Renewables ExeterUni
@Renewables_UoE
Creating the next generation of renewable energy engineers and technologies through high quality teaching and research.
Delighted to report that we have broken into the Top 5 Electrical & Electronic Engineering subject league tables in the Complete University Guide. Joint first for graduate outcomes, and best student satisfaction in the Russell Group!
NEW – Factcheck: Why expensive gas – not net-zero – is keeping UK electricity prices so high | @DrSimEvans @MollyLempriere w/ comment from @Dhara__Vyas @DrRobertGross @PDrummy @FrankAaskov Read here: buff.ly/DWsC3sZ
Policy@Exeter put together a case study of the work we did on the @ShifftP to apply a co-creation methodology to developing city low carbon heating strategies. You can read it at tinyurl.com/y7brfjmp
Apropos of nothing in particular, just resharing this chart showing why North Sea gas is drying up (we burned it all already)
Free and in Falmouth on Sat June 21st? Maybe join this bike ride!
On 22 May, 10-4, @Sustrans will be on Penryn Campus in the Stannary Courtyard, providing free bike safety checks, tune-ups and bicycle security marking for students and staff. Bring your bike or come and find out about local cycling, walking and public transport opportunities.
Great news! @UniofExeter awarded £8.6 million for new low carbon heating systems to reduce its fossil fuel use. The @energygovuk funding, from the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme, will replace 29 gas boilers across 8 buildings at Exeter’s Streatham and St Luke’s campuses.

Last Friday we had a wonderful visit from Dr Iain Soutar and students from the @uniexecornwall. We had wonderful discussions on power production, community and the future of electricity in the UK. #lovecornwall #cornwall #geothermal #education #geology
NEW: Govt data CONFIRMS our estimate that UK greenhouse gas emissions fell by 4% to 371MtCO2e in 2024 As we said earlier this month, this took UK emissions to lowest level since 1872 – with coal use at its lowest since 1666 (!) Our analysis: carbonbrief.org/analysis-uk-em…
#SolarFarms could meet UK electricity needs without losing farmland, says @sheffielduni study eibi.co.uk/news/solar-far… #Agrivoltaics
Solar is quickly becoming the cheapest source of electricity & will fundamentally change the energy system. This paper argues that solar will be cheapest source of electricity around world. Surprisingly this is INCL short- & long-term storage costs. nature.com/articles/s4146…

In 2004, it took the world a year to add one gigawatt of solar power — now it takes a day.
Did you know that the countries with the most heat pumps installed are also in some of the coldest climates? Find out more in our article in Nature Energy 👇 nature.com/articles/s4156…
Solex is the University of Exeter's Solar Boat team. Meet some of the students completely refitting it from generation to power systems to steering in a new video: tinyurl.com/26uxh8zk. Their goal is to compete in the Netherlands this summer. @DiscoverUniExe @UniofExeterNews
