Carbon Crucible is bringing together bright thinkers from different academic disciplines to collaborate and find solutions to some of today’s complex energy challenges.
By combining their expertise, we hope to spark new and innovative solutions to tackle the big issues in energy research, such as demand reduction and environmental sustainability.
Of the 30 researchers who took part in the Carbon Crucible labs, 20 went on to collaborate on projects.
Carbon Crucible was launched in 2008 by UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC) and NESTA. The programme is a spin-off from NESTA's main Crucible programme.
