Collaborations
Centre of Renewable Energy Systems technologies, Loughborough university, UK
Technical Integration of Sustainable Energy and Water (TISEW)
The two years project is one of eight winning proposals out of over 170 proposals submitted jointly by universities in the UK and the GCC for the Gulf-UK institutional link grant. It focuses on the lead capacity building of future research and innovation experts in sustainable energy and water technologies, thus developing local expertise to design and operate such systems and reducing reliance on foreign expertise.
The national and international agreements and collaborations are important for achieving the goals, which currently are with:
Sustainable Energy Centre
Renewable Energy Desalination agreement and consultation
Bahrain Petroleum Company
Assessing the installed solar energy (PV) systems
Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Tourism
Reviewing the renewable energy international standards and develop the national standards
University of Oxford, UK
