Lunch Hour Lecture: How UCL is at the Vanguard of the Green Industrial Revolution

UCL Minds

It is undeniable that anthropogenic climate change is a significant and time-sensitive global concern. We have built our transport sector on the back of fossil fuel powered internal combustion engines, emitting harmful pollutants during use. With the biosphere struggling to cope, and local air pollution shortening lives, we must make a change to the technologies used for mobility. This is what UCL’s Advanced Propulsion Lab has set out to do as it tackles the grand challenge of zero-emission transport head-on, and is developing key technologies to clean our air and to mitigate negative impacts on the environment. From hydrogen fuel cells, to lithium batteries, the APL is developing the technologies of the future of transport.
