Claverton energy group

This a group for professionals and experts interested, qualified or involved in all aspects of the energy situation: technology, resources, policy, modelling, geopolitics, economics, politics, conservation, renewables, transmission, power grids, construction rates.

Climate change and peak oil are taken as givens.

Its objectives are to produce a genuine network of interconnected experts (ie an interlock diagram not merely a list), covering all aspects of the energy problem who together can provide authoritative and coherent understanding and explanation of the way forward at a detailed and macro level, over a 50 year time frame and going from UK to Europe and World level.

This network is a resource providing anything form a one page briefing to a complete book; able to answer questions from journalists and policy makers.

Participants include 150 senior executives of large power station operators, energy utilities, UK and other National Grids, Civil Service, senior academics, engineers, managers, consultants, biologists, economists, policy analysts, architects, sociologists, agronomists, reflecting a wide range of expertise and knowledge.

A subset of members are producing the Claverton Energy Briefing Note - a coherent statement of the critical issues facing us and the appropriate well thought out responses. Whilst it is impossible to produce a total consensus, by means of intense online debates and several conferences a workable majority consensus can be produced. This will appear as a book in 2008.

The intention is to grow the network to have enough experts at the various nodes ( ie points in the interlock diagram containing real world subsystems - resource stocks, power generating systems, housing stocks, etc) to be able to map and model the real world interactions between various components of real world energy systems.

This then makes it easier for detailed computer modellers to take rough cuts and to do detailed analysis. this is along the lines of Interlock research and the Claverton Energy Group is and Information Routing Group.
