CLEAN ENERGIES

Two of the biggest challenges of our generation are: finding sustainable sources of clean energy and managing the environmental legacy of industrial activity. The Verschuren Centre clean energy team investigates commercial possibilities for innovative and sustainable energy and environmental solutions, while educating the next generation of leaders in sustainability issues related to energy and the environment. Through research, innovation and partnerships, the team identifies opportunities, acts as a catalyst in their development, provides R&D support and ensures the community benefits.
