UKERC’s Phase 4 programme includes a £3 million Flexible Research Fund that will be allocated via a series of three open calls, anticipated to take place in 2020 and 2021. The Fund is overseen by an independent Research Committee.
Four projects were awarded in January 2021 in response to our first call which focused on the areas of governance, cooling and finance.
The second round of funding closed in June 2021, and focused on projects that explore the effectiveness and impact of policies that form part of the ‘green industrial revolution’ envisaged by the UK Government as part of its response to Covid-19. Projects will be announced in due course.
An online consultation to help inform and gather topics for our third and final round of funding closed in June and it is anticipated that this final call will open later this year.

This working paper explores how socioeconomic inequality impacts the uptake of low carbon technologies. Using longitudinal UK household data to interrogate the adoption of solar panels for electricity, solar heating technology and electric/hybrid-electric vehicle ownership, it finds inequalities in uptake with parental occupation and education, and education levels exerting the biggest influence.
The aim of this work was to benchmark the existing UK cold chain and provide robust evidence-based data on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in 2019.
