Unleashing Physics to Power the UK Energy Sector
Abstract:
The report identifies key strengths, opportunities, issues and, most importantly, actionable interventions that could see the sector thrive as it faces the challenges thrown up by climate change, and the goals of ensuring energy security, reaching net zero and delivering economic growth.
The IOP commissioned the expertise of its membership to provide robust scientific evidence on priority technology advancements for nuclear and renewable energy generation (nuclear power, photovoltaics), energy storage (batteries) and transmission (high-temperature superconductors).
The Faraday Institution was pleased to contribute to the section on battery energy storage via the expertise of Martin Freer and Stephen Gifford.
The report comes to conclusions in key areas, such as R&D, research and scale-up infrastructure, skills development, and recycling and sustainability, outlining the following top priorities.
