Ethan Feaver is a Research Assistant at the Centre for Energy and the Environment (CEE). He primarily conducts bespoke desk-based research for local authorities and other public bodies across a breadth of environmental areas including renewable energy, net-zero and the built environment.
Ethan graduated from UCL in 2023 with a first-class honours MSci Chemistry degree. He received the Dean’s List Award for achieving results in the top 5% of all departmental graduates. Ethan completed his third-year thesis on the interaction between atmospheric air pollutants and greenhouse gases. He produced a low-cost, portable sensor for heavy metal and persistent organic pollution in drinking water for his final-year project.
Ethan joined the CEE in 2024 where he has worked on numerous projects for local authorities including regularly producing organisational carbon footprints, territorial greenhouse gas inventories and carbon descent strategies for local authorities enabling them to better understand their environmental impact and the cost of decarbonisation. He also created a complex, multi-site, hourly model of energy use across an industrial estate to determine carbon emissions and grid capacity constraints following various non-domestic retrofit measures such as solar PV, battery storage, EV charging, heat pumps and industrial electrification.
In 2025 Ethan worked under Dr Matt Eames on an international research effort spearheaded by the African Centre of Excellence for Cooling and Cold Chains to provide current and future weather files to aid the delivery of cooling networks through Rwanda to facilitate the storage and transport of food and vaccines.
