Driving innovation in the energy sector to help society reach Net Zero. Working with industry partners we can develop innovative projects to mitigate the effects of climate change.
In order to meet the social and technical challenges, we collaborate closely across a number of highly connected research themes, which also involve working closing with external partners from industry, local and national government, communities, regulatory and trade bodies, as well as other university partners, all at a national and international level.
- Offshore and Onshore Wind
- Wave and Tidal Energy
- Hydrogen
- CCUS
- Energy systems and transmission
- Energy policy and governance
- Net Zero buildings
- Energy Materials
- Life Cycle Analysis and Carbon Emissions

Our teams work closely with Industry to meet our Net Zero targets. Energy@Edinburgh is an interconnected community of 200 researchers across different Schools in the University, aligned with Industry in recognising that “energy systems and technologies are social as well as technical”. Our research aligns with the Energy Trilemma and feeds into the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
