Electrification

The challenge

The project aims to bring together the expertise to find a solution for the complete decarbonisation of the economy through electrification. It also covers the system-level aspects of a fully decarbonised electric power system.

Why this research is valuable

Electrification is the core mechanism of a full decarbonisation of all most sectors:

• Residential and commercial (gas to electricity)
• Transportation (electric cars)

Research themes

Fossil fuel generation replaced by renewables and the uptake of distributed energy resources

• New grid structures
• Regulatory and market framework

New fuels: Hydrogen super power

Resource scarcity and recycling
