Dr Matt Keith, Assistant Professor, School of Chemical Engineering:
There is a growing need to decarbonize and achieve Net Zero by 2050. Our Global Energy Technologies and Systems Masters course will enable you to do this. Learn about modern energy generation, renewable energy technologies and efficient energy storage systems.

Dr Xinfang Wang, Assistant Professor, Sustainable Cooling and Cold Chain:
Cooling plays a big role in terms of the emissions that's generated from the, for example, the energy used for cooling. Sustainable cooling could come from the maximized use of passive cooling, reducing the energy required but also to use the renewable source, for example solar energy.

Dr Grant Wilson, Associate Professor, Energy Systems and Data:
I teach on a couple of modules; one is Energy Systems and Policy. I also teach Renewable Energy Systems which looks at more integration of greater and greater amounts of renewable energy into general renewable energy generation into electrical systems. The third module is Energy Data and Digitalization.

Professor Robert Steinberger-Wilckens, Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Research:
Fuel cell technology and the hydrogen-based fuels modules give you a good introduction into the whole technology.

Clips of the fuel cell labs at the University of Birmingham.

So, both of hydrogen how it's produced, where it's used, and how it is then used in fuel cells. And all the applications of fuel cells including market development and outlooks.

Dr Jonathan Radcliffe, MSc Programme Director.
Although technologies are going to be critical to meeting our Net Zero targets, an even more important aspect is going to be the sorts of policies and regulation that is required. I teach on a few modules throughout the programme, including one specifically on Energy Systems and Policy. It's that aspect of getting the policies right that is really driving through the impact those technologies will have.
