About

Dr Christian Brand is an interdisciplinary environmental scientist, physicist and geographer with over 25 years research experience in academic and consultancy environments. He is Associate Professor in Transport, Energy and Environment at the University of Oxford's Transport Studies Unit and Environmental Change Institute. He received his DPhil in Geography and the Environment from the University of Oxford in 2006.

Areas of research and teaching:

• Transport and energy - impacts on climate change, local air pollution and public health
• 'Active travel': walking, cycling, wheeling, micromobility
• Transport-energy systems modelling to inform net zero carbon emissions pathways and policies
• The unequal distribution of greenhouse gas emissions from personal transport
• Evaluation of transport and energy interventions and policies

Current Research

Over the past 20 years Christian has been principal or co-investigator on research projects worth over £20 million.

1. He is Co-Director of the UK Energy Research Centre, where he is leading projects on energy-transport systemic change and deep decarbonisation pathways for transport.
2. He is Co-Investigator of ELEVATE, a major new research project exploring the role that electrically assisted modes of transport including e-bikes, e-cargo bikes, e-scooters and e-trikes might have in reducing mobility-related energy demand and carbon emissions.
3. Christian also leads a major project in the Centre for Research on Energy Demand Solutions on the impacts of lifestyle and social change on mobility-related energy demand.
4. He is Co-investigator on the FCDO's Climate Compatible Growth programme working with local partners in low and middle income countries on transport decarbonisation.
5. He has led ground-breaking research on evaluating the health, carbon and mobility impacts of active travel interventions, working with British, European and global partners such as the WHO.

Longer summary: The project looked at the distribution of carbon emissions and abatement opportunities of households in England, and the implications for energy and climate change policy impacts. The UK government has a target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 80% on 1990 levels by 2050. In addition there are statutory targets to ensure that no household is in fuel poverty by 2016. An understanding of how current and proposed policy approaches to meeting these targets are likely to impact differentially on domestic energy consumers is fundamental to ensuring policies are both fair and effective. This research project used advanced modelling techniques to develop and analyse the datasets needed to support and further understanding of:

• the distribution of carbon emissions - from energy consumed in the home and through personal travel by car, public transport and aviation - across households in Great Britain;
• the impact of existing government energy and climate policies on consumer energy bills and household emissions in England;
• the potential for an alternative approach to reducing emissions in the domestic sector through a wide-scale retrofit of the housing stock.
