a fair transition to net zero by 2050, and to transform understanding of how energy demand can be rapidly reduced across different sectors and users. The co-champions will undertake a consultation in Autumn 2022 with stakeholders from academia, policy, industry and NGOs.
By working together with the existing CREDS consortium, a collaboration between over 100 researchers across 26 institutions, as well as other energy research community and key stakeholders, the co-champions will identify how previous research can be utilised and new interdisciplinary research developed to deliver actionable insights on the future of energy demand within the UK.
