Humans are great innovators, and the last 25 years have seen big strides in low carbon tech and even regional decarbonisation policy. The politics of cooperating at a global level is probably our biggest challenge yet though - all eyes on #COP26 to see what we can achieve.

Very excited to announce our group's involvement in a major new #EPSRC-funded project to identify effective and socially just scenarios for decarbonising heat in the UK. DISPATCH kicks off in September 2021. ukri.org/news/eleven-project…

Our IDEAL Household Energy Dataset now open access for energy research: electricity, gas, boiler & room temp. data, occupant surveys weather. 255 homes ( appliance usage for 35). Data: doi.org/10.7488/ds/2836. @ScientificData paper: https​://doi.org/10.1038/s41597-021-00921-y.

Scotland will go greener, faster under new, tougher climate change proposals. @scotgov has lodged amendments to the Climate Change Bill to set a legally binding target of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2045 at the latest. Read more: bit.ly/2J675gy
