REFLECT: A REsponsible innovation Framework for assessing noveL spray tEChnology research To examine local albedo changes from marine brightening and its multi-scale impacts
Marine Cloud Brightening (MCB) and Marine Sky Brightening (MSB) are ideas for cooling the Earth by increasing the reflectivity of clouds using tiny droplets of seawater. REFLECT aims to responsibly test various methods of spraying seawater to explore if they could be viable. PPERC Affiliated Researchers: Rob Bellamy, Kate Sambrook
MAR-CO2: Measurement And Reporting for responsible marine CO2 removal
Measurement And Reporting for responsible marine CO2 removal (MAR-CO2) aims to develop fit-for-purpose monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) systems for marine carbon dioxide removal (CDR), enabling safe, verifiable, and sustainable climate mitigation. PPERC Affiliated researchers: Rob Bellamy
The GENERATE Project
The GENERATE project aims to offer original insights into the social, spatial, and political inequalities that drive energy-related injustices, and the struggles linked to the growth of new low-carbon energy production in disadvantaged regions and communities. Supported by UK Research and Innovation via the Horizon Europe guarantee scheme, GENERATE is a European Research Council Consolidator…
The Co-CREATE Project
The Co-CREATE project looks to develop and propose – jointly with stakeholders – conditions for, and elements of, a possible governance framework for Solar Radiation Modification (SRM) research including experiments in the European Research Area. Solar Radiation Modification (SRM) strategies aim to limit global warming by reducing the amount of solar radiation reaching the Earth’s…
The CO2RE Project
Funded through the UKRI SPF Greenhouse Gas Removal Demonstrators (GGR-D) Programme, the CO2RE Hub conducts cross-cutting research on the environmental, economic, social, cultural, ethical, legal and governance issues around GGR. The Hub coordinates across the national programme (linking to five Demonstrator projects), connects to other relevant programmes nationally and internationally, and commissions grants to fill research and innovation gaps through a Flexible Fund. The Research Centre…
Energy Demand Research Centre
The Energy Demand Research Centre (EDRC) addresses the unique opportunity to realise benefits from energy demand reductions in industry, businesses, transport and homes. They explore the delivery of integrated technological and social change to rapidly reduce emissions, secure prosperity, reduce inequality and improve quality of life. The Research Centre is sub-divided into the following themes: Place…
The JUST Centre
The JUST Centre is focused on the pursuit of sustainability transformations that are people-centred, joined-up and socially just. Across five regions in the North of England, and with national reach and significance, they are exploring existing initiatives adopted by communities, municipalities, and businesses to pursue low-carbon living. Their interdisciplinary team works with a wide range…
