Research Could Contribute to the Decarbonization of Thermal Energy in Future

Around 90% of the world's energy use is linked to the generation or manipulation of thermal energy (heat). This typically involves fossil fuels, such as coal, oil or gas, which are some of the major contributors to carbon emissions and climate change. Finding ways to decarbonise heat supplies is crucial if we want to make energy sustainable.

New Technology Automatically Adjusts a Home’s Power Use in Response to Fluctuating Prices

The impacts of climate change are pushing electrical grids around the world to their limits. Last year, an unprecedented polar vortex caused consumers in Texas to crank up their thermostats and overwhelm the power grid, resulting in days-long power outages. And in California, power is preemptively shut off during high fire-risk weather conditions.
