Dr Anne Owen is a University Academic Fellow in End Use Energy Demand. Anne’s research includes calculation of the UK’s Greenhouse Gas Consumption-based account – an Official Statistic reported by Defra. Previously, Anne held an EPSRC Fellowship award on Energy Demographics, where she looked at the role of UK households in the UK’s changing energy demand, considering which types of households in which parts of the country were contributing to reducing energy demand and GHG emissions and which households contributed to increases from 1990-2018.
Anne’s current projects build on the idea of the household and its relationship with climate policy. She has worked with the National Infrastructure Commission to consider the distributional impacts to UK households when funding Greenhouse Gas Removal technologies. As part of the UKERC funded ‘Whole Person, Whole Place’ project she investigated the type of households which apply for Domestic Energy Incentive grants and where in the country they tended to be found.
