Focus and Opportunity
• Incumbent Economics dominated by centralised and fossil Energy• CCS, nuclear ??
• Re-engineer to decentralised • Refocus to transport, heat, chemicals• Waste to energy
• Renewables Potential• Intermittency and Availability• Enabled by Storage• Export
• Save CO2 sooner
Power to the People
Address global warming
• Reduce
– Efficiency
– Renewables
– Change
• Remove
– Sequestration
– Utilisation – Chemicals
– Sustainable forestry
– Increasing Carbon in Soils

The real challenges and rewards are in how we put things together
We need storage

NEXGENNA- NEXT GENERATION OF NA-ION BATTERIESINTRODUCTION- KEY AIMS AND IMPORTANCE
16
• NEXGENNA aims to deliver high-performance, cost-competitive, safe and long cycle Na-ion batteries to enable UK-based industry sector to grow world-leaders of this technology.
• Multidisciplinary approach with early and senior academics at the forefront of their respective fields and chief industrial players.
NEXGENNA- NEXT GENERATION OF NA-ION BATTERIESINTRODUCTION- KEY AIMS AND IMPORTANCE
17
• Why Na-ion?•As application possibilities mushroom,
- Na ion can meet the new demand
- Low cost e.g. large scale storage
- home energy storage,
- 2/3 wheelers in Developing World

Carbon Dioxide electrolysis to syngas: enabling through electrochemical switching at nanoscale via oxide or protonic conduction to macroscale concept.
Solid State Electrochemistry GroupOur work ranges from basic solid state science through materials science to engineering.
We seek to translate new ideas to new technology, we need to do some engineering.
Around 50% of our students/PDRAS have engineering degrees
