Abstract
How should the UK meet its future energy needs? How can the UK reduce demand? How should different supply technologies be exploited? And how can individual technologies be best combined to supply the whole country? The UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC) aims to answer these questions. Its mission is to be the UK's pre-eminent centre of research on sustainable energy systems. Toachieve this, the centre is establishing a comprehensive database of energy research, developmentand demonstration competences in the UK. The centre will also act as the portal for the UK energy research community to and from both UK stakeholders and the international energy research community. Established in 2002, UKERC is part of the £28m cross-research council programme Towards a Sustainable Energy Economy (TSEC). It is funded by ESRC, the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) and the Engineering & Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC).
