Clean Energy Engineering and Decarbonisation
Clean Energy Engineering and Decarbonisation addresses possibly the most important challenge facing society; decarbonisation of energy generation and use. The Theme covers aspects of this including energy generation from offshore sources, wind and solar, energy storage, and life-cycle analysis of energy systems; distribution of power through smart networks; and its use in transport, particularly commercial use.
