Cambridge Masterclass in Energy Supply and Demand

The Masterclass is a two-day meeting (8-9 Dec) of lectures and discussion, with talks from the leading experts in energy supply and demand.

The Cambridge Energy Masterclass is a two-day intensive meeting of lectures and discussions, with talks from leading experts in various aspects of energy demand and supply. It focuses on the energy transition and the technologies needed to optimise new 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.
