The Department of Energy and Process Engineering (EPT), a part of the Faculty for Engineering, is organized into four sub divisions — or research groups — for both teaching and research purposes:

Research Groups:

• Industrial Ecology Programme
• Process and Power
• Sustainable Energy Systems
• Thermo fluids

 A glimpse into our activities

The Department of Energy and Process Engineering has a total of 260 employees, including approx. 105 doctoral students (PhD). We have an extensive contact network, and graduates from our master's programmes are employed by both industry and public administration. Our research is applied to both onshore and offshore industry, by consulting companies, energy advisory services, engineering companies, and public administration.

At the department we work with systems based on renewable energy as well as natural gas. Pollution problems both in relation to the external environment and the indoor environment in buildings is a key part of our activities. We work with industrial process engineering in the broadest sense, with processing Norwegian raw materials for high-quality and competitive products.
