Energy & Environment Webinar Series: A 100% renewable UK with a focus on heat, by Prof Mark Barrett

19 Oct 2021, 13:00 – 14:00

Prof Mark Barrett

Prof Mark Barrett has a PhD in Energy Modelling and is Professor of Energy and Environmental System Modelling at the UCL Energy Institute, which he joined in 2006. He has forty-five years experience of modelling energy and transport systems and atmospheric emissions working as a civil servant, consultant, company director and academic.

He has developed models to aid policy development on acid rain, air pollution and human health, greenhouse gas emission, aviation, nuclear power impacts, energy security and nuclear war planning. Energy is a major contributor to these impacts. The models incorporate detailed physical and engineering simulation of energy flows to ensure energy system designs will actually work. Environmental impacts and costs are calculated.

A particular focus of his work is the utilization of energy efficiency to control demand, and renewables to replace fossil energy.
