Birmingham Centre for Environmental and Energy Economics and Management (BCEEEM)
Description
Building upon the School’s established expertise in the field of environmental economics, the Birmingham Centre for Environmental and Energy Economics and Management (BCEEEM) brings together individuals from a variety of disciplines to examine the complex relationship between economic activity and the environment. The geographic scope of the Centre's interests and activities are as global as the environmental issues themselves.
Aside from its focus on firm behaviour, BCEEEM also examines a range of subjects addressing the links between social and economic behaviour and the environment. These subjects are examined at multiple levels of analysis, incorporating individuals, firms, industries and nations.
The world is faced with many challenging questions to answer about future energy supplies. Where will energy come from? What energy vectors will be used to store and transport energy? How will energy be used and consumed in the future?
In answering these questions, due consideration must be givento global competition for scarce resources. Furthermore the need to live within environmental constraints needs to be considered. The latest global goals for decarbonisation coming from COP21 will surely influence the future energy mix. Closer to home attention is drawn to local environmental issues such as air quality and the impact of waste.
The solutions to energy challenges are not only technical, but also informed by business, economics, law and policy. The Birmingham Centre for Environmental and Energy Economics and Management complements the University of Birmingham’s expertise in energy technologies by providing a complementary economic, business and social-science perspective on global energy challenges.
