SUMMARY:Exploring the economic & societal impacts of the roll out of EVs in the UK  (by DecarboN8 Network)
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nDecarboN8 Future Transport Fuels Webinar Series\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nJoin us for the third of a series of webinars brought to you by DecarboN8’s Future Transport Fuels research theme. This free event is for academics\, students\, policymakers\, businesses\, civil society and anyone interested in the decarbonisation of transport in the UK. \nExploring the economic and societal impacts of the roll out of electric vehicles in the UK \nProfessor Karen Turner\, University of Strathclyde \nAbout the event: \nOver the last four years\, CEP has applied its economy-wide approach to analysing the likely wider economy impacts of enabling the roll-out of electric vehicles in the UK. This is seen as a key component of reducing emissions from private transport and facilitating the transition to net zero. In this webinar we will discuss our latest research that explores the macro economic and societal impacts of both investing to reinforce the electricity network and from shifting fueling from fossil fuels to electricity. We will also explore considerations for a ‘Just Transition’ and regulatory and policy implications. \nAbout the speaker: \nKaren is Director of the Centre for Energy Policy at the University of Strathclyde. She has previously held academic posts at in the Economics Departments at Heriot-Watt\, Stirling and Strathclyde Universities. Karen was one of six ESRC Climate Change Leadership Fellows and her main research interests lie in considering and modelling the economy-wide and macroeconomic impacts of energy policy and industry developments. The main focuses of her current work is considering the wider economic and societal value proposition for a range of low carbon energy solutions\, including energy efficiency\, electric vehicles\, industrial decarbonisation and CCUS\, through projects funded by UKRI and various government and industry bodies. Karen is currently a member of the Scottish Just Transition Commission\, was member of the committee delivering the Royal Society of Edinburgh’s inquiry on Scotland’s Energy Future and is leading a cross-cutting sub-group of a new Royal Society (London) study on the long term role of energy storage. \n\n\n\n\n
