1 energy futures lab An institute of Imperial College London securing our energy future
2 introduction Dr Johannes Spinneken (L), Energy Futures Lab Director of Education, operates the multi-dimensional wave basin at the Hydrodynamics Laboratory. BY 2050, THE UK HAS TO REDUCE ITS CARBON DIOXIDE OUTPUT significantly. Providing a secure and sustainable energy supply for the future is one of society s key issues. The Energy Futures Lab creates a focal point for interdisciplinary energy research across Imperial College London by enabling support, funding, training and global partnerships for our researchers and students. The Energy Futures Lab works with around 600 researchers at Imperial through a series of Grand Challenge research programmes and research networks. Solutions to the energy problem include improving our existing technologies, generating new solutions, and encouraging new collaborations between traditional research disciplines, backed up by sound economics and robust policy advice. By combining research with training, and technologies with advice, the Energy Futures Lab is contributing to the development of a sustainable and secure energy future.
3 Energy remains a critical global challenge, which Imperial is uniquely placed to address. At the Energy Futures Lab we provide a focus for Imperial s research on a wide range of energy issues, bringing together researchers from different disciplines to address the greatest challenges. We also work closely with policy makers and industry to ensure our research has a real and positive impact. «Professor Tim Green, Director, Energy Futures Lab GRAND CHALLENGES ARE multi-disciplinary, multi-million pound research programmes to help answer the questions of how to generate, supply and utilise our energy in a sustainable way in the future. grand challenges Solar to Fuels This emerging programme seeks to harness solar energy to reduce carbon dioxide into chemical fuels for use in applications such as the aviation sector. The programme incorporates research funded through the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) in nanotechnology and sustainable hydrogen production. PhD student Saurabh M Shah examines high resolution confocal images of carbonate rocks Energy Storage As a key enabling technology, energy storage devices will facilitate the roll out of intermittent renewable energy technologies. The programme tackles grid scale technologies and the Energy Futures Lab acts as the national focal point for energy storage researchers through its EPSRC funded networking activities. Smart Cities Imperial has concentrated interdisciplinary expertise on how cities can use their resources most efficiently. Researchers have developed state-of-the-art modelling and policy strategies to improve the efficiency of both existing and new-built cities. Clean Fossil Fuels In collaboration with Shell, Imperial researchers are developing ways to improve extraction of difficult hydrocarbons with minimal greenhouse gas release, and enhance efficient delivery of energy and chemicals to the consumer. Sustainable Gas Through the support of BG Group, Imperial has established the Sustainable Gas Institute to deliver world-leading research into sustainable natural gas. Research is concentrated on innovation in gas systems, greater energy efficiency and the clean use of gas through carbon capture technologies.

At Imperial we are performing ground-breaking research into super-efficient solar cells, plastic photovoltaics, bioenergy, and using algae and chemical catalysts to turn sunlight and water directly into hydrogen fuel. Our Marine Renewable Network also makes extensive use of a 3000m 2 Hydrodynamics Laboratory to investigate tidal power and offshore wind structures. The Centre for Nuclear Engineering works closely with industry and regulators to research the safe and efficient life extension of existing nuclear power plants. Meanwhile our Plasma Physics Group uses a terawatt pulsed power generator to perform research on inertial confinement fusion, a potential clean and abundant power source for the future. research Clean Fossil Fuels Over two thirds of the UK s electricity generation still comes from fossil fuels. To manage this consumption the Energy Futures Lab is performing vital research into carbon capture programmes and cleaner extraction methods. The Qatar Carbonates and Carbon Storage Research Centre is looking at how we can efficiently extract the carbon dioxide from burnt fossil fuels and securely store it underground. Old carbonate reservoirs make the perfect location for this, as the carbon is easily absorbed into porous sandstone and shale rock. Imperial s Carbon Capture Pilot Plant provides researchers and students with an industrial scale facility, helping to secure the necessary training and knowledge for future engineers. Research also takes place on the processing of fossil fuels before they ever leave the ground. Subsurface processing combined with carbon capture and storage can open the way for the clean use of ONGOING RESEARCH traditional sources of energy. is vital to improving our use of existing technology and developing novel and sustainable technologies for the future.
5 Low Carbon Transport Transport accounts for a quarter of carbon dioxide emissions in the UK, making decarbonisation vital in this fast-changing sector. With concentration on fundamental battery research, Imperial is driving ahead with producing lighter, faster-charging and more reliable batteries for electric vehicles. In addition we have leading expertise in alternative technologies such as hydrogen fuel cells and biofuels. Existing technology can be made more efficient with turbochargers and smaller engines. The Centre for Transport Studies is also looking to reduce congestion and incidents with more organised transport systems, coordinating engine management systems, traffic signal control and vehicle navigation. Imperial students are encouraged to design, build and even race electric and hybrid vehicles through our Racing Green initiative. In 2010 students built a long-range electric vehicle and drove it 26,000 miles from Alaska to Argentina using only electric charging points, proving the technology s potential. Policy and Innovation The future of energy is not decided at the technology level alone. Imperial s Centre for Energy Policy and Technology (ICEPT) provides focus on the economic, legal and institutional aspects of energy and environmental policies, and provides key advice to public and regulatory bodies. Key research is done on important policy areas such as carbon pricing and electricity market reform, helping to inform national and international policy. The Energy Business Research Laboratory developers theoretical, managerial and policy insight into economically creating and implementing sustainable technologies. We also help springboard green technologies through Imperial Innovations and other initiatives. Energy Infrastructure Using energy more intelligently can help reduce our usage drastically and make renewable technologies more viable. The Centre for Process Systems Engineering designs multiscale models for energy usage, showing how cities and buildings can be better designed to consume less. We work with large company such as Sainsburys supermarket to help businesses reduce both their expenditure and their carbon impact. Imperial s Low Carbon Grids project is researching new gridscale energy storage technologies, letting us cope better with intermittent renewables and store energy for when demand is higher.
