//podcastplus.net/feed/decarbon8-podcast~80d71d70 DecarboN8 is an EPSRC funded network seeking to bring together business, government and academia across the North of England. We aim to create an innovation ecosystem and test bed environment which allows us to trial and accelerate the adoption of low carbon transport solutions. In working across the North, the DecarboN8 network is looking to take a place-based approach recognising that different solutions might be needed for different types of area – but also acknowledging that sometimes we might need this to be joined up and consistent in order to get benefits at scale.

But what does place-based decarbonisation mean and how might it shape the final Decarbonisation Plan?    Wed, 29 Jul 2020 11:17:06 +0000 https://anchor.fm/s/26e46bc0/podcast/play/17252481/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2020-6-29%2F1b396da4-d2bd-0424-a1b3-474df5d01d56.mp3 https://anchor.fm/s/26e46bc0/podcast/play/15652412/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fproduction%2F2020-5-24%2F84964079-48000-2-ab3bed408a83b.mp3 DecarboN8 Future Transport Fuels Webinar Series A series of webinars brought to you by DecarboN8's Future Transport Fuels research theme aimed at academics, students, policymakers, businesses, civil society and anyone interested in the decarbonisation of transport in the UK. Exploring the economic and societal impacts of the roll out of electric vehicles in the UK Over the last four years, CEP has applied its economy-wide approach to analysing the likely wider economy impacts of enabling the roll-out of electric vehicles in the UK. This is seen as a key component of reducing emissions from private transport and facilitating the transition to net zero. In this webinar we will discuss our latest research that explores the macro economic and societal impacts of both investing to reinforce the electricity network and from shifting fueling from fossil fuels to electricity. We will also explore considerations for a ‘Just Transition’ and regulatory and policy implications. Speaker Professor...

Decarbonising Transport by 2050 – the view from government This webinar will discuss the DfT’s activities on transport decarbonisation including the Transport Decarbonisation Plan, the Science Plan and the R&D required to deliver on the net-zero target, including the challenge in the context of the coronavirus outbreak. Speaker Professor Phil Blythe CEng FIET is Chief Scientific Adviser for the Department for Transport and Professor of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) at Newcastle University. Prior to joining the Department for Transport he was Director of the Transport Operations Research Group for 13 years. Phil’s academic focus has been the development of ITS – the use of in...

The Role of Bioenergy in the UK's Decarbonisation Strategy   This webinar will introduce bioenergy as low carbon sustainable energy option that may be applied to decarbonise multiple sectors in the UK and beyond. Bioenergy is highly flexible, where through a wide range of biomass fuel and technology options can provide heat, power and transport fuels to decarbonise the UK energy sector, and advanced chemicals to drive the UK bio-economy. In contrast to most other renewable technologies, bioenergy is intrinsically linked to the land, people, industry and environmental systems - these close interactions mean bioenergy systems can both impacts and benefits. It is therefore import...
