An investment of \u00a353m in six research centres will drive forward change in the energy sector and help meet the UK\u2019s net zero by 2050 target.<\/p>\n
The energy research centres will reduce the demand for energy to achieve greener industrial and transport energy systems.<\/p>\n
The energy sector investment is set to create green technologies and boost knowledge.<\/p>\n
Professor Dame Ottoline Leyser, Chief Executive of UKRI, said: \u201cThe government has set a target of reaching net zero emissions by 2050, requiring rapid decarbonisation of our energy systems. UKRI is leveraging its ability to work across disciplines to support this ambition through a major portfolio of investments that will catalyse innovation and new green energy systems.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe funding announced today will support researchers and innovators to develop game-changing ideas to improve domestic, industrial, and transport energy systems.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
