The Centre for Advanced Sustainable Energy (CASE) is an industry-led sustainable energy research centre

Working across strategically important research themes in Northern Ireland such as Bio-Energy, Energy Systems, and Marine Renewable Energy.

Bringing together people from across the green economy, working on shared projects that tackle the region’s biggest environmental and economic challenges.

Driving decarbonisation

Government structures mean that different departments and agencies often work in isolation, missing out on opportunities to coordinate their efforts and work better together.

By creating a cross-cutting space where these organisations can collaborate on common challenges in a coordinated manner, CASE can assist with a systems approach to decarbonisation.

Delivering economic green energy and ensuring security of supply

CASE takes cutting-edge research and transforms it into practical policy recommendations, ensuring decisions are based on solid evidence while guiding researchers toward the questions that matter most for business growth.

By connecting government with businesses and universities and helping promising technologies find the expertise and funding needed to grow, CASE provides a single point of contact that coordinates innovation, stimulates engagement, and maximises impact.

Enabling industry to develop new products and services while improving competitiveness and productivity

Through ongoing collaboration and coordinated events, CASE keeps all stakeholders informed and engaged.

This approach transforms CASE from simply being a research organisation into Northern Ireland’s central coordinator for the transition to a zero-carbon economy.

CASE is a partnership between Queen’s University Belfast, University of Ulster and the Agri-Food and Biosciences Institute
