DEI supported a Climate Change Fair in Barnard Castle in November which aimed to outline to residents some simple steps people can take at a local level to help tackle climate change.

Globally, heating our homes and businesses accounts for nearly half of all energy consumption and in the UK 77% of our heating is produced using fossil fuels. Decarbonising heat is essential if targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions are to be met. Thanks to the work of Durham Energy Institute (DEI), we are at the forefront of research into how to achieve this.

DEI and its partners have launched a campaign to be exhibited at COP26 Green Zone in Glasgow on November 11th to highlight the importance of innovations for decarbonising heat to meet the goals of the conference.

Did you know that methane released by animals such as cows accounts for about 50 per cent of agricultural greenhouse gas emissions, and that one third of this is released indoors, in barns and sheds?

Professor Simon Hogg, DEIs Ørsted Professor in Renewable Energy & Head of the Department of Engineering, Durham University, comments on the release of the UK’s Net Zero Strategy.

Tapping into geothermal energy would be a ‘win-win’ for tackling climate change – and capturing and storing carbon can also make an invaluable contribution. Those are two arguments outlined by Professor Jon Gluyas, from our Durham Energy Institute, as part of a new essay collection.

How can the world tackle the climate crisis and achieve a sustainable recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic in order to protect and promote public health? This autumn Durham University is leading a range of events exploring this issue.
