We continue to be told that wind and solar will be free, when the cost of electricity is already 30% higher than the wholesale price, and wind capacity factors have been reduced by almost 30% relative to those quoted in the original Net Zero case for their use. Also, the cost of back up capacity must be included when costing Renewables.
The Royal Society estimates that 100TWh of energy will be needed per annum for that. During his talk, Roger will address these and other challenges.

This workshop will explain how an engineer may use the experiential learning gained through technical work experience and articulate how they have achieved the AHEP 4 learning outcomes at Bachelors or Masters level.
It will be useful to attend if you have significant technical work experience which may be used instead of a formal academic qualification or, if you had planned to do Further Leaning after graduating, but never quite managed it.
