The school actively responds to the national strategies of "carbon peaking" and "carbon neutrality" in energy development, fully leveraging the regional advantages of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and Shenzhen as a national hub for new energy industry development. The school is primarily responsible for developing the first-level discipline of "Power Engineering and Engineering Thermophysics," focusing on three key areas: "New Energy Science and Engineering," "Energy Storage Science and Engineering," and "Energy Catalytic Conversion and Application." This forms a disciplinary system characterized by "New Energy Science and Engineering" and "Energy Storage Science and Engineering," supported by "Energy Catalytic Conversion and Application," and integrating interdisciplinary fields such as materials science, chemistry, chemical engineering, electrical engineering, and computer science. The school has established hydrogen energy, energy storage, solar energy, smart grids, and carbon dioxide utilization and conversion as its main research directions, creating a disciplinary development system adapted to the needs of advanced energy technology, industrial development, and the cultivation of high-level talent.
The college actively builds a high-quality faculty team led by academicians and other national-level high-end talents, and constructs a discipline development system, talent training system, scientific research system and industry-university-research cooperation system that are adapted to the needs of advanced energy development, so as to provide talent and scientific and technological support for the development of advanced energy technology and industry in the country, Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and Shenzhen.
