As the world faces a decisive moment in the fight against the climate crisis, with global leaders agreeing at COP28 to “transition away” from fossil fuels as the key driver of carbon emissions and rising global temperatures, the Institute is a global hub for energy research, with a rich body of expertise and partnerships across governments and industry.
Achieving this energy transition will be complex. Governments and industries need to make sure energy is accessible, affordable and secure for people around the world, while at the same time pursuing collective efforts to cut carbon emissions.
Working across areas including shipping and travel, housing and heating, and energy transition and net zero, the Institute is at the forefront of pioneering research that has significantly advanced our understanding of sustainable energy. Our research and expertise highlight how the global energy transition can be achieved, harnessing the power of collaboration and digital innovation. We are equipping the next generation of leaders to deliver the global energy transition through our education programmes – building future skills across energy technologies, policy, markets and economics.
