Research problems linked to this topic
- How can DWP best contribute to net zero by driving reductions in emissions through work and pensions policies, estates and operations?
- What evidence is needed about the use of new technologies - e.g. new and emerging energy technologies, use of novel materials, new manufacturing processes, etc. - to develop an appropriate, effective strategy for their better regulation, enabling their rapid and safe introduction?
- Are there risks associated with this new energy landscape and how could they be best controlled? Do co-located technologies pose new hazards and risks? What new hazards arise from how new energy systems are integrated and controlled?
- Energy and power – Defence is interested in understanding how advances in energy generation and storage and smart materials may promote more efficient energy consumption, reduce logistic footprint, soldier burden and support high power future sensing and weapons systems.
- How can we ensure that new industries such CCS, hydrogen and energy storage are designed with safety and health considerations in mind?
- What role does HSE have in assuring the trust of communities in new and emerging technologies in the energy transition?
- What sustainable vehicle alternatives can policing turn to that are capable of meeting requirements for performance and weight?
- Is there opportunity to transfer knowledge and skills from hydrocarbon technologies to operators of new and emerging technologies in the energy transition?
- How can the role of human factors in the safe and effective operation of a new energy system be effectively understood?
- How can the UK optimise sustainable growth of biomass for use in power generation (bioenergy) and, with appropriate storage, for removal of atmospheric CO2? How can the negative environmental consequences from biomass production and use (on soil quality, water quality, air quality, and biodiversity) be minimised? What’s the full life cycle analysis for different feedstock? What’s the scalability of different feedstocks within sustainable limits?
- Given the known effects that hydrogen can have on materials how can the long-term performance of hydrogen infrastructure be assured?
- How do low or no emission power methods for 4G mobile masts, such as wind, solar, hydrogen, and other methods, compare to diesel generation power in terms of ;(i) viability, (ii) reliability, (iii) durability, (iv) cost to operate?
