Welcome to the Energy Materials Group

Energy issues touch on many divisions within the Institute and are central to the activities of some committees. However, the Energy Materials Group acts across the divisions, acting as a focus for energy sector materials activities over the whole materials life cycle. Membership of the group is drawn from all areas of energy technology and members are actively involved in the national debate through, for example, UKERC (UK Energy Research Centre), APGTF (Advanced Power Generation Task Force) and the Materials Innovation and Growth Teams. We welcome enquiries from anyone interested in the work of the group. Read our mission statement
