Research in Energy Technology makes use of approaches for energy systems, where material and energy flows are integrated with state-of-the-art technological solutions, the economy and legislation serve as the basis for improved energy and material efficiency as well as for reducing environmental impacts. Some current areas for research co-operation in the Vaasa region include the gas economy (particularly LNG), engine technology, energy storage and the IoT for energy systems.
