Centre for Energy Studies
Welcome to the Centre for Energy Studies!
Established in June 2009, as the Centre for Energy & Environment, at the esteemed National Institute of Technology, Hamirpur. Our mission is to address critical energy and environmental issues. We are dedicated to advancing knowledge and expertise in the field of energy and environment and sustainability through our comprehensive postgraduate programs in M. Tech. (Energy Technology) and Ph.D. in Energy & Environment since July 2010.
At the Centre, we not only focus on imparting quality education but also actively engage in cutting-edge research and development activities. Our dedicated team of researchers and experts collaboratively work towards finding innovative solutions to energy-related challenges and their impact on the environment. By promoting energy efficiency and advocating for the adoption of alternate and renewable energy sources like solar, wind, hydro, biofuels, bioenergy, fuel cells, hydrogen energy, and more, we strive to find the sustainable solutions for overgrowing environment and energy problems with minimizing our ecological footprint.
In addition to our academic programs, we also conduct specialized training sessions and workshops in priority areas of energy and its nexus with the environment. Our aim is to enhance knowledge dissemination, foster industry-academia collaboration, and equip professionals with the necessary skills to tackle the current demand in the field of energy and environment.
As a leading center of excellence in energy studies, we are committed to making a meaningful impact by addressing the energy challenges of today and shaping a sustainable future. Join us on this exciting journey as we explore, innovate, and contribute towards a greener and more sustainable world.
