Research projects
This research aims at developing a practical model to understand how fuel poverty could be minimised in the UK whilst simultaneously delivering upon net-zero targets for home heating.
- Start date: 1 November 2021
- End date: 30 April 2022.
This project will develop a rapid alternative cultivation system for dedicated bioenergy feedstocks.
- Start date: 1 August 2021
- End date: 31 January 2022.
