Birmingham Energy Institute
The Birmingham Energy Institute is the focal point for the University and its national and international partners, to create change in the way we deliver, consume and think about energy.
The Institute harnesses expertise from the fundamental sciences and engineering through to business and economics to deliver co-ordinated research, education and the development of global partnerships.
The Midlands region is renowned for its ability to drive technology revolution and provide a nationally leading manufacturing base. The City of Birmingham is setting the green low-carbon agenda nationally. Birmingham City Council’s Green Commission launched a Vision Statement with an aim of building a leading green city and reducing CO2 emissions by 60% by 2027 against a 1990 baseline.
The UK government is committed to facilitating a cost-effective approach to meeting the UK’s emissions by at least 80% of 1990 levels by 2050. The Birmingham Energy Institute is working with these stakeholders to realise this transition.
