A world-leading centre in science and technology research for decarbonising our economy and society, and addressing key environmental issues.
Based in the Faculty of Natural, Mathematical and Engineering Sciences (NMES), the Centre serves to nurture and facilitate discovery, applied research, and innovation to address the challenges for decarbonising our society and reducing the environmental impact of the products, processes, and systems that support our industry, economy, and everyday living.
We act as a convening point for partnerships across academia, industry, finance, government, and non-governmental organisations.
Our research focuses on
Sustainable manufacturing
Data & visualisation for sustainable solutions
Optimisation, Simulation, and Modelling
Our research priorities
Decarbonisation for industry, business, and society
Supporting net zero transition in manufacturing, transport, and energy through developing new materials and technologies for energy generation and storage, and optimisin energy pricing and carbon tax rates for in finance markets.
Sustainable, low carbon green manufacturing
Reducing emissions, waste stream management, minimising environmental impact from research through energy efficient computing, adding value to waste streams, and mitigating the environmental impact of products, processes, and systems.
Resource allocation for equity and sustainability
Supporting a just transition to net zero through equitable approaches to reducing resources and energy consumption, to developing batteries from materials with sustainable low impact supply chains.
Resilient urban infrastructures and environments
Making cities adaptable and liveable with low carbon, environmentally sustainable technologies, including through greener transport systems, tackling wildfires, and improving the built environment and its impact on human and natural environments.
