Industrial Heat Decarbonisation Workshop

Aims of the Workshop

This one-day workshop will bring together researchers from the EPSRC Network+ Decarbonisation of Heating and Cooling and the Industrial Decarbonisation and Research & Innovation Centre with stakeholders from national and local government, regulators and industry to discuss the latest research findings and identify what more needs to be done to accelerate the deployment of decarbonised heating and cooling technologies. The topics covered will include:

· Electrification

· Hydrogen

· Other emerging heating and cooling technologies

· Thermal energy storage

· Heating and cooling networks

· Policy and regulation

· Business models

Workshop Outputs:

• Overview of EPSRC research on industrial heating and cooling
• Latest policy developments for decarbonising industrial heat
• Identification of future research needs
• Networking and new contacts
• A vision for the future

This workshop is part of a programme of events organised by Network H+C with the aim of collective advancement of science, engineering and technology combined with planning, demand management and effective policy
