The Energy, Environment and Climate Action Division is for professional and student engineers with an interest in energy engineering, managing the environmental impact of economic activities and supporting ambitious climate action in the engineering community. A primary objective of the Division is to support the development and deployment of energy technologies and policies to enable a rapid transition to a fully decarbonised, environmentally sustainable, secure and cost-effective energy system in Ireland.
The inauguration of the world’s most powerful fusion machine brings the dream of clean, safe and abundant power closer.
The new approach 'nudges' existing climate simulations closer to future reality.
Amplified Industries helps oil field operators eliminate spills and stop methane leaks.
The team at Pyramp – a soon-to-be spun-out venture from TU Dublin – has developed a thermophotovoltaic (TPV) technology to generate electricity from industrial waste heat.
New materials and designs can make a leading source of renewable energy both greener and cheaper, writes Tom Cassauwers.
Imagine heating your home from the ceiling, not from underfloor heating or radiators. Once installed like wallpaper, high-tech infrared fabric emits heat in a similar way to the sun’s rays. This could be a logical way to add low-carbon heat into existing homes that need retrofitting to improve energy efficiency, writes Michael Siebert, Nottingham Trent University.
