Focus Areas

Large Energy Supply

Objective: To develop technologies to improve efficiency of power generation and to develop sustainable approaches to reducing emissions from existing fossil fuel technologies.

Security of Supply

Objective: To develop a mix of energy technologies (excluding nuclear) to increase security and diversity of supply, consistent with helping to deliver the UK’s energy goals.

Demand Management

Objective: To increase substantially the efficiency of energy use on the demand side.

Transport

Objective: To develop sustainable transport fuels and transport management technologies.

Small Scale Supply

Objective: To develop new and emerging distributed energy supply options using smaller scale technologies that utilise locally available energy sources.

Infrastructure

Objective: To develop sustainable energy infrastructure and supply technologies.

Energy Poverty

Objective: To develop proven and sustainable energy solutions that can be deployed locally to break the current link between environmental harm and the economic and social development of the world’s poorest people.
