Distributed Energy

TPU scientists are engaged in research and development of environmentally-friendly and energy-efficient technologies for sustainable energy development, such as the reduction of carbon intensity (decarbonization) and development of conventional and advanced energy sources.

TPU as a member of the Hydrogen Technology Consortium currently runs the Energy of the Future strategic project under the Priority 2030 program.

Head of the Energy of the Future strategic project is Associate Professor Alexander Pak.

Research areas: 

  • Conventional energy – efficiency-improving fossil fuel technologies, introduction of integrated models of territorial energy development, increasing the reliability and digitalization of energy systems, gas-, oil- and coal chemistry for deep processing of raw materials and waste management.

  • Advanced energy – development of renewable energy sources, nuclear and fusion energy, radioecology, nuclear and radiation safety, decommissioning of nuclear energy facilities.

  • Hydrogen energy – development of technology for hydrogen production, transportation, storage and use.
