A number of Cambridge engineers have been awarded funding for various research projects focused on energy transitions to achieve net zero carbon by 2050.
Awarded by the University of Cambridge’s Energy Interdisciplinary Research Centre (IRC), the latest round of Small Grants will support interdisciplinary teams working across a variety of topics. These include:
- The impact of non-exhaust emissions on health
- Energy use in Ethiopian low-income housing
- Policy for low carbon emissions infrastructure projects in Ghana
- Energy justice assessment of tidal energy in the UK
- And an investigation into the electric road system infrastructure across different countries.
Funded by the Isaac Newton Trust / the Energy Policy Research Group (EPRG) and the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) Discipline Hopping for Environmental Solutions initiative, these research projects will help to accelerate the transition to a zero carbon world.
