Sustainable Energy Laboratory – Research Unit of the Cyprus University of Technology

About Us

Transforming Cyprus to a carbon neutral island

Energylab - your reliable research partner

The Sustainable Energy Laboratory is a multi-departmental research laboratory focusing on sustainable development, and more specifically on solar energy, energy efficiency and biomimicry. SEL personnel is currently participating in projects related to educational activities, such as the Journey of Climate-KIC, a pan European annual educational programme on climate innovation and SMecoMP, focusing on educating the workforce of green-SMEs in the Balkan Region.

Research expertise

Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve. Thoughts are things! And powerful things at that, when mixed with definiteness of purpose, and burning desire, can be translated into riches.

Circular Economy

The EIT Climate-KIC Hub has been active in the field of Circular Economy using Systems Thinking and participatory approaches to target the construction industry, one of the most polluting industries in Cyprus by volume of waste. We have successfully completed two EIT RIS Innovation projects in collaboration with the EIT Climate-KIC Hubs in Malta and Bulgaria. Furthermore two of our staff are founding members of the Circular Economy Network of Cyprus, serving in the Board of the network.

Maritime

Our laboratory works closely with the local maritime industry and other related bodies from across the Europe towards the adoption of an ambitious roadmap, which will contribute towards the strategy adopted by the International Maritime Organization, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50% (based on 2008 levels). The effort was funded by EIT Climate-KIC, the EU’s leading climate innovation initiative, through the Net-Zero Emissions Resilient Maritime Hubs project. We at Sustainable Laboratory focus in assisting the maritime sector to achieve net-Zero Emissions, become more resilient, competitive, and sustainable by highlighting opportunities for further development, while confronting numerous environmental challenges.

Climate Innovation and Entrepreneurship Education

With the ever-growing rate of climate change looming over us, we believe innovation is the key to confront these climate challenges and accelerate the transition into clean, green, and efficient energy usage. The programs “Young Innovators” and the “Journey” offer the chance to students (from primary school to postgraduate degrees) to pinpoint climate-related problems, think of innovative ideas to solve those problems and eventually bring those ideas to life through other acceleration programs (i.e. ClimateLaunchPad). The aim of these programs is to cultivate the sense of climate responsibility and innovative thinking through targeting young individuals.
