The UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC) is the focal point for UK research on sustainable energy, and is central to the Research Councils' Energy Programme.〔(UK Energy Research Centre )〕 The centre has its headquarters at the campus of Imperial College, London, providing support to 70 researchers based in 11 universities and research institutions across the UK: UCL; Strathclyde; Leeds; Imperial College London; Exeter; Sussex; the University of East Anglia; the Plymouth Marine Laboratory; Cardiff; Oxford; Aberdeen. The organisation takes an independent, whole-systems approach, drawing on technical and non-technical disciplines including engineering, economics and the physical, environmental and social sciences. The Centre helps to co-ordinate the overall UK energy research effort and acts as a bridge between the UK energy research community, the international research community, business and policymakers.〔 ==History== UKERC was established in April 2004, following a recommendation from the 2002 Energy Review initiated by Sir David King, the UK Government's Chief Scientific Advisor.〔(UKERC History )〕 The Centre was set up to address key controversies in the energy field through comprehensive assessments of the current state of knowledge.〔(Global Oil Depletion: An assessment of the evidence for a near-term peak in global oil production ), page i, August 2009, published October 08, 2009, UK Energy Research Centre, ISBN 1-903144-03-5〕 The first phase of the Centre ran from 2004 - 2009. In March 2009, £18.5 million was allocated to support the second phase of work at the UK Energy Research Centre for 2009 – 2014.〔(£18 million to secure the future of UK energy research ), July 2009, NERC〕 Under the second phase of funding, UKERC focused on five themes: Energy Demand, Energy Supply, Energy Systems, Energy and Environment, and Technology and Policy Assessment.〔(UKERC Research )〕 In May 2014, the UK Energy Research Centre was awarded funding for a third phase of work, which would run from 2014 to 2019.〔()〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「UK Energy Research Centre」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
