EPSRC ENZ Workshop: Challenges & Opportunities of Net Zero Energy-Transport Pathways

Zoom

Abstract

‘This workshop is to share the progres of and stakeholer’’s perspective on the research project EFORES (Electric Fleets with On-site Renewable Energy Sources,EP/W028727/1, one of the seven new feasibility study projects to find digital solutions to reducing energy demand, jointly sponsored by EPSRC and Siemens.By bringing researchers, industry leaders, technology innovation people and local councils together in this workshop,we aim at raising awareness of digital solutions to promoting EVs and renewable energy sources in the pathways of road transport decarbonisation.
