Annual report 2024
Department of Energy and Process Engineering | NTNU
Looking Back
We proudly present this yearbook, highlighting achievements from a remarkable year at EPT. Our department operates at the forefront of research excellence, and 2024 marked a year where we manifested our position.
We have four active European Research Council (ERC) grants for pioneering research and are involved in six new Centres for Environmental-friendly Energy Research (FME) co-funded by the Norwegian Research Council and industry, two in leading roles.
Education remains at the core of our mission, and we educate outstanding graduates whose enthusiasm and dedication inspire us daily. Our programmes equip them with the knowledge and skills to excel in the rapidly evolving energy sector, ensuring they are well-prepared to make meaningful contributions to society.
A heartfelt thank you to all our employees and partners for their efforts and ambitions, and the many exciting ongoing and new projects. I hope this annual report brings back good memories of proud moments in 2024!
