The Energy Research Center at the Deanship of Scientific Research was established in
1996 to promote, organize and coordinate applied research and
studies related to development of various energy sources,
conventional energy conservation and renewable energy development
and utilization.
Within
this mandate the center's focus is on the following:
1. Contractual
applied research in collaboration with various departments and
colleges of the University of Bahrain.
2. Technology
transfer for strengthening the industrial and domestic sectors.
3. Professional
services to solve energy related problems in collaboration with
industry, business and government in Bahrain and other Gulf States.
