SUMMARY:Bigger Picture Talks with Professor Andy Woods: On decarbonising h
 eating systems - Professor Andy Woods (BP Institute\, Department of Earth 
 Sciences)

DESCRIPTION:Our departmental seminar series\, Bigger Picture Talks\, runs 
 throughout the academic year\, inviting thought-leaders from across the wo
 rld driving significant advances in our impact areas of energy\, health an
 d sustainability to share and discuss their work with us.\n\nIn this talk\
 , Professor Woods will outline some of the challenges associated with deca
 rbonisation of the energy system\, exploring both supply and demand\, incl
 uding the intermittency of renewable supply\, the fluctuations in both dai
 ly and seasonal energy demand\, and the possible role of geological hydrog
 en and carbon storage. He will then focus on the decarbonisation of heatin
 g systems\, with a case study of St Johns College\, including opportunitie
 s for energy efficiency\, the design of air\, ground and river heat pump s
 ystems\, and upgrading building fabric. He will consider the implications 
 of scaling up such approaches\, for example across the UK\, and their impa
 ct on net zero.\n\n*Speaker bio*\n\nProfessor Andy Woods works in fluid me
 chanics of energy and the environment\, with expertise in multiphase flow 
 including : volcanic eruption dyamics\, geological carbon storage\, geothe
 rmal power generation\; building energy and ventilation\, and geophysical 
 fluid dynamics\, including flow in porous media. He heads up the BP Instit
 ute in University of Cambridge\, where he has worked since 2000. He has pu
 blished over 200 papers on the above topics.\n\n"Please register to attend
