Durham Energy Institute
Durham Energy Institute is delivering understanding, leadership and solutions for a secure low carbon future.
About DEI
Decarbonising energy is one of the most pressing challenges facing the world today. The Durham Energy Institute is accelerating inclusive energy transitions through world-leading research.
To meet current targets for reducing greenhouse emissions, addressing climate change and achieving the sustainable development goals, the global energy system needs to move towards renewable energy at unprecedented pace and scale. We need to increase sources of secure low-carbon energy, reduce fossil fuel use and change energy-use practices in our society and industry. However, to be sustainable, decarbonisation must at least avoid increasing the inequalities - and ideally, start to reduce them.
