The energy landscape is becoming increasingly complex, with many different solutions proposed to help us tackle climate change while providing a secure energy supply to a growing population.

It is particularly difficult for non-experts to make decisions about which solutions to support and fund, despite the fact that these decisions use public money and affect us all.

Pint of Science Oslo invited researchers in the field of sustainable energy, at the forefront of this rapidly evolving landscape, to present the science behind the technology in a way that is accessible to the general public.

Attendees will then have the opportunity to ask their own questions directly to the experts and discuss and debate these important issues in a friendly and informal setting.

The event is funded by Forskingrådet in the frame of Forskningsdagene 2023.

"Deep transformation needed. How climate policies require new approaches and understanding of justness in urban mobility"

Oslo’s climate policy is both ambitious and celebrated - both internally and within international policy networks on climate. At the same time, climate policies are disputed. When it comes to everyday mobilities about half the population is supportive, the other half is not. Better understanding of people’s mobility and the possibilities they have in terms of different kinds of resources is a key in this transformation.

"How can materials chemistry help developing better solutions for energy and environmental technologies?"

I will present and discuss challenges and opportunities that do exist with respect to new and improved materials that can accelerate better solutions for energy and environmental technologies - with less CO2 foot print - and also point out the urgent needs for candidates and research in order to have sufficiently rapid progress - in Norway and internationally
