Durham Energy Institute

Decarbonising energy is one of the most pressing challenges facing the world today. Approaching energy as socio-technical helps us to understand solutions fully and from many perspectives. Durham Energy Institute works to ensure sustainable and resilient low-carbon energy systems can be developed which meet the needs of different contexts and ensure fair access for everyone. Examples of our leadership in energy research include: Promoting a whole-systems approach to energy research integrating the social, environmental, economic, policy, technical and regulatory implications of energy pathways and choices. Best practice in innovative training for future energy leaders. World-leading research to make Offshore Wind more affordable and reliable.
