UCD Energy Institute

Welcome to the UCD Energy Institute, located at University College Dublin's O'Brien Centre for Science in beautiful Belfield, Dublin, Ireland. Our institute is dedicated to advancing energy research and innovation, fostering collaborations across disciplines, and training the next generation of energy professionals.

At the UCD Energy Institute, we are committed to tackling the challenges of our changing energy landscape. With a focus on sustainability, we work to promote clean energy solutions and improve energy efficiency, while also exploring the social, economic, and policy dimensions of energy use.

Our research spans a wide range of topics, from renewable energy technologies like wind and solar power to the development of energy storage and conversion systems, as well as the exploration of new energy sources such as geothermal and biomass. We also investigate issues related to energy access and equity, energy markets and regulation, and the environmental impacts of energy use.

As part of our commitment to interdisciplinary research and collaboration, we work closely with faculty and researchers from across the University, as well as with industry partners and government agencies. Our institute hosts seminars, workshops, and conferences to facilitate knowledge exchange and networking, and we offer a variety of educational and training programs to support the professional development of our students and researchers.
