What might energy systems look like in a net zero world?

Join the Supergen Bioenergy Hub for a public fishbowl debate at the Ramshorn Theatre on 4 November.

Apply to be part of a live event in Glasgow at COP26!

In the afternoon of the 4th of November (Energy Day) during COP26, the UK Research and Innovation Supergen programme will be holding a public engagement event at the Ramshorn Theatre, central Glasgow.

The ‘fishbowl’ conversation will see members of the public from different backgrounds discuss and debate their visions for a net zero energy future, with academic support from Supergen researchers, and the event will be live-streamed to those who cannot make it in-person (tickets available here: https://bit.ly/3a4AwMj).

We are seeking participants who will be in Glasgow during the 4th of November and are interested in taking part in the discussion at the Ramshorn Theatre, between 13:00-14:30 GMT. In order to ensure we obtain a diverse selection of the public for debate, we will be reviewing and selecting from those who register an interest via this form: https://forms.gle/hXTDQYa2dYuAeFfL7

The debate will be structured around four chapters:

  • Chapter 1: How do we generate our energy in a net zero world?

  • Chapter 2: How do we deliver that net zero energy to the public?

  • Chapter 3: How do we utilise that net zero energy?

  • Chapter 4: What steps should the UK be taking to make our energy system net zero by 2050?

Prior to the debate, participants will receive a briefing with related information on energy systems from Supergen.
