West Midlands regional lecture: The challenges of net zero

In the five years since the UK formally committed to achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions, progress in reductions has been matched by continued debate about how to complete the journey.

What are the challenges we still need to address, which can be solved by engineering, and have we the means to deliver solutions?

Join Professor John Loughhead CB OBE FREng, Industrial Professor of Clean Energy, University of Birmingham, and former Chief Scientific Adviser (BEIS) for his unique insights into the challenges of net zero.
