Accelerating energy transitions through research, teaching, and action
Carleton Sustainable Energy Research Centre

About
Established in 2009, the Carleton Sustainable Energy Research Centre (CSERC) brings together interdisciplinary research, teaching, and action to advance sustainable energy transitions in Canada and internationally. Drawing on expertise from the Faculty of Engineering and Design (FED) and the Faculty of Public and Global Affairs (FPGA), CSERC connects and amplifies Carleton’s strengths in energy modelling, socio-technical transitions, environmental policy and economics, and related fields. Through this bridging of perspectives, the Centre contributes to addressing today’s most pressing energy challenges, from climate change to sustainable industrial development.
