Transforming the future of energy
CUE is asking the big questions: Can we have a carbon-free energy system powered exclusively by renewable sources? Can we make energy accessible for everyone? Can we end energy poverty?
Solutions for partners
CUE projects are industry driven and research led. Our partners define a problem, and we push boundaries to generate novel applications. These partnerships are ongoing, continually evolving and are producing tangible outcomes.
This is where we are now:
- centralized grid
