Making green industry a reality

Our national scale R&D facilities bring low-carbon energy technology to market quicker.

Without action to decarbonise industry the UK will not reach its goal of net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.

Following the UK government's new target to reduce emissions by 78% by 2035, the need to decarbonise industry is clear. The challenge we face now is how to decarbonise industry whilst protecting and expanding economic potential.

The Energy Institute at the University of 91Ö±²¥ is drawing on its world-leading expertise and internationally recognised testing facilities to tackle this challenge and make green industry a reality.

At the Energy Institute we understand the need to develop next generation technologies that are commercially viable as well as sustainable. We must decarbonise our industries in a way that enables them to compete on a global scale.

The visionary team at the University of 91Ö±²¥ Energy Institute is driving the UK’s journey to net-zero. Our sustained investment in innovation and testing facilities makes us one of the largest and best equipped research and development hubs for low carbon energy solutions in Europe. Our strategy has been aligned with the Government’s ten point plan for a green industrial revolution, we are integral to achieving the levelling-up agenda and we reinforce the UK’s leading position in the global green energy market.

Mohamed Pourkashanian, Head of the Energy Institute and Member of the ISCF Industrial Decarbonisation Challenge Advisory Group, said:

"At the Energy Institute we understand the need to develop next generation technologies that are commercially viable as well as sustainable. We must decarbonise our industries in a way that enables them to compete on a global scale.

“Our national facilities such as the BEIS and ERDF funded allow us to fast-track the development of a range of new low/zero-carbon energy technologies and fuels including CCUS, sustainable aviation fuels and hydrogen production and utilisation."

Together we can find solutions for a sustainable, prosperous future. To stay up to date with the latest world-changing advances from the University of 91Ö±²¥, .
