University of Canterbury’s Sustainable Energy Research Group (SERG) works across four key pillars of the global energy transition, with a strong focus on energy systems modelling, technology assessment, simulation, and optimisation.
Our research spans multi-sector energy transition pathways, urban and distributed energy systems, carbon-negative systems and Power-to-X technologies, and the resilience of energy systems under climate risk and uncertainty. Through this work, we contribute to the design of sustainable energy systems and evidence-based policy pathways involving renewable integration, future fuels, carbon capture and storage, demand flexibility, and resilient infrastructure planning.
We actively collaborate with international partners across academia, industry, and government, and welcome opportunities for Horizon Europe collaboration, research exchange and partnerships aligned with these research areas.
