Introducing Oxford Open Energy and the energy quest

Abstract

Energy stands in the focal point of reducing the emissions. To reach the Paris Climate Agreement goals requiring carbon neutrality by the middle of this century, the emissions would need to be halved every ten years. The energy transition ahead thus encompasses a huge societal change, urging to view the change in a framework integrating technology, economics, policies and social aspects. Oxford Open Energy emerges from such a multi-dimensional and complex energy quest and from the demand to create a suitable platform to deal with the multi-disciplinary issues in energy, but with an innovative touch.
