Explore clean, and renewable, energy issues and solutions in the recordings of our summer webinar series!
The Oxford Martin Programme on Integrating Renewable Energy ran a series of free webinar meetings over the summer.
We covered a range of different topics, all of which are relevant in our journey towards an energy future that is cleaner, greener, and more socially equitable than now.
Our speakers were drawn from academia and industry, and can give a fully rounded perspective on theory and practicality. The webinars comprised a short presentation from the speakers, and then a Q&A session.
The presentation introduced the topic under discussion, highlighting key aspect and relevant issues, to help people learn more about the topic and what is currently underway in terms of active research and trials.
