UK Energy Bit of History

Current Trends A Few Numbers
Global demand for energy has risen inexorably in
the last 150 years in step with industrial
development and population growth. Hunger for
energy is predicted to continue to rise, by at
least 50 by 2030, as developing countries like
China and India seek to fuel their rapid economic
growth.

The Energy White Paper
Published in May 2007 states that the UK faces
two long term challenges
  • Tackling climate change by reducing carbon
    dioxide emissions both within the UK and abroad
  • Ensuring secure, clean and affordable energy as
    the UK becomes increasingly dependent on imported
    fuel

Ubiquitous Technologies, Austin the University
of Hull
  • CASE STUDY
  • The University of Hull is renowned for its work
    on liquid crystals materials, following its
    invention of the first commercial liquid crystal
    which heralded the advent of the multi-million
    dollar liquid crystal display technology. The
    University was awarded The Queens Award for
    Technological Achievement in 1979 and a Royal
    Society of Chemistry Chemical Landmark award in
    2006 for achievements in this field.

Brinker Technology Aberdeen University
  • CASE STUDY
  • Brinker Technology spun out from the University
    of Aberdeen in 2003. Its work embodies the
    perfect example of successful research
    collaboration between industry and UK
    universities. In November 2007, Brinker
    Technology completed a 3 million deal with
    Epi-V, a new specialist oil and gas private
    equity fund and thus has the working capital to
    undertake more projects and additional research.

11
The Single EU Market
  • The Single Market principle of mutual recognition
    of standards means that British manufacturers can
    sell their products all over the EU without
    expensive re-testing in every country.
  • The Single Market has led to the scrapping of
    some 10 million customs forms for UK firms alone,
    saving UK business an estimated 135 million per
    year.
  • Membership of the EU has made Britain a magnet
    for inward investment the UK attracts 40 of the
    EU's inward investment from the USA and Asia,
    which are using the UK as a gateway to the Single
    Market.
