Innovative energy projects

We conduct research and work with partners to bring research from the laboratory into the real world. 

Over 150 academics and researchers conduct multi-disciplinary research to contribute to an impressive portfolio worth over £60m, funded by government, industry and the European Union. Take a look at some of our recent projects.
