Energy and Sustainability (WIT Conference Series – next edition TBA)

The Wessex Institute of Technology's Energy and Sustainability conference series convenes academic researchers, industry practitioners, government officials, and policymakers examining sustainable energy systems, low-carbon technology development, and integration of renewable resources into regional and national energy infrastructure. Past editions featured keynotes on agrivoltaics for regional energy transition, anaerobic digestion for biomass and waste utilization, combined heating/cooling/power systems driven by renewable thermal energy, advanced energy storage and grid integration, smart grid and demand response technologies, and waste-to-energy conversion pathways. The series attracts energy engineers, environmental scientists, policy analysts, and industry innovators focused on accelerating the global transition toward net-zero energy systems. The Wessex Institute has not announced a specific 2026 edition, but the conference series continues as a peer-reviewed venue for research and knowledge exchange on sustainable energy topics.
