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

The impact on Marine Biology of Offshore Renewables
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.
