At UCL we undertake a wide variety of work
into energy, climate change and CO2 reduction.
Our research focuses around multidisciplinary
teams spanning policy, science, engineering
and the social sciences. Due to the complex
nature of our research UCL takes different
approaches for different issues, allowing us
to understand and tackle some of the world’s
most pressing problems. From hydrogen
storage to efficient building design, the
research that is undertaken at UCL can help
you.
Our accomplishments include:
• The Electrochemical Innovation Lab (EIL)
is a collaboration between the Centre
for CO2 Technology, UCLB and external
partners. Having been established in
2010, it commercialises electrochemical
related technologies.
Services and capabilities offered:
UCL brings value when:
• Energy systems analysis
• Undertaking policy review
• Evidence-based decision- making and
scenario exploration
• Understanding the energy trilemma
• Technology reviews
• Developing change initiatives
• Modelling and measurement of building
structures and system performance

Research themes:
• Energy security
• Sustainable fuels
• Climate change
• Combustion engines and fuel technologies
• UCL research underpinned development of
a global long-term satellite albedo product,
a de facto standard Essential Climate
Variable feeding into climate modelling for
climate change agreements.
• Batteries and energy storage
• UCL research found that lower levels
of brightness are required for white
streetlights than for yellow sodium vapour
lights. Switching to these dimmer lights led
to energy savings of 30–40% and saved
113 GWh of electricity in 2012 alone.
• National and international energy systems
modelling
• MARKAL-TIMES energy models developed
by the UCL Energy Institute have
underpinned every major UK government
energy policy document on long-term
decarbonisation.
• Metrological risk modelling
• Hydrogen technology
• Polar climate modelling
• Societal factors in energy consumption
• Energy efficient buildings
• Demand-side management
• Energy epidemiology
• Technological hazards and disaster
