Energy

A shining beacon in energy

The University of Liverpool has long-established, multidisciplinary research teams advancing knowledge and delivering applications in the energy research field.

Our expertise includes generation and delivery technologies, enhancing energy efficiency and reducing waste, and modelling how environmental changes induced by climate change impact on energy generation.

Our work is safeguarding health, contributing to economic growth, and securing the future availability of clean and affordable energy for populations locally, nationally and internationally.

Energy technologies evolve in a way that will influence how future society operates. Supported by the Stephenson Institute for Renewable Energy, N-STAR (Nuclear Science, Technology and Applied Research), and Sensor City we are developing new options for the generation, delivery and storage of energy.

Energy is both a technological and societal issue. In addition to addressing technological challenges, we also address the impacts, both environmental and societal, of future energy technologies with the National Oceanography Centre, the Risk Institute and the Heseltine Institute for Public Policy.
