Leeds-China Collaboration to Tackle Energy Issues

摘要

The University of Leeds has announced a strategic research alliance with one of China's leading universities, Zhejiang University, to focus on some of today's key energy challenges. This brings together two of the world-leading groups on clean energy technologies. The alliance will operate under the name UoL-ZJU International Centre for Sustainable Energy Sciences and Technologies, addressing issues such as clean coal utilisation, pollution control, carbon capture and sequestration, alternative fuels and the development of new energy-related technologies in fuel and solar cells. The Centre will also encompass associated research areas, in particle, environment and chemical engineering, drawing on the combined strengths of the two universities. Professor Mohammed Pourkashanian, of the University of Leeds' Faculty of Engineering, said: "By coupling innovative engineering researchers with unparalleled research facilities, we are equipped to address engineering solutions to key global energy issues more quickly and effectively."
