Founded in 1998 by Prof. Dennis Anderson and Prof. Peter Pearson, the Imperial College Centre for Energy Policy and Technology (ICEPT), is a world class centre for research and policy advice at the interface between energy policy and technology. Key policy challenges we tackle within the centre include: energy security and affordability, energy market reform, energy for development and climate.
The Director of ICEPT is Professor Robert Gross. The two co-directors are Dr Raphael Slade and Dr Iain Staffell. ICEPT is also guided by an advisory committee. ICEPT's expertise spans engineering, economics, law and the bio-sciences. ICEPT works across five principal research areas:
- Biomass & Bioenergy
- Renewable Energy & Low Carbon Generation
- Energy in Developing Countries
- Markets, Policy & Systems Transitions
- Fossil fuels and resources for energy systems
ICEPT collaborates with the UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC) aslo led by Professor Rob Gross.
