Sustainable Energy Research Group

The University of Queensland Sustainable Energy Research Group (SERG) was formed in 2000 within the School of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering (ITEE).  Formation of this innovative research group occurred when core members of the highly successful UQ SunShark Solar Racing Team commenced postgraduate research study within the School of ITEE.  Since then, projects have expanded from work on the UltraCommuter vehicle, to stationary solar research, to hydrogen energy systems. The multi-disciplinary research group brings together scientists and engineers from various disciplines within UQ with projects in fields as diverse as life-cycle assessment, fuel processing, enviornmental impact and materials for polymer electrolyte fuel cells and solid oxide fuel cells.
