Clean Energy Research Group - SFU

WHO WE ARE

The Clean Energy Research Group (CERG) is a non-profit volunteer-based group associated with Simon Fraser University (SFU) dedicated to studying the challenges and opportunities for the global transition from fossil fuels to renewable, clean energy systems.

CERG was created from SFU's Innovation and Development lab (iiDevLab) in 2018 with initial financial support from the SFU and Willow Grove Foundation. Headed by Professor Anil (Andy) Hira at SFU, CERG members have a unique combination of technical/engineering, social science/policy, project management, and sustainable community development skills and experience. We have expertise in energy and climate change; mining and natural resource governance; technology and innovaton; and economic development policies.
