Energy transition network
Researchers from across UQ’s faculties and institutes are coming together to explore the energy challenges facing today’s world.
Our capabilities and impact
UQ researchers are investigating the technical dynamics of changing energy systems and the human-centred dimensions of people, communities and economies to address the enormous challenge of supplying our future energy needs. Our research explores dimensions of the energy transition and associated challenges.
Transition pathways
Understanding scale and complexity, investment and sectoral coupling, and planning and development across regions.
People and communities
This research area includes promoting communication, engagement and participation as well as skills, training and employment.
Policy and markets
Developing policy and regulations, market governance arrangements, business models and value chains, and managing environmental impacts.
Resources
Understanding production and use of critical minerals and materials underpinning new energy technologies.
Technologies
We're working on energy sources and technologies for generation and storage, including renewables, hydrogen, bio and waste energy, natural gas, CCUS and clean fuels.
Systems and supply
Optimising electrification and integration of renewables, microgrid and energy storage systems, transport, mobility and digitalisation.
