About
Whilst there has been positive progress to celebrate, there remains much more to be decided and done to transition the whole energy system successfully to be low carbon.
The issues involved impact the entire energy system (not only electricity), and there is a need to draw on a wide range of domestic and international perspectives in this changed global and UK context for net zero.
Do countries need to increase delivery pace to meet 2030 aims? Has success been made more complex in a fractured world? What is the role and value of energy in systems and for communities and people? What influence do market design, system considerations, legacy and finance have in the transition?
BIEE’s biennial Research Conference offers an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of current work on these issues, hear from experts and join the debate on pathways for the future. As time passes, it remains vital for academic, business and policy experts to be in close contact. The two days will offer an unrivalled opportunity to speak directly to specialists across these three groups.
Plenary sessions will look at the political and environmental context and will hear from leading policymakers and thinkers on key topics in the transition.
In-depth papers over two days will look at themes including the economic, environmental and geopolitical context, progress and innovation in the solutions being deployed, the role of finance and investment in the transition, the approaches taken to legacy infrastructure, and new approaches to modelling this ever smarter and more complex system.
