Project brief
In response to the global climate change challenge, the UK government has committed to achieve at least 80% reduction in Greenhouse Gas (GHGs) emissions by 2050 against the 1990 baseline. The recent Committee on Climate Change report advises the UK government must immediately set a legally binding target to cut GHGs to zero by 2050. The transport sector remains one of the major sources of CO2 emissions, and the energy consumption in transport creates a problem of energy dependency as it relies to a large extent on petroleum. Hence, a significant uptake on alternative energy (e.g., drop-in renewable fuels, hydrogen fuels, battery) is critical to decarbonize the transport sector.

This PhD project aims to identify the most effective strategies for achieving net-zero emissions to transition the UK to a low carbon economy. We are looking for a creative and highly motivated student to carry out the following tasks among others:

  • A comprehensive review of existing low carbon technologies (e.g., biofuels, renewable fuels of non-biological origin; hydrogen fuels; battery);
  • Conducting quantitative analyses such as industry analysis, stakeholder analysis, market analysis and productivity analysis;
  • Identifying and engaging with relevant stakeholders through different channels such as focus group discussions, questionnaires, and interviewing key stakeholder representatives;
  • Gathering general public’s views and opinions towards low carbon technologies;
  • Performing empirical analyses using appropriate methodologies such as a multi-stakeholder, multi-criteria decision-making analysis-based approach;
  • Providing useful insights on how transport policy can be shaped to stimulate development and investment in the UK.
