The Energy, Materials and Environment Research Centre is the focal point for cross-university research interests that are multidisciplinary with a background in the policy governing, societal impacts of, synthesis, optimisation and application of materials and engineering systems for the sustainable use and production of energy.
Energy storage technologies such as batteries and fuel cells as well as mechanical and thermal energy storage systems play a crucial role in our decarbonisation efforts of the energy and transportation sectors.
Long Duration Energy Storage (LDES) systems will play a fundamental role in decarbonising Great Britain's energy system, as they provide flexible and reliable capacity while enabling higher utilisation levels of renewable energies. Historically, LDES systems have been mainly associated with pumped-hydro schemes.
The facility will be able to store excess energy generated by these sources during times of low demand, and then release it during periods of high demand. This will help to balance the supply and demand of energy on the grid and reduce the need for fossil fuelbased power generation.
Energy storage will be an important component of future energy systems. The aim of this roadmap is to assess its role in the UK''s transition to net-zero, and to identify the contribution of research and
