The Research Institute for Sustainable Energy (RISE), TCG CREST has witnessed significant growth over the past five years, driven by its strong focus on fundamental research and translational science. Beginning with a primary focus on energy storage, the institute has steadily expanded its research portfolio to encompass several other important areas, including catalysis, green hydrogen and carbon capture.

This expansion reflects RISE’s commitment to addressing emerging challenges in sustainable energy through the integration of experimental and computational approaches. By bringing together complementary research methodologies, the institute continues to strengthen its understanding of complex energy-related processes while exploring their potential for practical applications.

RISE’s growth has also been supported by the development of advanced research facilities, an expanding network of collaborations and a growing cohort of faculty members and researchers. These developments have contributed to strengthening the institute’s research capabilities and establishing a dynamic environment for scientific inquiry and innovation in sustainable energy.

At the core of RISE’s research approach is the connection between fundamental scientific understanding and real-world applications. Its work across diverse areas of energy research reflects an effort to advance scientific knowledge while contributing to the broader pursuit of sustainable energy solutions.

The institute’s progress over the past five years is documented in its recently published consolidated report, Five Years of RISE: A Report. The publication offers an overview of RISE’s research journey, institutional development and expanding research activities.
