The Centre for Energy Technology (CET) will promote and foster research that will result in cleaner energy generation, storage, distribution and utilisation of energy.

A strong team has been created from the four disciplines of Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Applied Mathematics. The Centre aims to support Australia’s transition from a high to low CO₂ emission society.

The CET’s most valuable asset is our experienced team of researchers and engineers who have been working with industry in developing new technologies and solutions. The completion of over 200 industrial projects in the past five years is the best demonstration of our extensive experience and expertise. The Centre is committed to working with industry, government and the community to help mitigate the effects of climate change through the reduction of CO₂ emissions. The Centre has a strong research capacity in, Fluid Mechanics, Combustion, Renewable Energy, Electrical Energy and Chemical Processing.
