Energy, resources and the environment

We carry out internationally-recognised research in the fields of energy and power networks and intelligent grid technologies towards the development of future electrical power grids.

We promote and support collaborative academic and industry-sponsored research in energy harvesting and energy efficiency, water quality and water resources management, wind engineering, and environmental modelling. 

Our researchers aim to create a cleaner future by producing cost-effective and sustainable chemical processes for a wide range of industries.

Our primary objective is to make a substantial impact on carbon emissions from the energy and chemical sectors.

To achieve this goal we are spearheading the development of transformative chemical engineering systems, processes, and pioneering materials. Through our innovative approach, we strive to contribute significantly to the realisation of net zero targets.

From effective water treatment to waste transformation, our researchers are developing innovative solutions to help us achieve a truly sustainable future. 

More waste is being produced than ever before. Through nationwide research and industry partnerships, we can transform this waste into reusable materials and move towards a circular economy.
