The School of Energy and Environment performs cutting-edge research and provides professional education on globally hot issues related to energy and the environment. The development of technologies that can generate clean and sustainable energy and programs for studying the impact of energy use and production on global climate change must therefore be at the forefront of energy and environmental research going forward.

To mitigate the climate changes that result from the overuse of fossil fuels, governmental, industry and business sectors have been gearing up to use technologies focused on energy efficiency and conservation. This is where the School of Energy and Environment, as an educator, steps in to provide the required training.
