Cranfield's global profile in energy
Cranfield Energy has an annual income of £16.5m (12% of our annual turnover) and 160 academic and research staff engaged in research and teaching in energy and transport technologies. The activity supports approximately 150 research students and a similar number of taught students on energy-related courses. Our focus is on industrial scale research and pilot-scale demonstration programmes in which we are world class.
Close engagement with the energy and transport sectors over the last 20 years has produced long standing strategic partnerships with Airbus, Alstom Power, BAE Systems, Boeing, BP, Doosan Babcock, Ford, Rolls Royce, Shell and Siemens, among others.
Our institutional strength is in low carbon energy supply, power generation, advanced fossil fuel technologies and transport systems. Activity ranges from offshore renewables, the production and clean utilisation of fossil fuels, through micro-generation and the use of energy crops, to the design of lightweight vehicles, turbine technology and the utilisation of wastes as fuel.
Cranfield's commitment to energy teaching includes an energy club that represents our students interested in energy and sustainability. The Cranfield Energy Club focuses on encouraging ideas and discussions, co-ordinating efforts among students, researchers and intellectuals through conferences and seminars.
