Energy We are committed to training the next generation of engineers to achieve our mission of creating low/zero-carbon technologies and systems and to address the energy security, sustainability, and affordability challenges of the 21st century. You are here Home Engineering at Sheffield Research and Innovation Energy News and Case Studies Harnessing wind power with Siemens Gamesa Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy (SGRE) is the global leader in offshore wind power generation, with greater than 70% market share. It credits Sheffield as having had a significant impact on its strategy and innovation capacity. Creating more efficient sustainable energy Reconstructing a nuclear meltdown in Sheffield Dr Claire Corkhill and her team are attempting to recreate Chernobyl’s meltdown in Sheffield, in a bid to safely deactivate both power plants. Understanding meltdowns to prevent them Our research centres Translational Energy Research Centre (TERC) The Translational Energy Research Centre at the University of Sheffield is one of the largest research and development facilities in Europe for zero-carbon energy, hydrogen, bioenergy, and CCUS. Innovation for a greener future UK Carbon Capture and Storage Research Centre (UKCCSRC) The mission of the UKCCSRC is to ensure that carbon capture and storage (CCS) plays an effective role in helping the UK achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Net-zero for the UK Energy Institute Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time. As populations grow and energy demand increases, we need to find new ways to deliver clean economic growth. Energy research is at the heart of tackling this challenge and the Energy Institute at the University of Sheffield has a clear, bold and urgent vision. Low-carbon solutions for the world
