📅 Upcoming Events
Attend a Climate Fresk Workshop - Saturday 6th Dec 12pm @ Fitzwilliam College
Exciting opportunity to attend a Climate Collage workshop! Guided by a professional, the workshop will explore the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) report through a fun card-matching game and structured discussions around identifying and quantifying the most effective actions.
This event is a fantastic opportunity to network with professionals and students across Cambridge who are passionate about climate, all while learning more about climate science and policy.
📅 When: Saturday 6th December, 12:00 - 15:00 (refreshments provided)
📍 Where: Upper Hall 1, Fitzwilliam College
Cambridge Masterclass in Energy Supply and Demand - Dec 8-9th @ Institute of Energy and Environmental Flows
The Cambridge Energy Masterclass is a two-day intensive meeting of lectures and discussions, with talks from leading experts in various aspects of energy demand and supply. It focuses on the energy transition and the technologies needed to optimise new energy systems.
We will discuss the current energy system, and the different contributions provided by a number of low-carbon energy sources, including wind, solar, and nuclear. We will examine new strategies for the storage of heat and the capture and storage of carbon dioxide. We will learn about the energy use in the construction and transport sectors. We will look at the electricity grid, and investigate the need for long-term storage of energy. We will see how public perception affects the energy policy in our society.
