Interdisciplinary energy research teams & Research Centres for Environment-friendly Energy Research
One of NTNU Energy's central activities is to establish and support interdisciplinary research teams in the energy field that address energy related issues in society. NTNU Energy host eight such teams within the research fields of hydrogen, battery, on- and offshore wind power, CCUS (carbon capture, utilisation and storage), low- and middle-income countries, society, smartgrids and solar energy.
In addition, NTNU hosts three Research Centres for Environment-friendly Energy Research: Hydrocen on hydropower, NTRANS on the role of the energy system in the transition to a zero-emission society, and ZEN on zero emission neighbourhoods in smart cities.

Sustainability in NTNU's energy research
Renewable energies play a very important role in the UN sustainable development goals. But reducing CO2-emissions doesn’t always agree with nature. NTNU Energy's research teams work interdisciplinarily in order to tackle this and other issues.
NTNU Energy's interdisciplinary research teams cover whole value chains
Centres for Environment-friendly Energy Research
HydroCen Research Centre: hydropower in the future renewable energy system.
NTRANS Research Centre: the role of the energy system in the transition to a zero-emission society.
ZEN Research Centre: zero emission neighbourhoods in smart cities.
In addition to these three Centres where NTNU is the host, NTNU is a partner in the following Research Centres for Environment-friendly Energy: NCCS, CINELDI, HighEFF, Bio4Fuels, MoZEES and SUSOLTECH.
