In this interactive workshop we will talk about where the energy which powers our lights comes from, and why some light bulbs waste lots of energy.

Speaker: Dr Ruchi Choudhary (Department of Engineering) 

One drop of liquid ammonia has roughly the same energy content as an entire balloon of hydrogen gas. Joseph and Collin, researchers from the Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology are studying how to harness this energy and make ammonia the ‘fuel of the future’.

West Cambridge is a hub for research excellence. In this self-guided tour of the site, participants will explore the different researcher topics that are being studied (past, present, and future!), with an energy emphasis. Along the way you’ll gather some useful knowledge, trinkets, and even perform outdoor experiments.

Join the Henry Royce Institute for our flagship stakeholder conference to explore Royce’s mission to develop advanced materials for a sustainable society.
