Conference brought together researchers and industry to seek low carbon future.

Prof Phil Jones, co-Director of Cardiff University's Energy Systems Research Institute, gave a paper at a major international conference recently that outlined the way in which the built environment could achieve zero carbon performance through a combination of renewable energy generation at building and community scale.

The 12th ECCRIA (European Conference on Fuel and Energy Research and its Applications) conference took place in Cardiff and brought together researchers from universities across Europe and major industry participants with a common aim of seeking low carbon solutions for our global future.
