The goal of the proposed EngD Centre is to produce research leaders to tackle the major national and international challenges over the next 15 years in implementing new power plant to generate electricity more efficiently using fossil energy with near zero emissions, involving the successful demonstration of CO2 capture, and also in reducing CO2 emissions generally from coal utilisation, including iron making. These leaders will be part of the new breed of engineers that will be thoroughly versed in cutting edge energy research and capable of operating in multi-disciplinary teams, covering a range of knowledge transfer, deployment and policy roles and with the skills to analyse the overall economic context of their projects and to be aware of the social and ethical implications. This proposal has involved wide consultation with the power generation sector which has indicated that the number of doctoral researchers required in the UK for the major developments in large-scale fossil energy power generation involving efficiency improvements and CO2 capture can be estimated conservatively as 150-200 over the next ten years. The Centre will play a vital role in meeting this demand by providing training in highly relevant technological areas to the companies concerned, as well as the broader portfolio of skills required for future research leaders. Further, Doosan Babcock, Alstom, E.ON, Rolls Royce, EDF, RWE, Scottish and Southern Energy (SSE), Welsh Power and Drax Power all support this bid and are willing to participate in the proposed Centre from 2009 onwards. Further, in terms of reducing CO2 emissions generally from coal utilisation, including iron making and smokeless fuel, this has drawn in other industrial partners, Corus and CPL. The innovative training programme involves a number of unique elements based around the social sciences and activities with China and is designed to ensure that the research engineers are not only thoroughly versed in cutting edge energy research but capable of operating in multi-disciplinary teams covering a range of knowledge transfer, deployment and policy roles and the ability to analyse the overall economic context of projects and to be aware of the social and ethical implications. The academic team draws upon the internationally leading fossil energy programme at Nottingham but also on colleagues at Birmingham and Loughborough for their complementary research in high temperature materials, plant life monitoring and energy economics. Given that virtually all of the research projects will benefit from using pilot-scale equipment in industry linked to the advanced analytical capabilities in the MEC and our overseas partners, together with the Group activities undertaken by the yearly cohorts, the training programme is considered to offer considerable added value over DTA project and CASE awards, as testified by the extremely high level of industrial interest in the proposed Centre across the power generation section, together with other industries involved in reducing CO2 emissions from coal utilisation.

拟议的工程中心的目标是培养研究领导者，以应对未来 15 年在实施新发电厂以接近零排放的情况下更有效地利用化石能源发电方面面临的重大国家和国际挑战，其中包括成功示范二氧化碳捕获以及减少煤炭利用（包括炼铁）产生的二氧化碳排放。这些领导者将成为新一代工程师的一部分，他们将精通尖端能源研究，能够在多学科团队中运作，涵盖一系列知识转移、部署和政策角色，并具备分析整体能源的技能。其项目的经济背景，并了解其社会和道德影响。该提案与发电部门进行了广泛协商，结果表明，英国在涉及效率提高和二氧化碳捕集的大规模化石能源发电重大发展方面所需的博士研究人员数量保守估计为 150-200 名。未来十年。该中心将通过向相关公司提供高度相关的技术领域的培训以及未来研究领导者所需的更广泛的技能组合，在满足这一需求方面发挥至关重要的作用。此外，斗山巴布科克、阿尔斯通、E.ON、劳斯莱斯、EDF、RWE、苏格兰和南方能源 (SSE)、威尔士电力和 Drax Power 均支持本次投标，并愿意从 2009 年起参与拟议的中心。此外，在减少煤炭利用（包括炼铁和无烟燃料）的二氧化碳排放方面，这吸引了其他工业合作伙伴，Corus 和 CPL。这一创新培训计划涉及许多基于社会科学和与中国开展的活动的独特元素，旨在确保研究工程师不仅精通尖端能源研究，而且能够在涵盖一系列领域的多学科团队中开展工作。知识转移、部署和政策作用的能力，以及分析项目整体经济背景并了解社会和道德影响的能力。该学术团队借鉴了诺丁汉国际领先的化石能源项目，同时也借鉴了伯明翰和拉夫堡的同事在高温材料、植物生命监测和能源经济学方面的补充研究。鉴于几乎所有研究项目都将受益于使用与 MEC 和我们的海外合作伙伴的先进分析能力相关的工业中试规模设备，以及年度队列开展的集团活动，该培训计划被认为提供与 DTA 项目和 CASE 奖项相比，该项目具有可观的附加值，这一点可以从整个发电部门以及涉及减少煤炭利用二氧化碳排放的其他行业对拟议中心的极高兴趣所证明。
