At Loughborough University, we're using our expertise in climate change and Net Zero to build sustainability into every aspect of modern life.
Digitalisation, clean energy and recycling will only help us save the planet if we make their underlying technologies sustainable, scalable and profitable.
Here's what we're doing.
Decarbonisation for healthier communities
Millions lack access to electricity. Millions more use solid fuels for cooking and heating. And billions are dependent on energy-intensive data centres for their digital lifestyles. We can’t go on like this.
Leveraging our expertise in addressing climate change and meeting Net Zero goals through research and innovation, we've developed global partnerships that scale down green energy tech to make it accessible and affordable for the world.
Innovations – like solar tractor arrays for off-grid farming and cooking with green hydrogen – can boost prosperity and growth while reducing carbon emissions, improving air quality and broadening opportunities for marginalised communities.
It’s necessary. And right.
Utilising hydrogen power for a better world
Modern humans need to drive and fly. We need to make these essential modes of transportation sustainable. So, we are.
We’re transforming energy use in aviation, farming and construction through partnerships with leaders like Rolls-Royce and Caterpillar. We’re scaling up hydrogen energy production in the Midlands through groundbreaking initiatives like Hydrogen Works.
Meanwhile, our spin-out company, R3VTech, is scaling technology that will empower biodiesel producers to turn waste into a planet-friendly bio-derived chemical with many industrial applications – a contributing to a circular, low-carbon economy. We’re not stopping there.
We’re not stopping there.
