The University of Nottingham Energy Institute unites energy research across a range of disciplines, drawing on multidisciplinary expertise across our Faculties of Engineering, Science and Social Science.

An impressive portfolio of research, development and demonstration has been built up over 25 years, attracting significant funding from government and industry to deliver high profile impact. Energy activities are focused on the key societal challenges of 'Transport and Mobility', 'Energy Generation and Management' and 'Communities and the Built Environment'. 

We are proud to be part of the  Energy Research Accelerator (ERA), a cross-disciplinary and multi-partner energy research hub in the Midlands. We work alongside Aston University, the University of Birmingham, the British Geological Survey, Leicester University, Loughborough University and the University of Warwick.
