Join us online for an insightful discussion on one of the most fundamental challenges of our time: the energy trilemma or how we ensure communities have access to the energy they need at a cost they can afford whilst not destroying the planet in the process.
Bringing together leading experts from various disciplines across the University, this discussion will explore the technical, political and societal complexities of the energy transition and offer different perspectives on solutions that can balance the competing needs of energy security, affordability, and environmental sustainability.
Panelists:
- Dr Joe Armstrong, Lecturer, Department of Geology and Geophysics, University of Aberdeen.
- Dr Kate Gormley, Interdisciplinary Fellow, School of Biological Sciences, University of Aberdeen.
- Dr Alfonso Martinez-Felipe, Senior Lecturer, School of Engineering, University of Aberdeen.
- Dr Piotr Niewiadomski, Senior Lecturer, Department of Geography and Environment, University of Aberdeen.
- Prof John Underhill (Chair), Director of the Centre for Energy Transition, University of Aberdeen.
The Energy Transition and its component parts of Security, Affordability and Sustainability is one of the key global challenges facing society and our way of life today. Our Centre for Energy Transition at the University of Aberdeen is committed to undertaking data-driven, evidence-based technical research to find energy solutions compatible with the UN Sustainability Goals and to provide the relevant skills training to support people and communities who seek to deliver the Energy Transition.
