About CenSES
Centre for Sustainable Energy Studies (CenSES) was established in 2011 as a national Centre for Environment-
friendly Energy Research (FME) by the Norwegian Research Council. The objective of the FME initiative is the
establishment of time-limited research centres which conduct concentrated, focused and long-term research of
high international calibre in order to solve specific challenges in the field.
FME CenSES will develop fact-based knowledge for strategic decisions, relevant both for government and
industry. The focus is knowledge for a national energy policy, for national and international climate policy, and
for strategies of innovation and commercialization.
CenSES research integrates the following disciplines: energy systems and markets, industrial ecology, econom-
ics, political science, sociology, innovation studies and science and technology studies.
The CenSES consortium includes research groups from Institute for Energy Technology (IFE), Institute for
Research in Economics and Business Administration (SNF), Norwegian School of Economics (NHH), Norwegian
University of Science and Technology (NTNU) , SINTEF, Sogn og Fjordane University College, Vestlandsforsking
