Researchers contribute to technically-sound policies related to fossil and renewable energy. CAER is one of UK's multidisciplinary research centers. Research efforts are directed to:
coal beneficiation, utilization, and conversion process technologies
fuel use
coal combustion by-products
engineered fuels
derivation of high added-value materials and chemicals
renewable energy such as biofuels and bioenergy, electrochemistry, solar energy and environmental remediation.
The CAER is a UK unit that is staffed by professional scientists and engineers, has extensive interactions with faculty members and students, and provides analytical services for outside organizations.
